QuickBooks SoftwareBy Pete Real September 19, 2017

There are few things that have as much potential to cause massive headaches for a business owner as the payroll process. Those headaches can take several different forms, but one that can lead to unpleasant confrontations with regulatory agencies, fines, and back wages is improper time tracking. Unfortunately, as modern business has evolved, the increasing number of mobile or remote workers means the last generation’s practice of punching a time clock no longer suffices. Fortunately, technology now offers powerful solutions for this problem. One that can integrate with QuickBooks—and is in fact built right into QuickBooks Online—is TSheets.

Accounting Software, Cloud Hosting, QuickBooks SoftwareBy Pete Real September 8, 2017

In the early days of QuickBooks, installing the software called for little in the way of decisions.

Intuit offers multiple versions of its QuickBooks accounting software to meet a wide range of needs across a wide range of business sizes and types.

Accounting Software, Cloud Hosting, QuickBooks SoftwareBy Pete Real June 30, 2017

Those of us who are of—ahem—a “certain age” can recall spending the last 20 years or so watching QuickBooks evolve and steadily grow in sophistication. From relatively modest beginnings as “accounting software for non-accountants”—a term that should not have been pejorative but somehow became so, at least as some in the industry used it—QuickBooks has evolved through the Pro and Premier iterations (along with specialty versions such as QuickBooks Accountant and QuickBooks Self-Employed) to ultimately field QuickBooks Enterprise, a powerful accounting suite capable of hosting up to 30 users simultaneously (compared to a maximum of three in Pro and five in Premier).

Intuit PayrollBy Pete Real May 17, 2017

Unless you own a large company, the odds are good that some degree of payroll outsourcing make sense for you. (When we say “large,” we don’t necessarily mean just the Fortune 500, but we know companies with close to 1,000 employees that outsource.) As with most other types of outsourcing, you have a choice as to how much of that particular business function you give to the vendor and how much you keep in-house. Fortunately, when it comes to payroll, Intuit has options. Let’s see how Intuit’s Assisted Payroll compares to its Full Service Payroll.

QuickBooks Enterprise Full Service Plan vs. Subscription

Accounting SoftwareBy Pete Real May 10, 2017

QuickBooks Enterprise is a powerful accounting system for small to medium businesses, capable of handling up to 30 users; customer, item, and vendor list sizes of 100,000 or more; extremely detailed control of user permissions; combined reporting from multiple companies; the ability to work in two company files simultaneously; and more. When you buy Enterprise, you automatically receive one year of the Full Service Plan. (More on that shortly.) However, Intuit also offers subscription pricing, and the two terms can sometimes cause confusion. We’re here to clarify the difference between the QuickBooks Enterprise Full Service Plan and the QuickBooks Enterprise subscription.
