Helpful Quickbooks Tips
Having Quickbooks accounting software is such a great help to many small and medium size businesses in managing their payments, bills, and payroll functions.
It is important to continue exploring and expanding our knowledge on the different softwares we use and what a relief it can be to incorporate tips and tricks during usage.
As a user of Quickbooks, I have found that Veronica Wasek, author of The Best Quickbooks Tricks No One Ever Told You About, has a great deal of knowledge on implementing tools to make it a more user-friendly experience.
Here are just a few:
1. Show Lowest Subaccount
If you have a client who has multiple levels of sub accounts on their chart of accounts and you want to see the lowest sub account:
Login as Admin. Go to Edit > Preferences. Select Accounting. Select Company Preferences. Click on the box next to Show lowest subaccount only.
Note: This preference is available only if you select Use Account Numbers.
When this preference is ON, QuickBooks displays only the lowest subaccount.
For example, if the account you select is 54000·Rent:54100·Office:54110·Main
then QuickBooks displays 54110·Main
When this preference is OFF, QuickBooks displays the parent accounts along with the subaccount.
