It can help improve your cash flow, your customer relationships, your inventory readiness, and your future.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re already using QuickBooks Online, you know how much impact its bookkeeping abilities have had on your company\u2019s accounting operations. You\u2019re saving time, which in-turn saves money, and you\u2019re reducing errors. When a customer or vendor calls with a question, or you yourself need to track down a critical detail to solve a problem, you\u2019re able to find solutions quickly.<\/p>\n<p>You may already have learned, though, that QuickBooks Online\u2019s benefits include much more than simply getting the numbers right. When you take advantage of all it can offer, you\u2019re likely to notice more far-reaching effects.<\/p>\n<h2>The Specifics<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at how QuickBooks Online accomplishes all of this. You can do much of it on your own, but we\u2019re trained to help small businesses get the most out of QuickBooks Online. We can help you maximize the effectiveness of your accounting time so your company can:<\/p>\n<h2>Better balance between income and expenses.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/image_library\/8-2018-figure-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"831\" height=\"218\" \/><i>QuickBooks Online provides quick, real-time overviews of your sales status.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t begin to improve your company\u2019s cash flow until you understand where the financial bottlenecks are. QuickBooks Online provides that information for both income and expenses in a variety of ways. In the image above, you can see that there are seven past-due invoices. Click on the orange bar to see a list of them, and you can automatically send reminders. QuickBooks Online also automates the process of sending statements.<\/p>\n<p>You can also run accounts receivable and accounts payable reports that will show where you stand with customers and vendors, like Open Invoices, Uninvoiced Time, Unpaid Bills, and Accounts Payable Aging Detail. If you determine that one of your consistent problems with cash flow is late customer payments, you can set up a merchant account through QuickBooks Online to support credit card payments and bank transfers.<\/p>\n<h2>More repeat business because of improved customer interaction.<\/h2>\n<p>Your customers are like gold. To build the best relationships possible with them, you need a clear, updated picture of their transactions, their payment details and history, and your interaction with them. QuickBooks Online provides templates for Customer Information records that provide all of that, along with their contact information and a real-time update of the status of their invoices and payments, estimates, time activities, etc. The latter is provided in the form of an interactive list with links to immediate actions you can take.<\/p>\n<h2>A more stable, profitable inventory of products.<\/h2>\n<p>If your business sells products, you know that you have to be smart about inventory levels. Stock too much and you have too much money tied up unnecessarily. Too little, and you\u2019ll be turning customers away and possibly losing their future business. QuickBooks Online\u2019s inventory-tracking tools help you achieve and maintain that balance, so you know both when and how much to reorder.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/image_library\/8-2018-figure-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"251\" \/><i>It\u2019s easy to evaluate your inventory status very quickly in QuickBooks Online.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>QuickBooks Online also offers multiple inventory reports, like Inventory Valuation Detail, Physical Inventory Worksheet, and Sales by Product\/Service Detail.<\/p>\n<h2>Readiness<strong> for growth.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You may never want to acquire another company, or move into more spacious offices, or employ dozens of individuals. However, it\u2019s not often that a company doesn\u2019t want to be in a position to grow. And you never know when an opportunity will present itself that would require additional capital. Would you be ready?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve never applied for a business loan or tried to attract investors, you don\u2019t know how much financial information you\u2019ll need to provide, or in what format. There are very specific reports your potential lenders or investors will want to see, standard financial statements. QuickBooks Online includes templates for these, which include a Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss, and Statement of Cash Flows.<\/p>\n<p>Like the reports we mentioned earlier, they\u2019re easy to generate on the site, thanks to intelligent, customizable templates. Analyzing them, though, and making sure they\u2019re ready to be seen by third-parties takes professional expertise. We can provide that for you. We can also help you better understand and use other elements of QuickBooks Online so that you\u2019re taking advantage of all of its benefits.
