We understand life happens rapidly; the same thing occurs in business. We have to address what’s in front of us. Some of us had encountered this, which prevented us from participating in one of our recent Technology Tuesdays – in real-time.
QuickBooks’ standard reports are critical to understanding your company’s past, present, and future. But the program also offers innovative tools that can make them significantly more insightful and comprehensive. QuickBooks offers two simple conventions that let you identify related data: classes and types.
QuickBooks reports can be a useful way to get a better look at your data. But as you may have seen, there are times when you need to take the data we get from QuickBooks and expand on it.
As you’ve used the reports built into QuickBooks, or even potentially created some of your own using the Custom Transaction Detail or Summary reports, you may sometimes have found that the data you’d like to display in your report is unavailable, or available only in a format less helpful to you. Perhaps, you’d also like to make your reports more visually pleasing by adding charts or graphs to better visually compare data. In situations like this, QuickBooks Advanced Reporting, or QBAR, can be a great help in getting the data you want to see, and seeing it in the way you want to see it
A variety of businesses must collect sales tax as part of their business operations, remitting those funds to the appropriate government agency on a predetermined schedule. The process of correctly collecting, recording, and paying these sales tax liabilities can be somewhat daunting at first, but QuickBooks has some tools built in that can help this go more smoothly.

Sometimes, you find that your business needs to keep track of more information about items, customers, vendors, or employees than QuickBooks has available fields for. Not everyone needs the same information, so it makes sense to be able to track what’s important to you. For situations like this, there’s a solution in the form of custom fields. These are fields that you can add to several of your lists, specifying what they’re for, and what type of data they can hold. You can even choose whether they’ll be required when creating a list element or a transaction.
For many businesses, invoices are one of the most important types of transaction for tracking sales in QuickBooks. Full of detailed options for tracking different information, and highly customizable, invoices allow you to track what your customers owe you for the products and services you sell.
