Let's start with the basics, do you know which version of QuickBooks you are using? And, if it is the right version for you? QuickBooks has many versions available. Here is just some of the basic features that users are interested in.

QB Pro is the least expensive option and is perfect for most QuickBooks Customer Service Phone Number based businesses and businesses with "light" inventory tracking needs. You can generate and track invoices and payments from customers, Enter and Pay Bills for purchases, track basic inventory, Reconcile your Bank Statement, Process Payroll for your Employees (additional charges may apply), and create standard or customized reports to suit your needs

QB Premier do you need advanced inventory tracking features or want to create Sales Orders or track Back Orders, if so, then QuickBooks Premier will be your best choice. In addition to all the features available in Pro, you can track multi-currency transactions if you conduct business outside of the US. QuickBooks Premier also comes in industry specific editions to provide even better functionality for certain industries such as Contractors, Non Profits, Manufacturers, Service Providers, or Retailers.

QB Enterprise is the most powerful of the QB product family. It also comes in the same industry specific editions, but it's data base is designed to hold more data and is capable of having up to 30 users in the company file at any given time. Financial Statement Designer, Warehouse Management, and Field Service Management Tools available for Enterprise Suite users provide advanced features that help you to manage your business in ways that were previously expensive and required a great deal of customization. Now, they can be right at your finger tips.

QuickBooks Services the Very Next Step

Selecting the right software is one thing, but choosing the correct services to compliment your software is another. Integrating your Payroll and Merchant Services can be one of the easiest ways to save time and money. I have integrated payroll and merchant service numerous times, and have truly never had a complaint. If you are using an outside payroll services, you at least owe it to yourself, and your business, to investigate the alternatives

Depending on your needs, QuickBooks has a Payroll Service for you.

Online Payroll is available in two options, Basic and Plus. The Basic provides Free support, Unlimited Payrolls, Free Direct Deposit, and Instant Check Creation. Online Plus Payroll includes all of those features, but also includes the state Tax Forms completed for you as well.

Basic Payroll is ideal for QuickBooks users that understand payroll tax filings or works closely with an accountant who will file those forms for you. For up to 3 employees, it is the least expensive of payroll options the pricing starts at $130 / per year (yes, per year)

Enhanced Payroll is a great option for employers that are fairly well organized and can take on the responsibility of getting payroll tax forms filed on time. The federal and state forms are completed for you, it's up to you to get them filed.

Assisted Payroll is the perfect solution for business owners that are more interested in having someone else handle their payroll needs. Just as you would need to do with any other payroll service, you provide the information and QuickBooks handles the payroll for you, and the tax filings are done for you, always on time and correctly.

Besides the amount of money you are likely to save by using QB to handle you payroll, you'll save valuable time too. When the payroll is done, you no longer need to get that data into your QuickBooks File. It's already been done for you.

Merchant Services

The ideal way to track payments made to you by credit card. Intuit Merchant Services (IMS) provides an integrated way to track you incoming cash receipts. This feature is fully integrated, so that you can accept payment while entering a transaction without the need to use any outside service or terminal. Your customers can even pay their bills online without calling you with the credit card information. With the click of a button, you can sync your QuickBooks Data with the funding status so you always know what has cleared and what is still outstanding, a must when it comes time to reconcile your bank account. In addition, unlike most merchant service agreements, there is no need to worry about a long term commitment. There is no cancellation fee, so if you change your mind for any reason, you will not have to pay a penalty. Rates are competitive too, I have rarely seen an instance where my client couldn't reduce the costs associated with their merchant fees. And these days, every penny counts!
