Quickbooks Online Tips
Here are some Quickbooks Online tips you need to know now, and you can start implementing these ideas immediately:
- Automate emails
- Save Time by Sending Attachments
- Track time inside QBO
- Create cash receipts
- Use keyboard shortcuts
1. Automate Emails for Invoices, Financial Statements, Sales
Automation saves time and steps. You can automatically email reports, open invoices, financial statements, sales information, etc.
2. Save Time by Sending Attachments
Your business can attach documents in QBO, such as a W-9 form to contractors, 1099s, bank and credit card statements, and more. Look around and see if there are any other documents in QBO that you can send as attachments to make your life easier.
3. Track Time Inside QBO
As consultants, you track time to invoice. Why not track your time right in QBO. Now you can quickly review and approve employee time tracked directly inside QBO in TSheets.
Previously, you could export time from TSheets to QuickBooks. But now the seamless TSheets + QBO allows you to approve multiple timesheets at once or create an employee timesheet inside QBO. The integration works in both directions, so every change you make automatically syncs with TSheets. You can manage and approve employee timesheets, run payroll, and create invoices with ease — all from your QuickBooks account.
4. Create a Cash Receipt Journal From the Sales Center
Quickly review the money you have received for a set period of time through your cash receipts journal. In Sales Transactions, you can create a journal of your cash receipts by:
- Clicking the filter drop-down list
- Select the Type “Money Received,” and
- Change the date
5. Learn the Shortcuts
Using navigation shortcuts all save time, such as:
- Tabbed browsing for multiple “windows” open in Google Chrome
- Bookmark bar, and
- Keyboard shortcuts
Research the simple keyboard shortcuts you can use within QuickBooks.
