If you’re in the market for an online accounting solution for your SME, you’ll come across the name, QuickBooks, countless times – and for good reason too. Six good reasons, in fact. Here’s why QuickBooks Online is the perfect fit for your business.
Manage finances from anywhere
QuickBooks is built for the web and mobile devices so you can manage your finances wherever your business takes you. You can use the mobile app (or a mobile web browser) on your smartphone or tablet to add and process expenses, view reports, send invoices and much more. You can work faster and make smarter decisions with instant access to your business’s financial management at all times.
Organise your books by project
QuickBooks Projects is a new feature that lets you organise and track your business’s finances by project. This means you can link related invoices, expenses and transactions and easily assess the profitability of any project. You can also monitor all the time that’s associated with a project and view outstanding invoices and unbilled work. QuickBooks Projects is a QuickBooks Online Plus exclusive feature.
Streamline your cash flow
QuickBooks Online gathers valuable analytics about your business’s cash flow that you can use to drive decision-making. You can assess past performance and forecast your business’s cash flow, highlighting areas that need optimisation. An alarming 61% of small businesses struggle with cash flow problems and QuickBooks is an excellent first step to help you regain control.
Send invoices via WhatsApp
QuickBooks gives you several options for sending invoices – and WhatsApp is one of those unique options. Sending invoices via WhatsApp is a brilliant way of reaching clients and customers where they spend most of their time – and it can speed up payments. You can customise a message for each invoice and send it with a link to the invoice that the recipient can view online.
Optimise bank reconciliations
Bank reconciliations are onerous tasks, but they must be done to ensure that your records are accurate and up to date. QuickBooks allows you to import bank statements for faster bank reconciliations. In some cases, you can link your bank account so that statements are automatically sent when you reconcile an account on the system.
Get help in a snap
QuickBooks is famously easy to use, but you can always use QuickBooks Assistant to get help if you can’t find what you’re looking for. QuickBooks has three support options available, namely telephonic support, live chat and email. Alternatively, you can always reach out to Rae & Associates and one of our QuickBooks experts will be happy to assist you.
