By: Tzinberg & Associates, P.C.
QuickBooks Online offers a variety of tools designed to make bookkeeping and financial management easier, but many users are not taking full advantage of the features available to them. Small changes in how you use the system can save time, improve organization, and increase efficiency. Here are five simple tips to help you get more out of QuickBooks Online and streamline your daily workflow.
- Use the search bar at the top to quickly locate customers, vendors, invoices, transactions, and reports without navigating through multiple menus.
- Bookmark frequently used pages and reports in your browser for faster access to the screens you use most often. Video Tutorial on How To Bookmarks In Quickbooks
- Let QuickBooks do the math for you. You can type formulas such as 100+25, 500-75, 10*12, or 1200/4 directly into amount fields and QuickBooks will automatically calculate the total.
- Save favorite or custom reports so you do not have to recreate filters and settings each time you need them. Video Tutorial on How to Save Customized Reports in QuickBooks Online
