If you’re running a small or mid-sized business, chances are pretty good you know a thing or two about QuickBooks (or at least have heard of it). With literally millions of subscribers for the online version alone, QuickBooks is by far the dominant player in accounting software for small and mid-sized businesses. So the choice to use QuickBooks for your bookkeeping and accounting may have been one of your few no-brainer decisions in running your business.
But unless you’ve had training in QuickBooks or were already an experienced user, that first easy decision was likely followed by a lot of uncertainty, hesitation, and maybe even indecision as you tried to figure out how to use it. QuickBooks is a powerful and flexible platform, and even if you’re not aspiring to do anything beyond basic bookkeeping, getting QuickBooks to work well for you and your business is a lot more complicated than just signing up, entering your business info, and starting to process invoices and expenses. If you’re a QuickBooks user but aren’t convinced it’s all that helpful and certainly isn’t critical to running your business, you’re not alone!
