The fourth quarter for most businesses starts on October 1st. If you have not started to get ready for the year end, now is the time to start.
If you have been struggling to keep a manual set of books and your plan is to bring your tax payer a cardboard box or multiple plastic bags of receipts in January, there is a better plan and now is the time to put it into action.
Intuit offers several bookkeeping system options that range from the very simple to those that meet the needs of mid-market companies with sophisticated recording and reporting needs. And the cost of these programs start at FREE! Yes I did say free.
If you are a small company without inventory tracking needs and have limited customers and vendors than you can most likely use the free Simple Start Editions. Need more customers and vendors than Simple Start is also available in a very low cost edition.
For those of you that require inventory tracking there is the QuickBooks Pro edition.
You can start at the lowest level that works for you now and easily move up to a more robust version in the future. And without having to relearn a brand new program as each level is based on the preceding level.
With a good set of books you will have peace of mind, knowledge of your business and your tax preparer will be thrilled when you walk through the door without a pile of receipts for him/her to wade through. And who knows you might even save some money because better organized books allows your tax preparer to take more time actually advising you and finding tax savings instead of trying to organized a whole year’s worth of work at once.
