QuickBooks For A Tiny Company - But not any construction company, can be setup and maintained by just about anyone who can fog a mirror. Setting Up QuickBooks and Maintaining QuickBooks for a construction company is a whole different thing. It is the difference between flying a tiny remote control toy plane at the park on a sunny afternoon and piloting a Boeing 787 jetliner with your company and everyone depending on it aboard.
Most Data Entry In QuickBooks - Is routine and boring, just like most of the time in the cockpit flying a Boeing 787 jetliner is boring and routine. The problem is when the standard bookkeeper comes across a complex transaction that is like piloting the Boeing 787 jetliner into a category five hurricane, sheer terror!
Garbage In = Garbage Out - If you have one of those bookkeepers who took a one day seminar, watched some videos, took an online class, spent a few months working in an accounting firm or is self-taught and believes in learning by experience (this means when they make a mistake you get to pay for it) then you almost certainly are paying a whole lot more in taxes than you should.
We Know These People - Very well because we have repaired, rebuilt, overhauled, done major treatment procedures on and pulled a lot of wrecked construction company QuickBooks files out of the ditch where they were wrecked!
10,000 Hours Of Practice Are Required - To master a skill according to Malcolm Gladwell the author of the book "Outlier". He book has examples like the Beatles playing nearly 10,000 hours together in Germany before the emerged as "The Beatles", Tiger Woods invested 10,000 hours on the golf course before he turned 21, Bill Gates as a kid put in 10,000 on his PC...and so it is...
Professional Bookkeepers - Are people who have invested at least 10,000 hours in practicing and learning their trade because that is what it takes to be a Master Construction Accounting And Bookkeeping Services Specialist at Fast Easy Accounting!
Putting Receipts - Inside QuickBooks is easy! Putting them in the right account so the reports are accurate, the business owner can trust them and when the taxes are filed you will pay the least amount possible that is where the professional bookkeeper earns their money.
If Your Bookkeeper - Put all those receipts in as expenses you could be overpaying your taxes by at least $5,000 and probably more.
If You Think Your Tax Preparer - Will catch the bookkeeping errors think again! That is not what they are paid to do! Most of them are paid on commission to prepare as many tax returns as fast as possible! Which means most of them will not spend the time and effort to review the details of hundreds or thousands of transactions to make sure the amounts have been put in the right accounts. Read More...
