10 Essential QuickBooks Tools to Maximize Efficiency


With over 64.4 percent of small businesses using the QuickBooks software for bookkeeping and accounting functions, add-ons are essential to improve the software's functionality to overcome the challenges small companies might encounter and enhance accuracy on tasks.
The QuickBooks accounting software is a financial management tool designed by Intuit to track cash flow, build workable business insights, customize and share invoices, and analyze business reports.  The software also helps manage and track inventory, process payments, perform payroll functions, carry out tax obligations, make budgets, and effectively handle customers. These features help businesses eliminate errors, remain compliant, avoid tax-related issues, avoid fines and penalties and build a reputable firm.

The QuickBooks software has both premise and off-premise versions; that is, the software can be hosted or locally installed on a computer. The hosted QuickBooks grants unlimited access from anywhere and allows for collaboration on business files at a go, provides a more secure storage and backup system and reduces the cost of running a business. On the other hand, the QuickBooks Desktop version provides access only via the computer it is installed in, reduces third-party access, personalizes control over information and puts the business in charge of backups.
