A business owner contacted us today requesting training on how to properly enter inventory items in QuickBooks (QB). She stated that they have not been doing it properly since they first started using QuickBooks and now they have several problems that they don't know how to correct, and the inventory problems in their QB are mounting. Their Spring inventory is starting to arrive and they are nervous about entering it in their system because the way they've been doing is obvioulsy not working or correct.

This is one of the main reasons it's so important to learn how to use QuickBooks correctly from the beginning. QuickBooks has many capable systems that are easy to use, but in our experience of working with over 700 businesses, most people doing it themselves either do not set up the system correctly or do not use it properly. This leads to bad data which causes poor decision making. The only reason to have a system in place is to efficiently manage your finances, sales, and inventory and to do that, you need to use your QuickBooks system effectively.

One benefit in establishing a working relationship with us (EMS) is that Mr. English is a specialist in determining which of the many product features you need to maximize at your company and configure the software for your business needs along with training the staff on how to properly use the software. We are always here for ongoing client support but why not learn how to use your system properly in the beginning so that you are not creating more work and headaches for you and your staff, plus incurring the costs to have problems corrected.
