Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! You may be wondering what that has to do with QuickBooks & your company. I’ve thought of a few really important reasons.

There are some great promotions expiring tomorrow! *see below.

This is an excellent time for you to think about what’s important to you & your company. Implement some new company procedures & fine tune existing ones.

Bookkeeping: Do you have a Bookkeeper on staff or work with an outside firm such as our company? Are your financial records accurately managed so that you don’t have to stress over it, so you can focus on running the business?

Is your Payroll provider meeting your needs, handling the tasks they promised, & charging a fair rate?

Merchant Services: this is always a hot topic. If you’re using the QuickBooks (QB) software, does your Merchant Service fully integrate with QB so that you can process transactions directly through your QuickBooks Financial software & QuickBooks Point of Sale? Have you done a rate review to make sure you're paying a competitive rate?

If you haven’t already, how about you put into place an accounting software & a Point of Sale (POS) system?! As a business owner, you must know how your money is spent & what revenue you take in. Implementing the QB computerized accounting system is inexpensive & will quickly pay for itself.
Retailers, are you still handwriting receipts & using a basic cash register? Is your “inventory management” not really managed at all because you simply don’t have the appropriate software?  Or have you implemented a system but the staff is not fully &/or properly trained to use it? Don’t let the frustration continue! Do something good for yourself & your company on Valentine’s Day.

Also, there are usually local events that you can get involved with on Valentine’s Day to show love & encouragement to others. You can check social media sites, web search engines such as Google, your local news, & newspapers for opportunities to help others.
