Quickbooks Services Your Business Needs

Blog

Working from home in your own business means handling your own accounting, taxes, and financial duties you may have. The financial items an employer would normally handle, are now in your hands. For some who work at home, keeping the books is fairly easy. However, there are some cases where handling the books yourself may be too overwhelming. This is especially true if your business experiences ups and downs in inventory or in client orders during certain seasons. Quickbooks and other services offer several software options and products that may be ideal and you should consider.

Business and Personal Expenses

One of the issues many business owners have is keeping separate records for their business expenses and personal expenses. Accountants and bookkeepers can set up your business with a contractor software option. This option allows you to keep separate, yet connected records for your business and your personal income or expenses. In fact, your bookkeeper can also help you implement accounts into the software to track your payments to show your actual take-home pay from the company.

Schedule C Deductions

Schedule C deductions are all of the expenses your business has during the tax year. This can be car and truck expenses, paper expenses, meetings, and hardware you need for the business. The issue for many business owners is keeping up with these expenses as they happen and managing the receipts of these expenses. You can do this with accounting software like Quickbooks or a bookkeeper with knowledge of the apps, add-ons, and upgrades available to business owners through the software. 

Mileage Tracking

You may not think of mileage tracking as something that would fall under accounting services. The truth is, this type of software has adapted over the years to help freelancers and business owners keep track of their business from the ground up. One of those tracking methods deals with mileage since mileage traveled during business can be listed as an expense. The service tracks you through an app on your phone and maintains those records for your taxes. 

These are just a few of the ways that accounting and bookkeeping services that may benefit your business. If you think any or all of these options may help, contact a local accounting and bookkeeping contractor or consider investing in software like a Quickbooks service. You can make owning a business easier by setting up an accounting system and updating it as needed.
