Hiring a QuickBooks Advisor for you business is a big decision. There are a number of things to consider.
QuickBooks is a powerful tool that can help your business but in order to utilize the software you must know how it works. This is the starting point in deciding if you need a QuickBooks Advisor.

When making a decision about a QuickBooks Advisor you must have a good understanding of your knowledge and that of your staff. 

  • Is there more you want to be able to get out of the software?

  • Will the program do what you envision it might?

  • What about the trial and error time till you get it just the way you want it?

  • What are the costs involved in bringing in an advisor?

If you are getting everything you think you need out of QuickBooks you may not need an advisor. However, if you ever wondered if there is an easier way to get a report or if you are downloading to Excel to get all the information you need, it might be worth it to check out what an advisor can do within the QuickBooks program. It may only be a matter of setting up the program a little differently and you can have what you need without the extra work.

Your employees most likely could figure out how to get where you want to given enough time. The time lost doing this can be a huge hit to the bottom line. With an advisor the knowledge is all ready there and they can train your staff in the correct way to get what you need. Trial and error can be not only time consuming but dangerous to your data integrity.

QuickBooks Advisors are trained in all aspects of the program. They manage the changes and updates to the
package. The advisors are tested and need to pass exams that really test their knowledge of QuickBooks. You can be sure that what ever you need the program to do an advisor can make it happen if possible. 

As a business owner you know how important it is to have the best tools available for your employees. When you have an advisor come in and get the program working at the optimum level (offer a few QuickBooks Tips!) you are giving your business the best bang for its QuickBook bucks.
