Quick Books Training

There is no need to call the accountant for simple questions which can be answered in a 2 clicks in QuickBooks.

P&L is a profit and loss statement, or a picture of your company.

This picture of your company is a clear picture, you just need to know how to read it.

Your company chart of accounts can be compared to buckets

Profit and Loss statements start with the words on the left that are your buckets, the numbers on the right are the costs (income) associated with those buckets.

Every P&L starts with the income bucket and a number next to it, signifying a quantity in a time frame, usually a month or a year.

That’s not hard to understand

Now let’s name the other buckets things you understand so that it can continue to be that simple.

Let’s keep accounting guidelines

Auto expenses have sub accounts so the detail is not shown to the bank, just the main category…

Let’s make the main categories broad names easily understood by the bank, IRS and of course you.

Here is an example of a Chart of Account or “Bucket” with sub-accounts, so when you hand it to the bank only the top line shows with a total.

This is what you will see(above).

Below is what the IRS and banks will see.

What is in your inventory? (or what does QuickBooks think is in your inventory is usually the more accurate question.)

A person can easily adjust inventory using QuickBooks, and QuickBooks does a journal entry behind the scenes for you.
