QuickBooks Plus 2009/10 QBi series
Manage your payroll
Payroll information is centralised and available at your fingertips in the Payroll Centre. From here you can perform all payroll tasks, drill down to previous payroll transactions, enter time, create and schedule payments, email pay slips to your employees, and even split their pays into multiple bank accounts. You can even edit past payroll payments to avoid recalculating entire pay cheques.
Straight forward tracking of tax and GST
QuickBooks contains an intuitive and more accurate tax tracking system for day-to-day transactions and for tax and BAS reporting. Tax Items are now linked to Tax Codes, so you can’t accidentally assign the wrong sales or purchase tax code. You can also access Help on each field of the BAS, so you know what makes up every figure. Save time and avoid penalties – the fully integrated Business Activity Statement in QuickBooks Plus means you can lodge online through the ATO’s Business Portal.
Process credit card payments
With just one click, you can receive payments from your customers by credit card and record the transactions in QuickBooks.* Reckon Tools Credit Card Payments allows you to process credit card payments directly through QuickBooks, in a secure environment.
*You will require an Internet Merchant account - contact your financial institution. Additional charges apply.
Keep track of inventory
QuickBooks allows easy entry and tracking of all your inventory movements and costs.
Import your bank statements
Reconciling your bank account is easy. Simply download your statement** and import it into QuickBooks, then match the transactions. You can even add transactions from the statements that aren’t in QuickBooks, avoiding slow and frustrating data entry.
**Check with your financial institution to see if they support this feature.
Retail Starter Kit
Reports to interpret and track your business
More than 100 reports and graphs can be generated within the Reports Centre to help you keep a close eye on your business. With just one click you can also drill down into reports to find detailed financial information. You can even convert the report into a PDF file for email, so the recipient views the report just as you see it in QuickBooks.
2009/10
Smarter employee management
The new Employee Organiser allows you to record detailed employee information such as leave, wages, promotions and contacts using the Employee Organiser Wizard, as well as produce sophisticated summaries of your employee’s details and history. By storing your important employee information in one easy-to-access location you can better manage your employees and improve business efficiency.
Reach more potential customers
The easy-to-use QuickBooks Wizard integrates Google Marketing Tools to help you create Google Adwords*, allowing you to reach more potential customers. By creating your own online advertisements you will increase your business’ visibility, as well as help customers quickly locate your business with Google Maps.
*Google Adwords is an additional product that can be purchased separately.
Control access to confidential account balances
Controlling access to your confidential account balances is easy with the QuickBooks’ Hide/Show preference. Simply switch your Account Balance previews to off to ensure only you have access to your business’ confidential account balances.
Identify multiple company files and users
