Online and non visit training and support continues to grow for us as more businesses adopt the idea of using technology rather than vehicles and traffic to deal with their QuickBooks issues. Some of the comments we have received are,

How good is this? It’s like you are here.

I was unsure because of security of my computer but now I have seen it work, it really is secure.

So consider this service available to you, we can in most cases help and train sooner than waiting for an onsite visit. Rhondda loves it! Paula swears by it and Glenn uses it when he can. Supporting some of you in Northern Territory, Forbes, Dubbo, Wellington, Brisbane, Perth are just some examples, and yes it is just like being there.

Fact: 98% of businesses rely on referrals to find new customers and grow their business.
Fact: only 3% of business have a plan or system in place to realise this.

Business referrals are a life line to most business, and long term referrals come from intentional networking. So what is networking? Talking to people and handing out cards? NO IT IS RELATIONSHIP. You need to join like minded people to get results, helping each other to get there, remember “when you row some one else over a river YOU get there yourself. Glenn has been passionate about this for over 12 years and recommends BNI is something you should look at.

Perhaps one of the most important ingredients to a successful business is planning and budgeting. It is not too late yet to not do 10/11 financial year.

You can start by exporting your Profit and Loss for last year, totaled by column and then export it into Excel. Here is a historical starting point, that you can change figures in and see the outcome.

QuickBooks has budgeting function that can be entered at Class level so you can measure your actual income and expenditure against your budget. We would love to help you with this so it can help you grow your business more.

My Superannuation is calculating on overtime and it shouldn’t be? If you go to the super payroll item in question, and edit it, you will see the last screen asks you what other payroll items this should be applied to. Check the overtime is not ticked here.

Every time I put in a figure it assumes it is in cents and I want dollars why? This is a setting in preference under My Preferences in General. There is “ automatically place decimal point” this will be ticked, if you un-tick it, it will then see the number as a dollar figure.
