To: All Business Owners using QuickBooks
Hi, my name is Jennifer Thieme. I'm a Certified QuickBooks
ProAdvisor and have worked as a self employed bookkeeper for over 12
years.
Let me ask you something I ask all my clients:
How good do you want to feel
about the numbers?(tm)
I want you to feel good about your numbers in QuickBooks. That's
why I developed this new series called, "Get More From QuickBooks."
I have always worked very hard to help my clients with their
bookkeeping. I put tons of time into daily bookkeeping chores for them
and in developing solutions so they could do their own books if they
wanted.
Over time I discovered that there are common mistakes many, many
business owners make in QuickBooks. I kept training different clients
on the same problems I was seeing _over and over._
Seeing the same mistakes over and over
was like being on a merry-go-round!
These clients were intelligent people innocently trying to do their
own bookkeeping. Nothing wrong with that.
None of these business owners knew that they were making the same
mistakes _that many other people make!_ Many of them didn't even
realize they were making ANY MISTAKES AT ALL until I pointed it out.
These mistakes create frustration, wasted time, and in some cases, a
_serious_ amount of wasted money.
Mistakes make people feel bad, no doubt about it. You can't get the
information you need, when you need it. Plus things just don't look
right and you don't know why.
Very frustrating.
And why do business owners make bookkeeping mistakes? I think it's
because...
Many small business owners
don't view bookkeeping
like they used to.
It's a recent development that people view bookkeeping as a simple
or clerical task. It wasn't always this way.
If you see old movies or books that mention bookkeepers, you will
understand the bookkeeping role better, that bookkeepers were not
simple "clerks," as they are often viewed today.
Have you ever seen "The Untouchables"? Al Capone's bookkeepers were
absolutely crucial to Eliot Ness' case against him.
In fact, income tax evasion was the only thing Ness could convict
Capone of.
And how could this happen? Because of the records kept by Capone's
bookkeepers.
Remember "All the President's Men"? Deep Throat uttered these famous
lines:
"Follow the money."
This means to trace financial records... in other words, the money
came from where? When? How?
And it went where? When? How?
There's only one way to do this. Via good bookkeeping.
I loved "Shawshank Redemption." Although in the movie Andy Dufresne
was referred to as a "banker," in reality he was a bookkeeper whose
bookkeeping skills were recognized and tapped by the prison warden.
Andy's amazing bookkeeping skills enabled him to start a new life
after escaping from the prison. (Remember seeing the two sets of books
near the end of the film?)
I think it's the advent of computer software like QuickBooks that
has somehow convinced ordinary people that bookkeepers are not
necessary, or that anybody can do bookkeeping with little or no
training.
After working in this profession for over 12 years, I can truthfully
state that excellent bookkeepers are a rare breed, and are becoming
harder and harder to find.
Bookkeeping is NOT data entry.
Good bookkeepers have specialized knowledge.
Here's something I recently saw on Yahoo Answers:
_"Does anyone know of a free QuickBooks tutorial site? I desperately
need to learn the basics of QuickBooks by tomorrow."_
"By tomorrow"???
Oh my goodness, this person is in for an unpleasant surprise!
For some reason business owners don't remember that being a good
bookkeeper is like being a nurse, a paralegal, an auto mechanic, a
contractor. It's a specialized field requiring specialized training.
Here's the good news:
ANYBODY CAN LEARN TO BE A BOOKKEEPER...
... but it's important to first see that _good bookkeeping is vital
to a successful business._
Everybody knows that marketing is important. Everybody knows that
customer service is important. Everybody knows that having an
excellent product or service to sell is important.
_But often, small business owners don't realize that good internal
bookkeeping is just as important as those other things._
