Installing QuickBooks®
is relatively straightforward. If you have ever installed
software before, you should have no problem installing QuickBooks®.
If, however, you run into questions or have never installed software,
we suggest you give us a call for some assistance.
Setting Up Your
QuickBooks® Company File is more challenging. It is
far more cost effective to have a Ten Key QuickBooks® ProAdvisor
set up your company file initially before you begin entering transactions
than to have them find and fix mistakes later on. We recommend
that you set up an appointment with our ProAdvisor to configure
your company file as soon as the installation is complete. Ask
us how you can save a lot of time by filling out a Company Setup
Form prior to your appointment.

Quicken is primarily designed for home use and it doesn't meet
the needs of running a business very well. When converting to
QuickBooks®, the Quicken accounts do not always transition
straightforwardly.
Other financial software packages have varying
functionality. Most can be converted to QuickBooks®, but not
all. We recommend if you are converting, to setup an appointment
with a Ten Key ProAdvisor for assistance.
If you are upgrading from a previous version
of QuickBooks®, the transition is relatively painless. Be
sure to make a backup of your old file before proceeding, just
in case!
Many people like to enter their daily transactions,
but remain concerned about the accuracy of where those transactions
are posted. Ten Key's QuickBooks® ProAdvisor will review your
books on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis to keep your information
accurate all year long. This review can take place at your office
if you're in the Atlanta metro area, or remotely over the Internet.
This is a good time to have your bank & credit card statements,
interest statements from loan providers, and any other financial
information available. Reconciling these accounts is part of the
review service provided by Ten Key.
Keeping your data clean throughout the year helps you budget and
accurately analyze your business, and also saves you money at
tax time since your accountant will not have to make corrections
to your data.

There are many small business owners who want to spend their time
and energy providing their product to their customers. Accounting
for them is a time consuming hassle. For these clients, a Ten
Key bookkeeper will enter their daily transactions including invoices,
customer payments, deposits, bills, bill payments, checks and
timesheet entries. This service is provided on-site (in metro
Atlanta), off-site or remotely over the Internet. Arrangements
must be made to obtain paperwork from which data is entered.
Payroll Preparation Services are available for clients who want
to maintain their own payroll and subscribe to the QuickBooks®
basic payroll, which is tax table service only. Ten Key can prepare
your payroll checks as well as your payroll tax forms and payroll
tax liability payments remotely or on-site. We'll also handle
new employees, changes in employee status, W-4 information and
end of year payroll reports. This is the next best thing to having
a payroll service!
This service is not the same thing you get when you set up QuickBooks®
Deluxe Payroll, or utilize a payroll service. In those cases,
your payroll is processed remotely, they file all the forms for
you and they incur penalties if they are late or incorrect. In
the case of Ten Key Payroll Preparation Service, you maintain
your payroll on your computer and it is your responsibility to
send in the forms and pay your liabilities on time. Ten Key will
setup the payroll module, create & print payroll checks, create
& print payroll liability checks, print W-2's, maintain employee
information and basically do all of the QuickBooks® entry.
It remains your responsibility to send your forms and payments
in on time.
Backing up your data is a critical part of running a business,
yet many businesses do not have a regularly occurring backup procedure.
If you backup to your hard disk and your hard disk crashes, you
lose your data AND your backup. Backing up to floppy takes a long
time and it's easy to get the disks mixed up. It is also imperative
that you have a recent backup stored off-site, away from the building
you work in, or at least in a fire safe vault. If your building
burns down, any backups stored in that building are gone.
Intuit, as well as other companies,
offer off-site backup services, but Ten Key's backup service is
different. Other services store your data on an Internet Server,
which leaves it somewhat vulnerable to hackers. Ten Key's backup
service uses the Internet to "transport" your file,
but then off-load's it to CD-ROM. This way, your data is unavailable
to hackers, but in the event of an emergency, it is available
to you. Your data is condensed and encrypted prior to sending
which further safeguards it.
Ten Key's Off-site backup services
are intended to cover your off-site
backup storage needs. We still recommend that you backup to your
hard drive on a daily basis. Your Ten Key backup procedure can
be automated to occur as often as you would like. We recommend
at least weekly or biweekly, depending on the number of daily
transactions.
