Editing the Chart of Accounts in QBO? Be careful with the mass-change option.

It looks like a huge time-saver, but Jackie Shaw has found that QBO can error-out after you've made multiple changes, and you may lose all the work you just did. In this video, she explains how to approach mass revisions more carefully and why sometimes the “faster” option isn't actually faster.

This year, we’re doing it differently. The Year End Bookkeeping Series + Live Work Groups will take you through the...

Hi Reader, When a nonprofit client asks: “Can we use this money?” Suddenly a question that sounds simple… isn’t. Because now you’re thinking about: Donor restrictions. Grant requirements. Programs. Reporting. How it was set up in QuickBooks. What the CPA will expect later. And whether the decision you make today is going to create a mess six months from now.
