    Frequently Asked Questions

    QuickBooks allows you to label income and expenses as departments, locations, or projects using the “Class Tracking” feature. In the setup, you need to turn on class tracking in preferences, set your class list, and also assign classes on the transaction level in order to create segmented financial reports.

    Information on payroll can be keyed in using the YTD (Year-to-Date) payroll setup wizard or imported using Excel templates offered by QuickBooks. You will be required to give check details, employee details, and tax liabilities so that there is consistency in tax reporting and W-2/W-3 forms.

    QuickBooks Online encrypts all data transferred using 256-bit SSL. It also uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate tokens during the process of connecting to banks. It is also PCI DSS compliant, so that sensitive data such as bank credentials is not compromised during the feeds setup.

    With multicurrency, QuickBooks will assign a base currency and will allow foreign currencies to be assigned to vendors, customers, and bank accounts. The transactions are settled using real-time exchange rates, and the resulting gain/loss from changes in currency is recorded in specific GL accounts.

    Yes, QuickBooks also allows creating custom reports during or after the installation by modifying the available templates. They can filter by date range, customer, class, or item, and can utilize more complex reporting methods such as QuickBooks Advanced Reporting (QBAR) to run more complex SQL-based queries.
