Links to Download QuickBooks Products from the Web
Published 01/30/2010 | 
We've been getting a lot of calls from people who need to re-download their QuickBooks products, but they've lost (or deleted) the email link. Luckily, Intuit keeps a terrific database of QuickBooks downloads for their supported products. Note: for those that are unaware of QuickBooks sunset policy, they generally stop supporting a version after three years. In other words, they no longer support QuickBooks versions older than 2007 and sometime this spring they'll stop supporting 2007as well.
To make things easier for everyone involved, especially me, we've added a page to our website with links to download all the QuickBooks products currently supported by Intuit. Just remember, you will need your license and product numbers in order to install them. You also need to comply with your Intuit licensing agreement.

How to Enter Business Expenses Paid with Personal Funds in QuickBooks
Published 01/28/2010 | However, journal entries can be really confusing for non-accountants so I highly recommend that you avoid this whenever possible even if it means getting a business credit card or devoting one of your personal cards 100% to business expenses.

How to Invoice for Time and Materials in QuickBooks for Professional Services
Published 01/27/2010 | 1) Should I be using QuickBooks or is this overkill for a brand new, one man business? I do have aspirations to grow but is this going to be a distraction in the short term? Or, should I put in the time to learn it because it will pay off in the form of increased productivity?
2) If I do stay with QucikBooks – what can/should I do with it and what should I not do with it? I think that part of my trouble is that I am hoping that it will do things for me that it is not made to do. Specifically, I am trying to get it to keep time by client and by sub-tasks. But, I can’t figure out how to do that the way I want to. Maybe I just need to track time using an Excel spreadsheet and import that information to QB. Still, if I do that, how do I create invoices in QB that show the time charged to sub-tasks?
3) If I do stay with QuickBooks – would it be to my advantage to work with you to just get me set up and running and then let me take it from there? Obviously, as a new business I am running all on borrowed money now so I am trying to keep expenses to a minimum. But, I do have to track my time for clients accurately and fairly and I am putting this task off and using Post-It notes for the time being so that I can stay productive. The QuickBooks thing is not happening for me except now, at 9:15 at night. This is not going to work.
So, given that background, if I sound like I have the kinds of issues that you can address and if I am potentially your kind of client, I would like to talk to you.
- Begin by creating service items for your sub-tasks. Go to Lists > Items List, click the Item button and select New.
- Use timesheets to keep track of your time by customer and sub-task. First, turn it on by clicking Yes under Do you track time at Edit > Preferences > Time & Expenses > Company Preferences. If you are using QuickBooks Premier, also check the box next to Create invoices from a list of time and expenses. Then enter your time at Customers > Enter Time > Use Weekly Timesheet.
- If you are using QuickBooks Premier, you can add your time to invoices by going to Customers > Invoice for Time & Expenses. You can also add time to an invoice in any version of QuickBooks by clicking the Add Time/Costs button on the invoice.
