Is reconciling QuickBooks during the holidays the last thing you want to do? Many small businesses rely on the holidays for the majority of their profits. With the large volume of sales coming in, it is easy to get caught up in the daily grind of fulfilling sales. If you are still entering data manually into QuickBooks, it is easy to fall behind on your books when you are just trying to get your orders out on time.
Manual data entry into QuickBooks can trap you in a never-ending cycle of playing catchup:
- You don’t know how much money you have in the bank
- Do you have enough inventory?
- You are not sure what your revenue is this month
- Are you charging sales tax correctly?
- Why don’t your apps talk to each other?
It’s tough to delight your customers with friendly and timely service when your operations aren’t running smoothly. Your staff can get burned out, and they might get sick on the busiest days!
We have received calls from small business owners in the New Year about needing automation to reconcile their books for all of Q4 or the entire previous year. Imagine being a customer or an employee of a business which doesn’t know how much inventory or cash they have on hand. It’s tough to stay in business, right?
Automating data entry from your sales into QuickBooks has come a long way in the past few years.
For example, with Connex for QuickBooks Desktop or Connex for QuickBooks Online you can:
- Automatically sync your ecommerce sales & inventory to QuickBooks – no need to remember to push a button
- Sync multiple (unlimited) selling channels to QuickBooks and have your ecommerce platforms talk to each other!
- Automatically sync your inventory to and from QuickBooks to multiple selling channels- no more oversells or overstock!
- Automatically match your online payouts to bank deposits – imagine how much time you will save by not having to match them manually
- Sync a summary sale if you have high order volume
- Link your shipping platforms so all the shipping information is in QuickBooks
- Integrate your marketing platforms to QuickBooks so you know which marketing efforts bring in revenue
- Correctly map sales tax to QuickBooks
- Customize field mapping to QuickBooks, with our signature technology the Connex Rules Engine.
With the right automation tool, your apps talk to each other, your QuickBooks are updated, and you can run your business smoothly without manual data entry.
Why Is It Important to Reconcile QuickBooks When You Least Feel Like It?
As the holidays are nearing, you might be tempted to invest in last-minute marketing initiatives. Examples include setting sales goals, launching new paid ads, and setting up partnerships.
When the New Year comes, your accountant can log into your QuickBooks account and file your taxes for you quickly.
The best part, however, is that you can delight your customers and grow your business. When you reconcile QuickBooks automatically, you can:
- Fulfill and ship orders orders efficiently
- Have enough inventory in stock
- Delight customers and get positive reviews
- Make financially-informed decisions about marketing initiatives
- Meet payroll, give benefits to your employees, and retain talent.
