Another new feature in QuickBooks 2010 is the ability to create your own “Favorites” menu – I have to admit my first thought was “ok is this an accounting package or a web browser?” I’m beginning to get very confused. 507 available items to add to “favorites”, isn’t this overkill?

In today’s busy workplace business owners and payroll administrators are faced with numerous challenges which cause them to want and need to be able to quickly and accurately enter employee time cards by “crew or group” by “job or project” and by day – because that is how they are done on the jobsite. Because of these situations, they also want software that will automatically calculate and distribute overtime hours worked for all employees on all jobs for any given work week – relieving them of the time-consuming and error-prone process caused by manual calculations and time card entries; this is an area where QuickBooks is lacking in functionality.

There is NO UPGRADE path from an XP machine to Windows 7, so you will need to do a clean install……this means that you had better back up all of your data to an external source and I mean ALL of your data, your Word files, your Excel files, your pdf’s any document you’ve ever downloaded from the internet that you would “die” without; because a clean install will erase everything from your hard drive.

Well, I’ve finally found some quite time to go take my ProAdvisor Certification “test” – I’ve been a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor since 2000, when the program first was established by Intuit.
I’ve taken this test 8 years in a row now, and I swear it’s changed little – oh sure, they do put in a few [...]

but I’m charging my client
Ok, this one just totally drives me “INSANE”!
We come into contact with some ProAdvisors and the like that have never dealt with a commercial construction client and know absolutely nothing about certified payroll, aia billing, or using QuickBooks in the commercial construction industry.
Ok, so I know that there isn’t much in [...]

Most Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors (CQA), Intuit Solutions Providers (ISP), Enterprise Solutions Providers (ESP), Certified Public Accountants (CPA), what-have-you’s are really decent people—but the ones that drive me crazy are the ones that “play games”.
What do I mean by playing games? Good question, let me explain!
On our main website I’m pretty clear (ok BLUNT) about “How [...]
