Initial Setup Checklist

Client Information: 1. Complete the New Client Interview form to establish the clients accounting process flow and desired end result. 2. Determine the conversion date (QuickBooks start date). Consider the answers to the following questions: When does the companys fiscal year start? How close is today to the end of the fiscal year? Is there an accurate balance sheet and profit-and-loss statement for the current fiscal year? How far back in time is the client willing to enter historical transactions? Will the client track Payroll using QuickBooks? How many transactions occur during a typical month? Note: The start date chosen should be the last day of the prior period, rather than the first day of the new period (example: use 12/31/99 instead of 1/1/2000).
