quickbooks questions?
I have just accepted a part time job bookkeeping the only problem is I have not used quickbooks in forever and the business owner has not entered any information dating back a year or so. What is the best way to start entering information and where do I start? month by month? banking first? Once I get started I will be fine I am just swamped and I do not know where to start. Any other suggestions on this project will be greatly appreciated!

randyssgirl25: I am not trying to be out of line but are you sure that you sould have taken this postion, is it a online one or are you working in an office, I would say that the bast way for you to get started is going month by month that way you can balance as you go and not get everything entered and then try to figure out where you are off, if you need anymore help email and I can try to help you I have worked with quickbooks before Best of Luck

R Worth: Work your oldest material first. It will also help your employer because they may have missed something that you can catch. I would get some study materials on QuickBooks if you have not used it in a while. Try Intuit (the maker of QuickBooks) or QuickBooks for Dummies for starters.
You might want an accounting book as well for reference.
Good luck

Shay: I would start back where your employer left off.
Get all the bank statements and pull up the check register in QuickBooks. Start entering checks from the last check number listed in the register. I would enter the information one month at a time and do a bank reconciliation for each month to check the balance - that way when you get finished you know it is right.
A good book to have on hand is QuickBooks for Dummies. I keep a copy at work. And be sure to use your 'help' on the menu bar if you need it.
