IMPORTANCE OF BANK
STATEMENT AND CREDIT CARD RECONCILIATION
 
    
 

Cash is King...or can also be the downfall of your company if improperly managed. Small business owners are tasked with wearing many hats in the day-to-day operation of their business and often can't find the time to reconcile these accounts.

 

By reconciling monthly statements and reviewing general ledger accounts, business owners are able to make sound financial decisions about the growth of their company and identify particular product lines that may be non-profitable.

 

In QuickBooks, the bank and credit card reconciliation feature is accessed by going to the "Banking" drop-down menu at the top of your screen and selecting the "Reconcile" option.  And, as with the bank register, your credit card accounts also have registers available where all charges and payments can be entered. Read on to see how business owners can benefit from regular reconciliations.

QUICKBOOKS TIPS AND SHORTCUTS

  • Tip:  Set up a "credit card" account, and enter all charges from the statement using the "Enter credit card charges" screen.
  • Shortcut:  In the date field, click 'K' for the last day of the week.
  • Shortcut: CTRL-T to create a new transaction from a memorized transaction. This opens the memorized transaction list.
