If you’re a small business owner, QuickBooks® is an essential accounting tool. This software can perform a wide variety of important processes, from controlling cash flow to helping you process invoices. However, it’s only helpful if you utilize it to its full potential, which is why right now is the perfect time to get this amazing accounting software up and running.

Tax Time Will Be Here Before You Know It

While it may seem like your tax deadline is far off, it will be here much sooner than you think. This is especially pertinent to small business owners, who are often stretched thin while performing daily operations and other crucial tasks. Accordingly, getting an early start is key to ensure you’re ready by your deadline, which will prevent you from scrambling for information at the last moment.

You May Uncover an Issue

Getting an early start with your QuickBooks software will also alert you to any potential tax issues. Time is of the essence in this case; if you discover an error just before filing, you run the risk of missing the deadline, which can incur penalties. If you notice an error now, you’ll have time to hunt down the proper documentation and rectify the issue.

Practice Makes Perfect

Even if you’ve been using QuickBooks for many years, you may not be making full use of all its capabilities. Establishing your software now allows you to tinker with features you may not be familiar with. Some features may take a bit of practice to get used to, so it’s best to get started as early as possible.
