September Schuypreneur Boot Camp Tackles QuickBooks and Payroll Basics

You started a business because you had a product, service or idea you believed in. Chances are, you didn't start it because you wanted to spend your evenings sorting receipts, tracking expenses or figuring out payroll.

But keeping track of the money is part of running a business.

September's Schuypreneur Boot Camp will help take some of the mystery out of the financial side of small business ownership with a practical introduction to QuickBooks and payroll services.

Do I Really Need QuickBooks?

QuickBooks has become a commonly used accounting tool for small businesses in part because it is designed to make business accounting more manageable for people who aren't accountants.

During the session, we'll look at how a small business can use QuickBooks to organize financial information and better understand what's happening with the business's money.

If you're currently keeping track of your business through spreadsheets, notebooks, piles of receipts — or a system that only you understand — this discussion is for you.

What About Payroll?

Hiring employees brings a new set of responsibilities.

Payroll involves more than writing someone a check. Tax withholding, reporting, employment requirements and deadlines can make seemingly small mistakes much more consequential.

We'll discuss what payroll services do, when using one may make sense for a small business, and how they can help business owners manage some of the administrative responsibilities that come with having employees.

This can become even more important for businesses with employees working across state lines.

Bring Your Questions

This isn't intended to turn anyone into an accountant.

It's an opportunity to better understand the tools available to you, ask questions and determine what might make sense for your own business.
