Expertise

I am a QuickBooks certified Professional Advisor and can answer questions on Quickbooks Basic and Pro, all versions through 2009. I do onsite and remote consulting through my website at http://krh-quickbookshelp.homestead.com/

Experience in the area

I have worked with Quickbooks since version 1, and have had a tip published on the Intuit website. I work exclusively with small business owners in setting up Quickbooks, giving on-going support to tweak the reports, resolving data issues and correcting problems. I offer monthly, quarterly and yearly tune-ups to prepare the clients data for presentation to their CPA at year end

Publications

Intuit Pro-connection

Education/Credentials

I have a degree in Administration and Management with 20 years of hands on business experience in many fields

What do you like about this subject?

It helps to give the business owner an accurate view of the financial status of the company.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Many times CPA's want the books set up only to aid them in tax preparation and QuickBooks can do so much more for the business owner. Correctly set up it will help the owner get a firm overall view of their business and aid them in making proper financial decisions. It also integrates with hundreds of other business applications.
