Here are some time-saving tips for creative business owners:
✓Make employees clock their time.
Have mercy on yourself by eliminating manual entry! Have all hourly employees track and submit time with QuickBooks TSheets from any location, using any device. Each employee can be set up as a user with time tracking only. QuickBooks syncs in real time, so you can always see who’s on the clock and where with GPS tracking. This makes it easy to proactively manage overtime as you can easily compare budgeted hours to actual hours. TSheets can even track hours worked by task for employees working different jobs on the same project. You can always review and make changes before running payroll or invoicing. Or better yet, make your employees salaried, so their pay and even the deductions are the same every time.
✓Allow customers to pay you easily.
Make use of online payments to send/receive transactions as much as you can.
✓Upload pictures of receipts to Google Drive.
Instead of watching stacks of random receipts grow, take a quick snap of each new receipt and upload it to a “2021 Receipts” folder using the Google Drive mobile app. You can store images on Google Drive just like any other cloud storage service.
✓Track your driving with the QuickBooks App.
Rather than attempt to track your business mileage by scribbling it down by hand, let technology do the work for you! QuickBooks’ mobile app can automatically track your kilometres with the built-in mileage tracker. Open the app on your mobile device, and then open the Mileage tab. Switch the toggle to turn on automatic mileage tracking. Then enable GPS location services in your master admin settings to let it log your mileage after every trip, so you can see exactly where and when you’ve been. Make sure to enter your odometer reading, ideally at the beginning of the year.
