    Thank you for this video. As an aspiring bookkeeper, this video has helped so much! You mentioned that every transaction should have documentation to back up sales or expenses. Is it best to upload/verify each document as back up during this work flow. How does one keep sufficient record in case of an audit? Could you make a video about this? Also, does this work flow only apply to cash basis: would an accrual basis have additional steps? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you again.

And lets say thank you Clara for showing us how to actually "do" bookkeeping in real time. I practiced on MY books first and now Im more confident providing the service to others vs practicing on folks and messing their books up! 😮😅. I have QBOA and Im going to get certified for this year and fine tune my systems and processes and then market my services. It also helps me determine exactly what type of client I want to serve..

    Best tutorial! I have a question regarding my business structure. Started an LLC in August 2022 but was advised to change from an LLC to a Non Profit in February 2023. Do I need to have 2 separate QB accounts or can I use one and just use the date range to delineate the two?

    Great tutorials and I have a question. I upload my receipts on my QB mobile app and when I'm reconciling on the desktop it shows the receipt attached to the transaction. When I click add in the action column to complete, I get a popup message that says (You must have at least a note string or file attachment) and I'm not sure what this action requires.
