How We Help With QuickBooks Setup

Our team has several years of real world experience implementing and using QuickBooks within many types of business scenarios, industries, and end user roles from bookkeeper to CFO.

Software Selection

First, your dedicated QuickBooks consultant will go through a detailed setup checklist to determine:

  • Which version of QuickBooks will best suit the needs of your business
  • The number of licenses required to support your staff needs
  • Any 3rd party applications needed
  • If any custom programming or integration is needed

If you buy QuickBooks from Fourlane, we offer preferred pricing on select QuickBooks products, which, in many cases, will give you a perpetual discount on all of your licenses.

System Design

In order to get the most out of QuickBooks, it is crucial that your system is designed and set up properly from the beginning. By conducting a thorough needs analysis, we can generate a detailed system design that meets both your immediate and long-term goals. Our goal is to optimize your system to generate the KPIs, Financial Reports and Management Reports you need to make strategic business decisions.

File Setup and Internal Controls

During the file setup stage, we’ll configure QuickBooks on your local network or in a secure, cloud-hosted environment and set up user access. We’ll also set up your file based on the implementation plan we developed for you, such as setting up:

  • A customized Chart of Accounts
  • Lists
  • Preferences / Settings
  • Forms
  • Payroll
  • Taxes
  • Templates
  • Inventory
  • Memorize Reports
  • Fixed Assets

If we’re importing data from your previous accounting software, we’ll clean it and ensure it has imported cleanly. Let Fourlane take the stress away when you take advantage of QuickBooks setup help from our experts.

Third-Party and Custom Applications

If, during the planning stage, we determine that you’ll need a 3rd party app and / or custom programming, we will implement those after we get your base QuickBooks file set up. If you’re using QuickBooks Enterprise, this could be as straightforward as turning on and setting up Intuit’s Advanced Inventory or Reporting Add-On. We can also handle more complex situations that require a customdeveloped application or integration with external systems. These custom applications are owned by you and build off of Intuit’s API.

Reporting and Automation

Once we’ve got your QuickBooks file and any supporting apps & integrations set up, we take it further by automating various data-entry tasks and generating reports. We can show you how to generate reports, set up automation, and / or build any custom report you need so that you get the most out of your QuickBooks data.

Training and Knowledge Transfer

Lastly, we’ll make sure your team feels confident using your new system. Every business and individual is different. We offer customizable QuickBooks training based on your needs and goals as well as your specific QuickBooks system environment. All training can be done remotely via secure web-based meeting, which makes scheduling more convenient and cost-effective. If you prefer on-site training, we offer that option as well.

Customer Story

Fourlane’s File Review process uncovers hidden problems and provides solutions to QuickBooks issues

Contemporary Research’s financials were not accurate and their QuickBooks file was 20 years old and crashed daily and inventory numbers were off. In addition, they did not have an accurate picture of its product costs because the bill of materials for assembly items wasn’t set up properly.

We have worked with Alisha Raesz at Fourlane for over 2 years. She has helped us navigate building new QB files for two companies and has been a lifesaver is keeping our QB file up to date. We consider Alisha a part of the CR team. She is extremely professional and always willing to teach us how to make changes and updates the correct way. We can't thank Alisha and the entire Fourlane team enough for helping us organize our company so we can grow! I highly recommend Alisha if you are in need of an experienced Quickbooks professional.

Our company has worked several times with Fourlane, and we could not be happier! They are both responsive and professional, and Fourlane constantly impresses with both the quality of the reports they produces for us, as well as the quick timelines he's able to adhere to (and beat at times!) If it was possible to give more than 5 stars I would, because that's just how satisfied we have been working with Fourlane.

I've been through a few different software conversions. Each of them was stressful and difficult. Fourlane made our conversion from Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains to Quickbooks Online as simple and painless as I've experienced. Every aspect was top notch. Kaylin Leland was awesome and very patient with us as our staff had varying levels or prior experience with QB. Trisha Thomas managed the project exceptionally well and was checking in frequently to make sure we were happy with every aspect. I would HIGHLY recommend Fourlane for anyone looking to transition to Quickbooks.
