This post is part of an ongoing series we will be running in the upcoming weeks and months on tips and tricks to make it easier for small business owners to understand and use QuickBooks as efficiently as possible.
It’s no secret – at least to those of you who read this blog regularly – that we’re quite fond of QuickBooks as a tool for both bookkeepers and business owners. Fond is a bit of an understatement, actually; given how often we use the program for both ourselves and our clients, it might be more accurate to go so far as to say we rely on QuickBooks for most of what we do for our customers (and, quite often, our own sanity).
In any case, with the recent release of our Ultimate Guide to QuickBooks Keyboard Shortcuts, we’ve decided to start making regular posts regarding quick, handy tips and tricks from the program, so we can help other business owners use it with increased efficiency and get the most out of it. We’ll still be running our usual posts, with our take on news and opinions from other small business blogs, but we think this will be a useful way to mix things up and offer our readers a little added value here and there.
So, without further ado:
QuickBooks Tip: Want to compare any report with the previous year? Run the report you want, Click on the “Customize Report” button and select Previous Year (Dollar / Percentage or both).
