Here are some highlights of transactions we’ve been able to complete quickly with Transaction Pro Importer: This also means there are even more business opportunities for my business. Once I got the hang of the system, I found that there are a ton of uses for it. Instead of one large entry, we create a new journal entry, with a different number for each employee so the books are more transparent and easier to review. We now use Excel and Transaction Pro Importer to get the entries into QBO. For example, I have one client where I allocate their staff’s time to their different jobs based on an external time tracking system. I am able to save a ton of time, but more importantly, I am able to format the transactions the way I want prior to upload. Now, I have the luxury to make my clients’ books look great. Thankfully, Transaction Pro Importer has capitalized on that.īefore Transaction Pro Importer, I would just start entering journal entries as one whole entry to get the data entry done faster. This is where we create analyses for our clients or very involved calculations to come up with different journal entries. Most of my time was spent in Excel, not some accounting system, where I learned that we really do all the heavy lifting in our work in Excel.
Prior to starting my own consulting business and becoming a QuickBooks ProAdvisor ®, I worked as a forensic accountant, auditor and senior staff accountant.
My hands were saved – and so was my computer! With this app, I just had to format an excel spreadsheet to look like the template they provided me and then I could simply upload transactions to my heart’s content. I searched the Intuit ® Marketplace to see what apps were out there to help me and that is when I found one of my now-favorite apps, Transaction Pro Importer. In order to avoid losing this data, I needed to find a viable solution. In QuickBooks ® Online (QBO), you can only enter 100 lines into a journal entry and QBO doesn’t save that transaction while you are entering the data.
