At CFO Source, we’ve worked with many Maryland business owners and wanted to talk today about why keeping your QuickBooks up to date is important.

Always Check for Updates

QuickBooks is always releasing new updates with fixes, upgrades, and new features. We always recommend you try to stay as up to date as you can. This means when a new update comes out, you actually install it and don’t click “remind me later”. We understand regularly getting messages and having to wait for your software to update can be tedious and slightly annoying, but it’s such a crucial thing to do. New QuickBooks features offer you different ways to view your business, and could provide you with new beneficial information that changes the way you do some things.

Has Your Business Changed?

Over time, your business is going to change. Those that fail to do so typically do not stick around too long. But growing/changing your business, means your numbers are going to change, which means you may need to change the way you look at them.
