QuickBooks Desktop 2021 Updates Respond To COVID Realities

Intuit the developer of QuickBooks clarifies the enhancement of customers engaged in buying QuickBooks even in pandemic situations. According to Intuit, the QuickBooks desktop usage continues even in COVID-19 with cloud solutions and other useful methods.

Since the pandemic has put every business in loss, the accountants, CPAs, bookkeepers, and organizations still manage to keep up with their work and the credit goes to QuickBooks. QuickBooks urges accountants to accept one of its Plus subscription levels, which provides an optional remote cloud-based discounted access add-on.

Here’s the basic that the QuickBooks Desktop 2021 has for its users: 

Automatic customer group

Creating customer groups helps you to find all customers for items such as location, customer type, or the status of the customer that follows those requirements. Then, for particular groups of customers, you can create automatic statements, submit payment notifications or create mailing lists.

Customized Receipts

For forms such as invoices, sales receipts, forecasts, statements, and purchase orders, create custom templates. To monitor how they appear and what data to include, you can customize these models.

Automated statements

To schedule statements for your clients, you can use payment notifications or let them know when they have invoices for which they still need to pay you.

The QuickBooks Desktop 2021 has an additional value as compared to QB Desktop 2020 and that value is the addition of automation. The 2020 desktop version with its automation solves major customer issues and helps in various other ways from saving time to remote tasking.
