Welcome to what we are calling our “QuickBooks Preferences Series.” Editing preferences within QuickBooks will help you be more efficient, as you’ll be able to customize settings based on the items you use most often. Additionally, you’ll be able to set up QuickBooks to suit the needs of your business.
