Why do you need to integrate ShopKeep POS with QuickBooks?
Although ShopKeep POS systems have some basic bookkeeping features, as your business grows, it's critical to invest in accounting software. Keeping proper books and tax records is essential for any business, but it becomes much more critical as the company grows. Integrating with specialized software enhances your company's potential by integrating the best of all accessible options. The end result can truly be something amazing.
- As you know, time is money, and you're losing money if you spend too much time trying to reconcile your records. Understanding how to integrate with QuickBooks will not only help you optimize your workflow, but it will also free up time and resources to focus on other aspects of your business that may have been ignored due to your head being buried in the books for too long.
- Even importing and exporting CSV files takes effort and increases the chances of making mistakes. That's why, if ShopKeep is integrated to your QuickBooks account, ShopKeep sends the appropriate journal entries to QuickBooks every night after you conclude your shift, one for sales and an optional one for cash drawer functions.
