Translate Don’t Preach
"Just started using QuickBooks Online again... and wow, I forgot how much I hated it." 😅
If you've ever screamed internally at QBO, you're not alone. But here’s the deal:
QuickBooks wasn't built for accountants — it was built for humans.
QuickBooks wasn't built for accountants — it was built for humans.
💥 So before you rage-quit and grab your green ledger paper, consider this:
🔸 Forms > Journal Entries
Your client doesn't speak debit/credit. They speak “I bought stuff at Office Depot.” Meet them there.
🔸 Control-Y is Life
Want your precious debits and credits? Boom — Transaction Journal. It's hiding right behind the curtain.
🔸 Be a Translator, Not a Tyrant
Speak their language. Stop preaching. The real superpower? Making accounting make sense to non-accountants.
