1. Enter your clientsEnter each of your clients manually or import from a CSV spreadsheet file. Configure any opening balances on the client creation screen to reflect any money owed on previously issued invoices. Alternative you can manually recreate any issued unpaid invoices once you have created the client records. |
2. Enter your suppliersEnter each of your suppliers manually or import from a CSV spreadsheet file. Configure any opening balances on the supplier creation screen to reflect any money currently owed on previously issued invoices. Alternative you can manually recreate any issued unpaid invoices once you have created the supplier records.With suppliers you can if you wish just enter those with outstanding balances. All the others can be dynamically created from the bank tagging process as and when you make payments from the bank. |
3. Input your bank recordsAs you don't have any electronic banking records you will need to manually enter all your bank transactions. Once entered you can use the bank tagging process to tag all the entries until every item is tagged green. This process saves a lot of time and builds your invoice and payment records in the background. |
3. Upload your bank statementDownload a CSV, OFX or QIF bank statement from your online banking area. Ensure the transactions start from when you commenced trading or the close of the last accounting period if applicable. Once imported you can use the bank tagging process to tag all the entries until every item is tagged green. This process saves a lot of time and builds your invoice and payment records in the background. |
4. Upload your trial balanceYou have indicated that you have previously been using a dedicated accounting software platform. You should therefore be able to download a trial balance of nominal accounts and upload these into QuickFile. This means that you only need to upload bank transctions and invoices from the closing date on the trial balance. You don't need to upload your trial balance right away however you will need to ensure that this have been uploaded before you file your next accounts. |
