# **QuickBooks Year End Closing Tips For Your Construction Company**

[![QuickBooks Year End Checklist](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/125770/1deb88cd-884b-4154-b949-40844eb2f81d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/125770/1deb88cd-884b-4154-b949-40844eb2f81d)

![Fast Easy Accounting 206-361-3950 Can Help With QuickBooks Year End Close Out](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/hs-fs/file-390490440-png/images/income-tax-checklist-from-fast-easy-accounting-206-361-3950.png)

### **Video Below Shows How To Use The Checklist**

### **QuickBooks Makes Some Closing Entries Automatically**

Several years ago the accounting departments of smaller construction companies with less than $10M in annual sales had to slog through dozens of mind numbing General Journal Entries in order to "Close The Books". With QuickBooks that process is mostly automatic.

There are still a few things the accounting department needs to do. The easiest method is to open QuickBooks and go to the help menu and click on the "Year End Guide" as shown below:

![Fast Easy Accounting 206-361-3950 Contractors Bookkeeping Services QuickBooks Year-End Guide Screen Capture](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/hs-fs/file-1737786050-png/images/fast-easy-accounting-206-361-3950-contractors-bookkeeping-services-quickbooks-year-end-guide-screen-capture.png?width=425&height=126&name=fast-easy-accounting-206-361-3950-contractors-bookkeeping-services-quickbooks-year-end-guide-screen-capture.png)

A QuickBooks Year-End Guide similar to the one shown below will pop-up. It may vary depending on the version of QuickBooks you are using.

![Fast Easy Accounting 206-361-3950 Contractors Bookkeeping Services QuickBooks Year End Guide Checklist Page 1 Screen-Capture](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/hs-fs/file-1737786065-png/images/fast-easy-accounting-206-361-3950-contractors-bookkeeping-services-quickbooks-year-end-guide-checklist-page-1-screen-capture.png?width=425&height=376&name=fast-easy-accounting-206-361-3950-contractors-bookkeeping-services-quickbooks-year-end-guide-checklist-page-1-screen-capture.png)

When you click on a task with your mouse the help screen for that task pops up and guides you through the process which normally takes several hours depending on the amount of bookkeeping data in your QuickBooks file and how complex your construction accounting system is setup.

#### **Get Ready For The Tax Preparer Step-By-Step**

1. Gather Receipts Into One Container
2. Review Personal Bank Statements - Business
3. Review Business Bank Statements – Personal
4. Reconcile Bank And Credit Card Accounts
5. Verify Petty Cash Entries
6. Invoice Unbilled Work
7. Money In (Accounts Receivable)
8. Inventory Count By December 31st
9. Fixed Assets Balance And Depreciation
10. Money Out (Accounts Payable)
11. Retirement Contributions - 401 (k), IRA, Etc.
12. Notes Payable, Loans, Mortgages, Credit Lines
13. Mileage Log / Each Vehicle / Business Use
14. W-9’s From Vendors & Contractors Over $600
15. Payroll Tax Deposits Match Quarterly Returns
16. Verify Profit And Loss - Does It Make Sense?
17. Back Up All Your QuickBooks Data Onsite And Offsite

## **When Your Computer Crashes Your QuickBooks Data Is Gone Forever!**

We strongly recommend you have a basic disaster recovery plan in place.

Step #1 back up QuickBooks onsite

Step #2 back up QuickBooks in the cloud

If your QuickBooks is resting on our [QuickBooks Desktop In The Cloud](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/quickbooks-desktop-online/?hsLang=en) Intuit Approved QuickBooks Hosting service that has multiple backup procedures in place you do not need to back up again.

We have prepared a PDF checklist you can download by clicking on the buttons below. There is nothing to fill out, simply click on the button and download it to your heart's content.

[![QuickBooks Year End Checklist](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/125770/1deb88cd-884b-4154-b949-40844eb2f81d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/125770/1deb88cd-884b-4154-b949-40844eb2f81d)

We offer QuickBooks year end closing services if you prefer not to do it yourself or rely on someone who only does it once a year and the prices are very reasonable.

## **Going Forward Is QuickBooks Right For Your Construction Company?**

If you find that QuickBooks is not doing what you want it to do and not giving you the reports you want you may want to consider trying Xero Accounting Online.

We offer both Xero and QuickBooks bookkeeping services for construction contractors and have found the dividing line is how you get paid.

## **QuickBooks Works Best If You**

1. Take Job Deposits
2. Have Change Orders
3. Issue Multiple Invoices
4. Need Job Costing Reports
5. Need Payment Applications
6. Periodic Invoices For Bank draws
7. Need Complex Construction Accounting Reports
