The QuickMath calculator is a quick way to perform simple calculations without having to pull out a calculator or use a separate app on your computer. To use this feature, open the form you will be using (perhaps an invoice or estimate).

Tying out your month can be tricky. Here is a Quick QB Tip to help make your month-end easier. Weekend Trickiness Payment Gateways usually do a payout or two for each day, however over the weekend, they will often send one payout that represents multiple days of the weekend. This can be tricky if you didn't know this already and can make reconciliation harder. Sometimes checking the revenue across both days to see them balance is the fastest way to resolve this. Whatever your process is for balancing the books, hopefully, this tip will help you tie out a less stressful month-end. Testimonial: "WGits has been an absolute game changer for us. We save an incredible amount of time not manually entering sales transactions each day.  We use WGits for two brands, flowing into the same Quickbooks online account and it is seamless and accurate. The customer support is amazing and quick to respond with solutions to any problems (which are very few)." ~ Kattie Zielenski Wine
