Modern reporting in QuickBooks

The updated reporting experience was built to help your clients process much larger volumes of data and rapidly deploy new analytical features so they can scale more efficiently. The experience also provides more advanced, actionable insights, including dashboard KPIs, that empower clients to make better-informed decisions and enable the platform to scale with them.

When the previous experience sunsets on May 22, all of your clients’ saved custom reports will automatically migrate to the updated reporting experience. Their reporting data, applied filters, and customizations will remain the same.

Reporting updates

• Advanced customization and visuals: Users can add almost any attribute as a column, use new grouping and pivot functionalities, and display data in visual chart formats. New visual formatting options include banded rows, color-coded columns, and gridline settings.
• Optimized layout and navigation: The redesigned interface includes a space-saving top panel for frequently used tools, as well as detailed filters in a right-hand panel. Customers can use page-level scrolling for maximum data visibility and search using Ctrl + F.
• Smarter workflows and GAAP alignment: The new reporting experience retains all previous functionality, and now includes seamless drill-downs that remember your clients’ custom settings and automatically refresh reports with new transactions. Reports also honor GAAP-aligned accounting orders and hide unused zero-balance rows for a cleaner view.

Note: You may have seen the option to Switch to classic view, but as of May 22, this option will no longer be available. Between April 1 and May 22, those using the old experience may notice they can’t save new custom reports. However, any customizations applied in these reports can be saved in the new reporting view.

Secure your bookings and get paid faster with invoice deposits

Do you have clients with an event or appointment-based business? Do they have high upfront costs? Taking payments upfront can improve your clients’ cash flow and help avoid cancellations. If your client runs an event-based business, such as  wedding photography or party planning, last-minute cancellations can be tough. When a customer doesn’t show, clients lose valuable time and money.

Now, your clients can get paid the moment they create an invoice with invoice deposits in QuickBooks. They can enter a customer’s card or ACH details and charge the deposit right away. They can secure cash flow, lock in client commitment, and stop leaving money on the table.

Make it easy for customers to pay multiple invoices quickly

Do your clients have customers with more than one unpaid invoice? Paying multiple invoices just got easier. 

Now, QuickBooks Payments lets customers pay multiple invoices at the checkout page. They can choose which invoices to pay and handle everything at once, with no need for customers to find and pay each invoice separately. When a client’s customer goes to pay an invoice online, they’ll see their unpaid invoices, specifically those already sent or past their invoice date, and can select any or all to pay in one go. 

By selecting multiple invoices at checkout, these customers save time while your clients’ books update and reconcile automatically. It’s a faster way to get paid and a more streamlined experience for everyone involved.

End-to-end garnishment tracking

QuickBooks Online Payroll now has a streamlined, end-to-end garnishment workflow to help you stay compliant and get more control, efficiency, and peace of mind.

While setting up garnishments, you can associate each one with the agency expecting it, so you can track the accrued amounts.

Tracking also goes beyond payroll, so your business can keep an eye on total garnishment payments due for each employee as well as the agency they’re payable to.
