Quickbooks

When managing four apartment buildings using QuickBooks Desktop, you can maximize the accounting efforts by utilizing the Class Tracking and a structured Customer: Job feature to keep financial reporting organized within your company file. This specific configuration enables your office to track property-specific income and expenses flawlessly without requiring any software upgrades.

To help you get started with Class Tracking, here's how:
 

1. Go to the Edit menu, then select Preferences.
2. Click Accounting, then go to the Company Preferences tab.
3. Select the Use class tracking for transactions checkbox. You can also select the Prompt to assign classes checkbox if you want QuickBooks to remind you to assign a class to transactions.
4. Select OK.
