Welcome to the QuickBooks family, Exstreamliners!
I know if can take time to get to know the product, but I'm confident you'll be a master of QuickBooks Desktop in no time. I'll help you get started with entering and tracking this information, but I also encourage you to find an accountant to work with you on this one since there are so many moving parts. It's important to me that you get this right.
First, I'll get you acquainted with your resources. It's great that you've been looking around the QuickBooks community and online in general, but I know it can be a challenge to filter out for just your product and the details you need.
In community, you'll want to look for two things: that the flag at the top of the page is Canada's so that the instructions will apply to your product and you'll also want to look at the product tags on posts. Most posts in community indicate which version of QuickBooks they apply to. You'll want QuickBooks Desktop.
There's also an in-product help option that's handy because it ensures you only see information that applies to QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how you can find it.
- Select Help from the top menu and choose QuickBooks Desktop Help (the F1 key is a great shortcut for these two steps).
- Click the Help tab.
- Click the Search button.
- Enter keywords and hit Enter or the right-facing arrow to search.
For instance, when I use the search term "long-term liability," an article comes up called Track long-term loans. It sounds like this may be just what you're looking for.
Again, I recommend having an accountant on your side. One that knows QuickBooks Desktop in particular will be a great asset to your business, and luckily, QuickBooks can help you connect with such a person. Visit our Find an Accountant page, enter your city or postal code, and begin your search for someone in your area.
Feel free to stop by community again!
