QUickbooks Payroll Advanced - Timesheets

You've come to the right place for assistance, andy-mcwilliam. Let me help you upgrade your QuickBooks Online subscription and integrate additional functionalities into your plan.

With the newest designed solutions in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Advanced, you're able to add up to twenty-five (25) potential users to your account and track employees for their hours worked using a third-party timesheet provider. With this, you can track employee's time entries and other features. To help you keep going and manage your business tasks, here's how to upgrade from QBO Plus to Advanced subscription:

1. Sign in to your QBO account and go to Settings.
2. Select Account and Settings and click Billing & Subscription.
3. Click Upgrade your plan and follow the on-screen instructions.

Additionally, you may use third-party timesheet providers like QuickBooks Time, which allows you to have a mobile time tracking app, employee scheduling, GPS and geofencing, mileage tracking, and actual project activities. If you've subscribed and are ready to set up a time-tracking feature in your QBO account, I can help integrate this functionality to keep you going. To do this:

1. Go to the Time tab from the left menu panel.
2. Click Launch QuickBooks Time.

Hi,

Thanks for your response to my question. But I notice you do not refer to Quickbooks WorkForce at all, which I thought would be the preferred option. Instead you talk about using 'third party timesheet providers such as QuickBooks Time'. Surely QB Time is not 3rd party! But both QB Time and good 3rd party apps are a significant extra cost. Whereas QB Workforce, as I understand, is free. Am I missing something? Does Workforce not provide a proper timesheet function?

You don't mention QB Payroll Advanced either. Is this bundled into QBO Advanced? I don't think so. Do I really need Payroll Advanced to do timesheets? One of your colleagues said I did, but didn't say why. Also I can't find the UK cost of upgrading from QB Payroll Standard to QB Payroll Advanced.

Finally, I asked whether a QB timesheet solution would handle people who are not employees. That is volunteers, and consultants (paid, but not employees). The apparent requirement for a Payroll package makes me suspicious that your timesheet offering is only geared to employees.

Is there any way I could do a free trial in order to answer these questions. I have trialled Payroll Advanced a number of years ago, and suspect it may not be straightforward to do another trial. But our requirements have moved on in the meantime.

I know there are a lot of questions in there, but it would be great if you (or anybody else) could answer them all.

Thanks,

Andy
