You don't have to understand everything happening in QuickBooks to understand your business.
Most business owners didn't start their business because they wanted to learn accounting.
You should know how your business is doing.
You should understand whether you're making money.
And you should be able to look at your financial reports without feeling completely lost.
But you don't need to know how every transaction gets categorized or why a particular entry was made in QuickBooks.
That's part of what a bookkeeper is there for.
Good bookkeeping should make the financial side of your business easier to understand, not give you another complicated system to learn.
You run the business.
Your bookkeeping should help you understand it.
