QuickBooks® Time Clock Software

April 23, 2015

If you own or manage a small to medium-sized business, you're probably already familiar with the Intuit®1 company name and their popular accounting software, QuickBooks®. Intuit® was started in 1983 and after the success of their Quicken® product for individual finances, they launched QuickBooks® for businesses in 1994. Over the years, QuickBooks® has gained in popularity, market share, and even offers several different country-specific versions of their accounting software for businesses in Canada, India, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Intuit® continues to expand their product offerings to customers all over the world, and with the large growth of businesses moving to cloud-based computing solutions, Intuit® is making their solutions available in the cloud too. QuickBooks® Online, or QBO, was first introduced in 2012 and has experienced tremendous sales growth. It's being promoted as the successor to the popular QuickBooks® desktop accounting software. A word of caution though to those looking to switch to QBO, including Intuit® Online Payroll users. QBO does not currently support direct import of employee or business records from third party software solutions, including time and attendance programs, like the desktop version does.

If you're just getting started with Virtual TimeClock, it's easy to import users from your QuickBooks® for Windows software so you can greatly reduce the amount of time needed to set up your new time and attendance system. You'll also be able to export your employee timecard hours, overtime, and leave into QuickBooks® from Virtual TimeClock. This is another huge time saver and helps prevent costly data entry errors when processing employee payroll. Since QuickBooks® for Mac uses Intuit® Online Payroll exclusively, you'l still need to manually enter your employee hours for payroll processing.

If you're looking for time clock software for your QuickBooks® desktop program, Virtual TimeClock offers one of the best solutions available with its easy QuickBooks® time clock integration.
