QUICKBOOKS TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT
QuickBooks Technology Support for Small Businesses
QuickBooks can be one of the most important applications in a small business.
Estimates, invoices, expenses, customer information, vendor records, reports, and other important business information may depend on QuickBooks being available when you need it.
When QuickBooks stops working—or when you need to move it, upgrade it, connect another computer, set up a new employee, or protect the data—the problem can quickly become a technology problem as well as a business problem.
HispanoTech provides practical technology support for QuickBooks environments, including setup, troubleshooting, computers, networks, migrations, multi-user configurations, backups, and related technology.
You don’t have to diagnose the problem before calling us. If all you know is “QuickBooks isn’t working,” that’s enough to start.
Support is available in English and Spanish.
Tell us what’s happening, and we’ll help you figure out the technology.
SETUP & TROUBLESHOOTING
QuickBooks Setup & Technology Troubleshooting
QuickBooks Setup & Configuration
Whether you’re setting up QuickBooks on a new computer or trying to improve an existing environment, the surrounding technology needs to work properly too.
- QuickBooks installation
- Workstation setup
- User access
- Multi-user configuration
- Network connectivity
- Printer configuration
- Moving QuickBooks to a replacement computer
- Backup planning
- Basic technology configuration
If you’re also replacing or setting up computers, see our New Computer Setup & Data Migration service.
QuickBooks Troubleshooting
A QuickBooks problem is not always caused by QuickBooks itself. The problem may involve the computer, Windows, network connectivity, permissions, a printer, storage, an update, the location of a company file, or another part of the technology environment.
- QuickBooks not starting properly
- Performance problems
- Workstation connectivity
- Multi-user access
- Company file access
- Printing problems
- Network-related problems
- Software and workstation configuration
- Moving or locating QuickBooks data
- Problems after changing or replacing a computer
If the problem extends beyond QuickBooks, our Technology Support & Troubleshooting service can help us look at the broader technology environment.
DESKTOP OR ONLINE
QuickBooks Desktop & QuickBooks Online
QuickBooks Desktop Technology Support
Businesses that use QuickBooks Desktop may depend on a specific computer, company file, network location, or multi-user configuration.
- Installation and workstation setup
- Supported upgrades and transitions
- Moving QuickBooks to another computer
- Company file location and access
- Multi-user environments
- Network connectivity
- Printer integration
- Backup planning
- General technology troubleshooting
Because QuickBooks products, versions, licensing, and support availability can change, we can first look at what your business currently uses before recommending a technology approach.
QuickBooks Online Technology Support
QuickBooks Online runs in the cloud, but that doesn’t mean a small business will never need technology help.
- Computer and browser access
- User access and workstation setup
- Supported device configuration
- Printing and related computer issues
- Connectivity troubleshooting
- Moving employees to new computers
- Helping users understand the technology around the system
If an issue involves accounting configuration, bookkeeping decisions, taxes, or financial advice rather than technology, that should be handled by the appropriate accounting professional.
NEW COMPUTER OR MULTIPLE USERS
Moving QuickBooks & Supporting Multiple Computers
Moving QuickBooks to a New Computer
Replacing a business computer can involve much more than copying documents from the old machine. If QuickBooks is part of the business, we can help evaluate the technology involved in moving to the replacement system.
- Reviewing the existing QuickBooks setup
- Identifying the company data location
- Checking available backups
- Installing appropriate software on the replacement computer
- Transferring applicable data
- Configuring printers and related devices
- Testing network or multi-user access
- Verifying access to required business information
Our goal is to make the technology transition as orderly as possible while protecting important business information.
QuickBooks in a Multi-Computer Office
Some small businesses need more than one employee or computer to access QuickBooks. In those environments, the surrounding network and computers become especially important.
- Workstation connectivity
- Network access
- Multi-user configuration
- Shared company file access
- Replacement computers
- Printers
- Troubleshooting when one computer works and another doesn’t
If the problem involves the network itself, see our Wi-Fi, Networks & Internet service.
PROTECT IMPORTANT BUSINESS INFORMATION
Protecting QuickBooks Data
Accounting and business records may be among the most important information stored by a small business.
A computer failure, lost device, damaged drive, accidental deletion, ransomware incident, or other technology problem can become much more serious when important business data is not adequately protected.
We can help businesses look at the technology side of protecting important QuickBooks information, including appropriate backup planning, storage, recovery considerations, and business continuity.
Backup requirements depend on whether you’re using QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, other connected systems, and where your business information is actually stored.
Learn more about our Data Backup & Business Continuity services.
THE BIGGER TECHNOLOGY PICTURE
QuickBooks Is Usually Part of a Bigger Technology Picture
QuickBooks Doesn’t Operate by Itself
A small business may also use Microsoft Excel, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, professional email, cloud storage, printers, inventory systems, estimating tools, POS systems, and other applications.
When something changes in one part of the business, it can affect another.
That’s why HispanoTech looks at the technology around QuickBooks instead of treating every problem as an isolated software issue.
For broader help planning how your systems work together, see our Technology Consulting services.
What HispanoTech Does—and What Your Accountant Does
HispanoTech provides technology support related to QuickBooks and the computers, networks, devices, backups, and other technology that help your business use it.
We do not provide accounting, bookkeeping, tax, or financial advice.
Questions about how transactions should be categorized, accounting methods, taxes, financial reporting decisions, or other accounting matters should be handled by your bookkeeper, accountant, CPA, tax professional, or other qualified financial professional.
When appropriate, we can help with the technology while your accounting professional handles the financial and accounting decisions.
NO TECHNICAL JARGON REQUIRED
Just Tell Us What QuickBooks Is Doing
You don’t need to know whether the problem is QuickBooks, Windows, your network, the company file, a printer, a user account, or something else.
- “QuickBooks won’t open.”
- “It worked yesterday and now it doesn’t.”
- “The other computer can’t connect.”
- “We bought a new computer and need QuickBooks moved.”
- “QuickBooks won’t print.”
- “We hired someone and need them to use QuickBooks.”
- “It’s running really slowly.”
- “We don’t know if our QuickBooks data is being backed up.”
- “We need to move everything to another computer.”
- “I don’t know what’s wrong.”
That’s enough information to begin troubleshooting. We can help investigate the technology involved and explain the options in plain language.
If explaining the problem is easier for you or your employees in Spanish, that’s not a problem. You can describe what is happening in English or Spanish without translating it into technical terminology first.
