6. Home Page
• The QuickBooks Home page provides a big picture of how your essential business tasks fit
together. Tasks are organized into logical groups (Customer, Vendor, Employee, Company,
and Banking) with workflow arrows to help you learn how tasks relate to each other and to
help you decide what to do next. Badges and placards, at a glance, identify select tasks
that need your attention with one click access to a report showing you the detail.
7. Company Snapshot
• Use the Company Snapshot to get real-time company information and perform tasks in
one place. Here you can quickly see trends in your income and expenses, who owes you
money, who you owe money, reminders of things to do, and the balances in your accounts.
You can also quickly access transactions for all your customers, such as sales receipts,
received payments, and statement charges.
8. Customer, Vendor & Transaction Centers
• The Centers give you access to information about all of your customers/jobs (and vendors)
and their associated transactions in one place. Here you can quickly find information like
contact information, what your customers bought in the past, what invoices they've paid,
the balance they owe, notes you want to keep about them, and more. You can also quickly
access transactions such as sales receipts, received payments, and statement charges.
9. Report Center
• The Report Center is a central location for all your reports. This center gives you a Cover
Flow preview of your reports that you can browse through. Then you can go to the report
with a single click.
10. Online Banking
• In addition to previously available Web Connect, you can now use Direct Connect to import
your online banking transactions into QuickBooks. Once setup, just click the download
button from the Downloaded Transaction Window’s toolbar to automatically download your
