Properly Recording Customer Payments: A Key Element of Effective Bookkeeping
As a business owner, you must ensure that your financial records accurately reflect your transactions. But when you get a customer check, do you know the correct way to record it? In this blog post, we’ll share a recent success story in which a client contacted their account manager for assistance with a missing payment. The incident revealed the importance of properly recording customer payments and Zumifi’s role in providing guidance and support for accurate bookkeeping. We’ll also highlight the comprehensive bookkeeping services Zumifi offers to help streamline your financial processes.
Success Story: Unlocking the Missing Payment
A client recently contacted their Zumifi account manager about a missing payment. Upon investigation, it became evident that the client had been recording payments incorrectly, which hindered their ability to locate the missing amount. The client had mistakenly been depositing payments directly into their checking account or recording deposits without creating invoices in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Recognizing the need for immediate action, Zumifi’s account manager stepped in and rectified the errors. In addition, to prevent such issues from recurring, the client was sent a detailed email containing instructions, examples, and explanations for each step involved in recording payments accurately. The client was thrilled to receive this guidance and could implement the instructions on the same day, successfully resolving the missing payment issue.
