 customers, vendors and employees. How do we do that? We go into what I would call the centers over here, like the sales center is what I used to be called in the old version, the customer center, and we can manage and track our customer information, for example. And so we'd have our customers over here. On the expenses on our vendor side, expenses, which I might call the vendor center, I still call it that because there we have our vendors. And then on the payroll side, we have what I call our employee or payroll center over here. And then we can process our payroll if we're doing payroll within the system. So that's the general navigation process. Now, when we're setting up the company file, we have to then do that one time setup process that needs to be the foundation. Like if you're making a building, if you're building like a building or something like that, an office building or a house, the first thing you need to do is put down the foundation before you can have the cyclical things that would go on in the house, the day-to-day living or whatever, right? So how do you do that? Well, you'd have to then, that's usually in the cog. So within the cog, we have our lists, which are gonna be the fundamental kind of things that we need to set up. And we'll go over those in our setup process with our new company file, the main ones being the chart of accounts that we'll take a look at in more detail later, and then the products and services. Those are the main two lists that we would have to take a look at. And then you could, the other ones are important, but they're not like the foundational things, the payment methods, the terms, attachments, tags, if you're using them, custom fields, if you need the custom fields and the recurring transactions. But the big ones, chart of accounts, products and services, those are the lists that once they're set up, you're not gonna be looking at them all the time. I'll go back to the desktop, although you look at them occasionally, but those are the foundational items you need to set up first when you start a new company file. So those are in the cog up top. Also in the cog are our company information, account settings and whatnot, and then manage users and that kind of stuff. These are the foundational type of items. So we'll talk more about the lists and these foundational items in future presentations right now. I just wanna look at the account and settings. So let's go into this one, because this was set up when we did the interview kind of process. So we have the company information up top, the company name and so on and so forth. If I go into this, you could add a logo. I'll just add a quick logo here. I can add this and then add a logo. This logo might be something that you can use to populate on your invoices and stuff, for example. So I'll just add this guy as a logo. And obviously you might wanna look to see how you can optimize the size of the logo and make sure you have your professional logo. Company name showing on sales form and purchase orders connected to the business network. I'm gonna say that's the same as the company name and then the EIN number. Notice that this has got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, a nine digit number. Now, if you're sole proprietor, you might not have a company number. If you don't have any employees, the EIN number is called an employer identification number in the United States. If you don't have any employees, you might ask, why do I need an employer identification number? You may not, but if you're working with other businesses like many small businesses do, then they're gonna wanna issue you a 1099. And if you don't have an EIN number, they're gonna want your social security number, which one isn't secure because now you have to give them your personal number and two doesn't look as professional. So if you don't have an EIN number, you might wanna get one, even if you're a sole proprietorship with no employees. Pretty easy to do, go into the IRS website and you can do it basically online at this point in time. So you can check that out if you want to. So company type. So we set this up in the setup process. We said we were a sole proprietorship versus a partnership limited liability company, small business, so on. We talked a little bit about the differences between these items at that time. So I won't go over it in detail here. We put our industry in place. So notice this is something that you can change if you didn't have it proper in the first setup process, noting that because you can change it, you can see that it doesn't really have an impact on the chart of accounts, which you would think would be the main impact when you first set up the company file. And then you've got the company email. The email might be important because that might be on the forms that we're gonna be putting in place, such as the invoice form, customer facing email. We're gonna say it's the same. If you want a different one, you can uncheck that. The company phone number, I'm gonna say 999, 999, 999. So that might be important because it might be on the forms as well. And this show on the sales form. So we might say this is website.com. So right, whatever our website name, maybe it should be gitgrikas. Let's just put ggg.com. No, that doesn't work for some reason. Let's say website.com. So we'll save that. That might be on the forms, the address. So here's the address, address where your company is based. This could be important because if you do billing information, it might be necessary. If you have shipping information, then that might be the default. And with sales tax, the state that you're in and locale might be important as you set up your sales tax, which we'll take a look at later. So we set that up when we did our setup process. Company address, what you entered. Yes, I'm gonna say dude. And then customer facing address. Notice this is the same. So I'm gonna say yup, keep it as the same legal address. I'm gonna keep that as the same. If it were different, then of course you can change it there. So you have a different billing address possibly for the payments that you're making to QuickBooks versus your company address. You can change those, which might change things like what the sales tax is gonna be calculated based on and what's gonna be on the invoices. Communications with into it down here, you have your options on this side as well. So that's the general setup process. That's what has been put in place in essence. When we set up the company file, you can see a lot of this stuff was in basically that interview process. I'm gonna close this back out. I'm gonna say, do you wanna leave without saving? I'll say, I'll say do I wanna leave without saving? I think I saved it. So I'll save it and I'll say yes. And so that's the setup process that we have thus far. So going forward then, what we will do is we'll go back into this cog and we'll take a look at some more detail of some of the items in here, like the users for example, and then we'll take a look at some of the lists and set those up. We'll set up our products and we'll set up our chart of accounts and then we'll enter our beginning balances. That'll be the first part of the course that we'll need to lay out. And then we can get into constructing our transactions using the forms and we'll do that from scratch. So as we do that, we'll see the creation of the financial statements, balance sheet income statement and related reports as they're built from the base up from nothing on up. And we'll see that process. And then we'll do bank reconciliations and we'll do period and adjusting entries and we'll also track this information in the centers, customer center or sales area, vendor center, expense center and the payroll centers to see how we might manage the communication with our business affiliates, the vendors, customers, employees as we go through our standard accounting cycle.
