Tired of using QuickBooks? The first published book on double-entry accounting was published in 1494. This first published book of accounting would still serve the accounting requirements for most businesses today. There is no logical reason to learn or use most of the accrual-based accounting functionality provided in the complicated drilled-down menu in QuickBooks for self-employed or home-based enterprises. Take hands-on control of the “non-service side” of business. Save money by reducing professional service expenses and fees.
The FastBooks Solutions accounting models generate useful uniquely designed presentations of the monthly and year-to-date financial statements in an appropriate Activity Based Financial Statement format for self-employed service businesses that enable management to quickly understand and analyze the [financial drivers] which affect the profitability and assist in spot-unusual-items which may require further review.
Provides “need to know” [Actual vs. Forecast] and [Revenue vs. Billing] statistics. FastBooks Solutions also provides self-employed service businesses simple-to-understand functionality to measure, compare, and evaluate the employees who track or bill for their time, not offered in QuickBooks or other relational-based software.
When utilized as a standalone [set of books] or used as a [financial model] most of the monthly information required to populate the business model comes from monthly bank statements. Each month-end Excel file reconciles to the opening and closing cash balance on each respective bank statement. This provides an excellent audit trail for reconciling the month-end financial statements to their respective monthly bank statements.
Gain a competitive negotiating advantage and improve you’re [Excel skills] with little investment in time. This distinctive business model will save time and money and is the only [set of books] required to successfully manage the very challenging and necessary financial, tactical, planning, and strategic scope of a self-employed or home-based business.
A few examples of businesses “ideal” for the [Home-Based] Business Accounting Model are doctors, builders, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and painters, among many other self-employed entrepreneurs whose business shares “similar” concepts and dynamics that generate income through conducting profitable operations from a trade or business that they operate directly.

A quick out-of-the-box method to gain an appreciation for the simple structure of a FastBooks Solutions Excel Model is to think of it the same way as you would with any other regular Excel workbook file that has up to 18 [sheet tabs] on the Excel [sheet tab] scrollbar. An Excel workbook can accommodate up to 250 [sheet tabs]. Numbers are used for sheet tab names in order to quickly click and open any core model segment without using the Excel scroll bar.
The principal design structure throughout the model is the [yellow highlighted cells] are the only cells formatted for entering data. The [yellow highlighted input cells] in any core [sheet tab] segment can contain a number, a simple to very intricate calculation, cell notes, or a [cellpointer].
Examples of utilizing a [cellpointer] to populate [yellow highlighted cells] in core [sheet tab] segments might be a total calculation of a simple spreadsheet created to keep track of travel expenses by employees or transactions from an online bank account or data downloaded from other software.
Cellpointers can also be employed to populate [yellow highlighted input cells] in core model segments with data downloaded from QuickBooks Financial, Payroll, Point-of-Sale Business Software, or data from other ERP or CRM Business Software into user-created [sheet tab] segments.

If a device screen displays the same Excel column range for each model segment as reflected in the [18] JNG images below, the [sheet tab] model segments are adjusted correctly to the device. (To review the JNG images below use the scrollbar to scroll through the model segment images quickly.)
