Ok.....I just started doing my husband's bookkeeping for his plumbing business, AT his office. His previous bookkeeper had to quit unexpectedly for health reasons, left us high and dry, no time even to train me. I am brand new to QuickBooks, but have caught on to all the basics pretty quick, at least for what I need to run his business. I believe we have the single license (allows for two users).
With Covid-19, I'm worried that eventually someone around the office might get sick and then we'll ALL be quarantined, sick or not. So with the possibility of that, I'd like to be able to work from home. We'd also like the computer AT work to still be accessible if anyone needs to pop into it to check customer info, late bills, or anything like that....so simultaneous use would be great. I'm a bit confused by all the above answers, not super tech-savvy. Can anyone kindly spell out in simple steps what *exactly* I need to do to accomplish what I've described needing, please? We can pick up another laptop just for this sole purpose if need be, or upgrade our license....but we really only need it for two users -- someone at the office, AND the computer at home. My husband was worried that having different IP addresses would affect our merchant service access (?)....which I disagree with.
Thanks so much for any help for this dummy.... ;)
