Or lack thereof...
Just informing y'all that the only flash drive that had the quick books on it was confirmed dead this week. Dan has been helpful but end of the day I'm going to have to recreate the books from last year to file our tax return, our solicitation license, and of course to figure out who has paid and who hasn't.
Just an FYI.
Is the data file what was lost, or the entire QB file with the chart of accounts, etc?
If the entire chart of accounts etc. was lost, I’m pretty sure I will have a backup of that from when I was treasurer. Then you would only have to recreate transactions.
Sam, unless you have a background in bookkeeping, are you sure you want to do this? Wouldn’t it make more sense for the board to authorize you to hire a bookkeeper for about $50 an hour for however many hours it would take to recreate this history? It is drudge, dreaded work.
