What Accounting Office Supplies Do You Need With QuickBooks Check Printing Software?

BY Asif

If you use QuickBooks, check printing software is an included feature. Printing checks is a simple matter of going to File > Print Forms > Checks, choosing your desired account and payee, entering payment details, and hitting the “Print” button. That said, you do need some accounting office supplies to use in conjunction with QuickBooks check printing software.

Here are the basics:

• QuickBooks Software – First, you’ll need QuickBooks software if you intend to print your own checks with it. Alternately, you could invest in another check printing solution (Source: QuickBooks check printing software from Troy Group).

• Pre-printed Blank Checks – Next, you’ll need actual checks to print. Many accounting office supply companies can print custom blank checks with your company name, logo, address, and routing and account information. Choose from several check printing styles such as wallet (multiple checks per page) or voucher (one check per page with room for invoice or payroll details). These preprinted blank checks load directly into your printer, making it easy to print checks from QuickBooks.

• Stub Storage System – While QuickBooks serves as your check register, some companies prefer to keep physical check stubs in a binder. If this is your preference, you can order preprinted checks with stubs and then store your stubs in a register, binder, or small box.

These are the basic accounting office supplies needed to use QuickBooks as a check printing solution. Since you won’t necessarily have a physical checkbook register or duplicate checks on file, it’s also smart to backup QuickBooks regularly or make copies of each check you print for your records.

Using QuickBooks check printing software is much easier than writing checks by hand. You’re already using QuickBooks to keep track of your outgoing payments, making checkpointing a natural fit that can improve efficiency and help your checks to appear more professional.
