Welcome to QuickBooks Online! When you first sign in to your QuickBooks Online account, youโll be directed to the homepage dashboard. Your dashboard displays an overview of your company, giving you a quick business update (like the status of your income and expenses, your bank accounts, and more).
In this article, youโll learn how to:
Get to know your Home Dashboard
Set up your company
Manage users and their access
Edit contact and sign-in information
Note: If youโre a new user, your dashboard wonโt have any data. But once you enter transactions, the dashboard updates, displaying a real-time overview of your company finances.
The QuickBooks dashboard includes four different tabs: Get things done (Take me there), Business overview, Cash flow (Take me there), and Planner (Take me there). These tabs focus on your main reasons for using QuickBooks Online to help speed up the work. Weโve sorted critical actions such as set up, get things done, and explore how my business is doing, into different pages to help minimize information overload and make set up a breeze.
Create an invoice, review banking transactions or record a bill on the fly with the Get things done (Take me there) tab. This tab allows you to quickly set up customers, review banking and expenses, and check on your payroll health.
Truly own your small or medium sized business and gain massive insights at a glance with Business overview. With this tab you can track Cash Flow, your businessโ profitability with profit and loss, expenses, invoices and sales widgets, and see all your connected bank account balances in one place.
Highlight what information is most important to you by customizing your view. In Business overview, select Customize. Select and drag widgets to reorder them, or select and drag the sides to resize some.
Note: The dashboard view may vary from one company user to another. QuickBooks Online determines what information it displays by each userโs access rights.
There are two ways to start your QuickBooks setup:
Open Account and Settings.
Navigate using the sections on the left menu and edit as necessary.

If you cancel, the next time you sign in to QuickBooks and create a report, the setup interview opens at the point where you left off.
If you want to change a setting, you can always open Account and Settings.
