If a company has never used QuickBooks and started in 1911, what "Start Date" should be used in the EasyStep Interview?

The recommended choice for the "Start Date" in the EasyStep Interview is the date to begin tracking the company's finances. This date should reflect when the company wants QuickBooks to start recording its financial transactions. For newly set up companies, this could be the current date or any specific point in time from which the management wishes to monitor financial performance, particularly for effective bookkeeping and generating reports.

This start date allows for proper financial tracking and can be aligned with the beginning of a new fiscal year or any significant financial period. A start date prior to the company's incorporation or significant financial activities would not serve practical purposes in terms of recording and analyzing current or future financial data. Thus, the focus should be on establishing a timeframe that is relevant and useful for the ongoing financial management of the business.
