Need a quick overview of your business performance? The QuickBooks Insights tab is filled with customizable graphics and report links. This can be a great starting place to see a summary of your business progress.

This little gem is hidden. At the upper left of your desktop homepage, there are two tabs:

Home Page
Insights

Selecting the Insights tab will show a customizable summary of your business.

The QuickBooks Insights Tab is divided into 3 sections:

Report Section
Income Section
Expenses Section

The Report Section

The top section can be customized to show up to 7 reports. You can select the reports at the upper right of the screen.

Click the gear icon on the right to see the report option selection box below.

The Income Section

The Income Section shows invoices that are open, overdue, and paid in the last 30 days.
