Improve Your QuickBooks Skills!
This is a two-night course designed to help users who have some QuickBooks experience to gain further insight into several areas of the software, including how to: Create a new QB company file or adjust an existing company file; setup fixed assets and track long term liabilities; adjust inventory; setup payroll; record typical journal entries and perform year-end closing functions. The instructor will utilize the PC Windows Desktop Version, Accountant Edition, of the software to demonstrate these concepts, where students can follow along with their own laptops. (Please note- there are a limited number of loaner laptops available for those students who use do not have the PC Windows Desktop Version of QuickBooks on a portable device.
