Computer program software is NOT included with courses. Not accepted for Enrolled Agents. All course material provided. No prerequisites. Course level: Basic.

COURSE NOTE: This material was written by a CPA for ALL individuals planning to use Quickbooks; therefore, some of the material will seem basic to the seasoned CPA however, overall, the content is relevant to learning the program. Depending on the specific version of QuickBooks you are using, there may be slight cosmetic variances, however, the versions all work basically the same and this course should be able to be used for any of the versions (Pro, Premier and/or Enterprise Solutions).
