This course will show you how to use QuickBooks (desktop version of the QuickBooks program - not the online version) to perform all of your accounting and payroll needs in one place. You'll discover the key features of QuickBooks, plus refresh your knowledge of the other basics of small business accounting. It will guide you through planning the perfect budget, simplifying tax returns, managing inventory, creating invoices, tracking costs, generating reports, and accurately checking off all of your financial tasks. PLEASE NOTE: If you previously ordered or took course #8205: QuickBooks there are VERY few changes in the software or information and therefore we recommend that you DO NOT order or take this course in the same CPE reporting period. Computer program software is NOT included with courses. Not accepted for Enrolled Agents. All course material provided. No prerequisites. Course level: Basic.

COURSE NOTE: The QuickBooks material was written by a CPA to provide instruction for all individuals planning to use QuickBooks; and, therefore, some of the material will seem to be basic to the seasoned CPA. However, we believe the overall content is relevant to learning QuickBooks, whether you are using the information for your own business or to advise a client on his or her use of QuickBooks.
