What do I get with the QB101: Understanding QuickBooks class?

I have never used QuickBooks before. Which class is right for me?
QB101: Understanding QuickBooks is the perfect class to get the QuickBooks help you need. We will cover the basics, such as how to get around in QuickBooks, pay bills, enter deposits, create invoices, and much more. We will also show you how those entries affect your financial reports. We provide you with a computer so you get "hands-on" practice and the opportunity to create a new, custom QuickBooks company file to take back to the office and begin using immediately!

I already use QuickBooks. Is QB101: Understanding QuickBooks the class for me?
We recommend you begin with our QB101: Understanding QuickBooks class even if you have been using QuickBooks for several years. You will probably learn a few tips and tricks you have not seen before. But, more importantly, you will finally learn how the entries you make in QuickBooks affect your financial reports. We provide you with a computer and a "hands-on" opportunity to create a new QuickBooks company file. This process will help you identify areas for improvement which you can apply to the existing QuickBooks company file back at your office.

I am a business owner. Why should I attend your classes?
Our QB101: Understanding QuickBooks class is important for you to attend even if you will not be the one paying bills or creating invoices in QuickBooks. You will learn how to use QuickBooks reports to make better financial business decisions, to have more meaningful tax planning conversations with your CPA, and to review the work of your bookkeeper to ensure accuracy and help prevent fraud. Be sure to bring your bookkeeper to our class so they can learn QuickBooks too!

I am a bookkeeper or data entry clerk. Why should I attend your classes?
Our QB101: Understanding QuickBooks class will teach you the important basic features of QuickBooks, like paying bills and creating invoices. We will also be offering classes to teach you critical year-end reporting procedures, like 1099 preparation. All of our classes focus on teaching you business processes, tax requirements, and financial reporting so you can be an even more valuable resource for the business you serve!

I am a tax preparer or CPA. Why should I attend your classes?
Get an edge on your competition! Our QB101: Understanding QuickBooks class teaches you how to use QuickBooks to serve your clients more effectively. You will learn how to get around in QuickBooks to review and adjust your clients' QuickBooks files and how to find the numbers you need to prepare your clients' tax returns. Then, you can make your life easier during tax season by encouraging all your clients to use QuickBooks software. We appreciate your referrals to our classes to get them started right!

What version of QuickBooks will you be teaching?
We will be using QuickBooks Pro 2007 for Windows in our classes. Many of the features and all of the accounting concepts are the same for the different versions and years of QuickBooks software. Our classes will provide you with the information you need to use any year's version of QuickBooks Pro or Premier for Windows *.
