- Real-time help. A real instructor teaches every session live. If your screen does not match, you can ask.
- Practice, not just watching. You work through real tasks during class.
- A set schedule. Showing up at a set time keeps you moving forward.
- Flexible format. Join live online from home, or come in person in San Bernardino, California.
What You Learn in Our Online QuickBooks Class
QuickBooks Bookkeeping Essentials is 12 hours. It covers the core tasks bookkeepers do every week.
Creating invoices
Invoices are how a business asks to get paid. You will learn how to create and send them, and how to track which ones are paid.
Entering and paying bills
Businesses owe money too. You will learn how to enter bills and keep track of what is due.
Bank reconciliation
Reconciliation means checking that your books match your bank statement. It is how you catch mistakes early. Many beginners find this part confusing, so we take it step by step.
Running reports
Reports show how a business is doing. You will learn how to pull common reports so you or your boss can make better decisions.
