Description

This course is designed for the needs of beginners to start using QuickBooks Desktop.

You can choose to either follow the course without the software or follow along with the software.  I do recommend having a version of the software to follow along.

Although QuickBooks Desktop make change with each new release and there can be changes in  appearance, there are a lot of basics that remain.  Therefore a version 2016 or higher should allow you to follow along quite nicely.  And after the purchase of this course you will have access to the course on an ongoing basis.

This course will discuss how to access QuickBooks Desktop, the accounting software options and how to set up a company.

We will look at navigating the software, using a free QuickBooks Sample file and the company created during the course.

In the course we will take some time to get oriented to the software and what different options can do for us.

The intent being that you should gain enough knowledge to begin doing your own day to day bookkeeping.
