Introduction to QuickBooks for Your Desktop
This entry-level approach to the most widely used financial software applications in small business today will cover setting up a new company; processing sales and receipts; recording purchases and payments; and reconciling banking transactions. This workshop is recommended for any individual who is planning to use QuickBooks or has recently started using QuickBooks, rather than for the experienced user. NOTE: This workshop is designed for learning about the BASICS of QuickBooks and is not intended to troubleshoot problems that you may currently be experiencing. Those types of questions are better suited to a one-on-one consulting session or a more advanced QuickBooks workshop. Space is limited and online registration is required.
