This
course will cover the set-up process for QuickBooks desktop, providing
quick and easy instruction to get you up and running with the QuickBooks
software.
We
will be using QuickBooks 2018, but the same process can be used for
other versions of the software. This course will get you QuickBooks file
to the point where we are ready to enter financial data and accounting
transactions.
Why choose this course
This
QuickBooks course is a quick and easy guide to getting up and running
providing detailed instruction on the process of downloading QuickBooks,
setting up a new company file, and entering customer, vendors,
employees and their opening balances.
This QuickBooks course provides more then just instructional videos.
The
online accounting course also provides PDF files. PDF files are a great
tool because the provide another format to take in information, they
can be used offline, and they can help as a reference for ourselves and
others.
We
also pride backup files. The ability to make static backup files is a
huge advantage for the desktop version of QuickBooks. Backup allow us to
jump forward in a problem or to rework a component we struggled with.
QuickBooks
desktop also allows us to have work on multiple company files at the
same time with no additional cost, providing the tools to run multiple
practice files to test processes without overwriting our data.

something best learned by doing, by applying skills to the QuickBooks
application.
In
addition to video instructions we will provide PDF files that can be
downloaded and printed. The PDF files allow us a supplemental resource
and can be used offline. The PDF files provide us with a hard copy
reference to refer back to and something we can use to help explain
concepts to others.
We
will also provide backup files which give us much more flexibility to
move around the course and correct mistakes as we learn. If we are new
to QuickBooks we recommend working through the material from start to
finish but if we have experience or are interested in a particular topic
we can jump forward, using the backup file to restore the data to a
point closer to the area we are working on.
If
we make an error and our data is not matching up we can restore the
backup file and rework the problem or restore the following data file to
a later lecture and keep moving forward with our data matching the
examples shown.
