Accounting students and professionals will find much value in the course as we take theory concepts and apply them to the practical processes of using accounting software. 

If you are a student at an accredited academic institution, you may be eligible for a free trial version of QuickBooks from Intuit, which is a great tool allowing you to maximize the use of this course.

To locate this option, try an internet search for “QuickBooks Free for Students.” Remember that we are looking for results from Intuit, the owner of QuickBooks.

Comprehensive, current video content

Although this course provides much more than just video lectures, it does include almost 30 hours of video content per QuickBooks release covered. In other words, there will be 25 to 30 hours related to QuickBooks Pro 2020.

We also include:

PDF Printable Instructions – Printable documents allow us to have a hard copy reference we can always refer to. A PDF copy can be downloaded and used while not connected to the internet. The ability to work offline a huge benefit for the QuickBooks Pro 2018 software and PDF files help take advantage of this benefit.

Back-up files and data – back up files allow us to jump forward in the class content and still be able to follow along with the same set of date. Back-up files also allow us to rework a problem with the same data set. The ability to restore back-up files provides the capability to continue with a problem using the same set of data as the example even if we had made an error or two in the prior problem. Back-up files are another big advantage QuickBooks Pro 2018 has over other accounting software, including QuickBooks online. This course will utilize this advantage.

How will we be Taught?

We will learn by doing, by providing a presentation, and providing the tools to work through the processes presented. Learning QuickBooks is 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.

A partial list of topics covered is below. The number series may change, however.
