Learn Small Business Bookkeeping Software: Four nights of hands-on training from a QuickBooks expert

March 6, 2022

Details including current session dates, Meriden location and registration at: https://CEDF.com/qbtraining

Starts mid-April, 2022

Who needs QuickBooks training?

-Business owners or managers who want an introduction to the functions of the program. (Note: Because of the wide latitude in aptitude for mastering computer software and financial concepts in the limited time available, don't plan on this course as your only solution for learning about bookkeeping or as a substitute for professional services.)

-Business owners ormanagers who employ a bookkeeper or accountant but want to participate in some routine entries to improve business operations.

-Business owners or managers who have used desktop versions of QuickBooks but want help mastering the very different look and feel of the Online version.

How are the versions different? How do we train?

Starting in 2022 both Desktop Pro and Online are a monthly subscription program, hence CEDF does not provide a "copy" as part of this course as was done years ago for the desktop version. You'll need to obtain the QB subscription after your training. You'll use a laptop (provided) signed on with the instructor's assistance to a trial or training version. After the course, you can obtain your subscription or not as you see fit for your business.

Why do companies use theOnline version?

-They find it more convenient to collaborate with their accountant or bookkeeper as multiple login credentials are offered. No more passing memory sticks back and forth.

-Business owners or managers don't want to have to carry a laptop back and forth from office to home, etc.

-Some functions are simplified

Why do companies use the Desktop version?

-Some features are not available in Online.

-They are already comfortable with the version because they already own the software.

Each four-night course covers either the QuickBooks Online Version or Desktop Pro Version (not both) and explains the basic functions. (You must attend each of the four nights for the version you wish to learn.)
