Course Description

QuickBooks® 2014 is an accounting software program created by Intuit® for small businesses and self-employed professionals that allows you to keep track of your company's transactions and finances – all from a single, Intuit®ive, and easy-to-use software program. This course is for anyone who wants to learn QuickBooks®. You'll learn all the skills that you need to know to use the software properly to manage transactions and finances for your business.

Made for small to medium sized businesses, as well as the self-employed, QuickBooks® gives businesses the power to complete most accounting tasks themselves without hiring a full-time accountant to do it for them (although consulting an accountant is always recommended for any business).   

QuickBooks® allows businesses to easily:

·     Add customers, vendors, and inventory to QuickBooks®

·     Create and generate invoices

·     Record and pay bills

·     Enter and track inventory

·     Add and manage bank accounts, as well as other expense and income accounts including credit cards

·     Balance bank accounts

·     Track company vehicle mileage

·     Enter bills to pay vendors

·     Print checks to pay bills

·     Create budgets

·     Create payroll schedules and payroll checks

·     Pay tax liabilities

·     Generate and customize various financial reports

·     Customize templates to match the needs of your business

·     And more

Since QuickBooks® does not offer a trial version, you do not need access to the QuickBooks® software to use this course; however, it is strongly recommended to have a working copy if possible so that you can do the optional activities. If you don't have the software, you can still review the lessons and the accompanying videos to learn what QuickBooks® can do. Please note that this is a course only and does not include any software.
