CPE Credit:  2 hours for CPAs

Learn the basics of QuickBooks, such as adding new customers, accounts, inventory items, etc. as well as basic transactions such as journal entries, checks, invoices, other QuickBooks features.

If you're brand new to the desktop version of QuickBooks, or want to fill in gaps in your QuickBooks knowledge, this session is designed for you. QuickBooks expert David Ringstrom, CPA will take you through this eponymous accounting software from creating a company through entering just about every type of transaction.

David teaches from QuickBooks Accountant 2015, but the presentation is applicable to anyone using a recent version of QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier, and QuickBooks Enterprise. This presentation does not address QuickBooks Online, which is the cloud-based version of QuickBooks.

David’s course materials include detailed handouts with numbered steps so that you can easily recreate the steps he carries out onscreen. His fast-paced teaching style involves walking you through the numbered steps that you’ll see in the handout, and in some cases demonstrating hands-on techniques within QuickBooks.
