Why study QuickBooks Online?
QuickBooks Online accounting and bookkeeping program knowledge is vital if you would like to become a competitive professional and secure more clients as an accountant. As accounting is shifting rapidly into the digital age, including tax submissions directly to your tax office, QuickBooks Online is one of the leading software with over 5 million users worldwide, offering a reliable accounting package for all requirements.
QuickBooks Online has a similar structure across all countries. In my view, once you learn the basics, it is easy to navigate through any other version. I publish weekly videos on my YouTube channel @LearnbookeepingUK and give some helpful tips.
Why study online?
Studying online at your own pace, wherever you are based, helps you to achieve your goals without extra stress or pressure. No matter if your goal is to find a new job as a bookkeeper, or start your own small (or big) bookkeeping business.
The course covers all essentials, based on my years of experience with QuickBooks online software, and in my view, this is an ideal starting point for any bookkeeper at the beginning or advanced level to refresh on the latest updates.
About the course:
Course based on the QuickBooks online UK demo company. I explain how to register for a trial version and how to download the Case study with exercises (Section 1 Case study). Registering for the trial version helps to learn by doing exercises along with the videos on your own as well.
If you would like to become a successful freelance bookkeeper, I recommend going through each module and then referring when needed. ( You have indefinite access to this course!).
If you are a sole trader or a business owner and have decided to do your bookkeeping, go through the main chapters on how to set up your business, how to raise sales and credit notes, how to input the purchase invoice or purchase credit, how to connect to the bank, and how to run main reports.
