Do Not Take A QuickBooks Class

Here’s why! 

Unless you are a complete QuickBooks newb, meaning you have never even opened the software before, you already know more than you think you do about how to use it.

QuickBooks Classes

QuickBooks “classes” are by their very nature generic. In a class of a dozen or more people, you may have construction companies, hair salons, retail stores, property management companies, or even a blueberry farm; and the list goes on. Yes, each of these industries can use QuickBooks software for their bookkeeping. But in very different ways, depending on the needs of the industry and their individual company.

So, once you know the basics, how to:

• Write checks,
• Enter/pay bills,
• Create invoices,
• Receive payments,

a class on the generic functionality won’t help you much.

Of course, there are added tips and tricks related to each of these transactions and many more, but the basic functionality is what it is.

Every Business is Different

What you need know about QuickBooks might be very simple or might be very complex. What a retail store needs, including inventory and sales tax, won’t be the same as what a construction company needs, such as job-costing and managing sub-contractors. Where a hair salon may need to record sales for both services and products and receipt of payment all at the same time, a property management company needs records based on properties as well as people, and handling money that doesn’t really belong to them.

Every business is different and has different needs. But more than that, every business runs in its own way. So even two companies in the same industry won’t have their bookkeeping set up in exactly the same format. How do you work, who do you want to have access to sensitive financial information, or who will be responsible for processing payroll? All of these questions need answers, and will have different methodologies in QuickBooks.
