The Professional Bookkeeper's Guide to QuickBooks - Desktop Version

Advanced Control of the Company's Financial Future

Course Description

QuickBooks Desktop is effective in managing a company's advanced accounting needs. The features in QB's Desktop edition are more complex and more customizable than the online version. The ability to control who uses it, and where it is used, is one of its biggest benefits. Access is limited to its singular location. Updates are automatically done through the subscription services, making using the most current version much easier than older editions. However, using the software incorrectly can be more of a hindrance than a help! Even well-meaning employees who don't understand QuickBooks Desktop will not do you any favors.
