Intuit's QuickBooks Online (QBO) is the number one accounting software with millions of customers. It is both extremely useful and easy to use...once you learn how.

"Hands down, the most comprehensive QuickBooks Online course out there; great for
beginners & certification seekers!" - Hector Garcia, CPA


Learn QuickBooks Online with Alicia in this book club inspired format!

If you are a small business owner or bookkeeper & you've never used QuickBooks Online, this is the course you need!

Join me 5 weeks in a row & discover how simple it is to grow your business with QuickBooks Online.

This unique class format was designed to eliminate information overload by breaking the material into small, easily digestible segments for better long-term comprehension.


With easy-to-follow step-by-step guidance, I'll cover everything you need to get up & running quickly & with ease!


Much like a traditional book club, we'll all do the reading (& video lessons) at home, then get together once a week to talk about it. Lessons include:

 

  • Getting Started: I'll demonstrate the vital importance of bookkeeping, how to choose the correct version of QBO for your needs, & how to properly set up your file.
  • Banking: We'll also explore the Banking Center, which runs the automation that connects QBO to your bank for easy data entry.
  • Customers: I'll cover all the crucial Customer & Accounts Receivable tasks, including how to create invoices for your customers & workflows for getting paid quickly.
  • Vendors: We'll tackle Vendors, Accounts Payable, & all the ways you'll record your company's expenses.
  • Reports: Then we'll learn how to run the key reports that show how well your company is doing!
  • Tools: Explore other features in QBO that help you enjoy the software.


By the end of this course, you'll have learned how to easily manage your company's daily workflow using QuickBooks Online, & be able to run insightful reports to analyze growth.

 

What's included with this course?

Get up & running with QuickBooks free from worry or anxiety. By choosing to learn QBO with me, you not only get access to an expert, you’ll also become part of a community of business owners who share a common goal, & WANT to help if you get stuck.

 

 

When you purchase 'QBO Book Club,' you'll get:

  • Class notes so you can refresh your understanding later
  • Quizzes after each module so you can check your knowledge & make adjustments as needed
  • A digital copy of my book, "Master Intuit QuickBooks Online" to follow along during the course
  • 6 hours of easy-to-follow video instruction with a certified, Top 10 QuickBooks Online expert who will walk you through the material step-by-step
  • 5 hours of group coaching where you can get personalized answers to your most pressing QuickBooks questions

 

 

As a special bonus, I'll send you a free paperback of my book, "Master Intuit QuickBooks Online: From Set Up to Tax Time". Use it to follow along with the class, & later as a reference book to look things up quickly.

 

How it works

The way my QBO Book Club works is you'll watch the videos, thumb through the book, & take the quiz to check your understanding & see where you may need some help. It should be about 90 minutes of work per week.

Then we'll meet virtually for a 1-hr session every Wednesday from Feb 1st to March 1st. I'll point out all the PEBCAKs ("Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard", all the traps people tend to fall into), & give you the assignments for the following week.

You'll get to ask questions & get some personalized help from me & the cohort of students you're with!

It's a really great way to learn QuickBooks, & you may even make a few strategic connections along the way!
