QBO USA vs Canada Course Description

Collaboration among QuickBooks ProAdvisors in the United States and Canada for bookkeeping and training is becoming increasingly popular.

While English may seem MOSTLY the same between the two countries, there are subtle differences worth noting.

For instance:

Canadian: Want to watch a movie?
American
: Sure. Have you seen the Titanic?

Canadian: What's that about?
American: Yes, it was. A huge one that sank.

Similar nuances apply to QuickBooks Online as well.

While the majority of the software is identical, there are significant variations to be aware of. Some differences are evident, such as variances in payroll and sales tax compliance requirements, while others are only noticed once problems occur.


Complicating things further, certain features introduced in the US may not yet be available in Canada. Familiarizing yourself with the availability of specific options will empower bookkeepers to work remotely, regardless of their clients' location.

Our esteemed guest instructor, Esther Friedberg Karp, hailing from Toronto, Canada, brings her expertise as a ProAdvisor certified in multiple countries. Known as the Queen of QuickBooks Multi-currency Accounting, Esther will guide you through this course.

Enrolling in this class will elevate your skills and help you stand out in the crowd, making you a titanic among dinghies.
