After working with hundreds of business owners and bookkeeping professionals, Alicia has seen all kinds of crazy bookkeeping. She’s managed to distill those bad habits down into the top 10 mistakes people make in QuickBooks Online. She wants to make sure you don’t make them, too!

This one-hour course highlights the Top 10 best practices that you’ll want to get right, saving yourself wasted time and money. 

We’ll start with words of wisdom about setting up your account, and dialing in your chart of accounts and products & services. Then we’ll look at recordkeeping, from receipts to understanding what qualifies as a tax-deductible expense. We’ll finish up by taking a look at some of QBO’s “quirks” so you know proper use of the software. 

It’s important to implement these best practices right at the beginning of your QuickBooks file. It’s a lot more expensive and time consuming to fix a file than it is to get trained to do it right in the first place!

1. Know which of QuickBooks Online’s settings are required for successful new file setup
