Learning Objective

  • Recognize common errors that will prevent your QBO from getting cluttered with bad data
  • Identify common Banking and Reconciliation errors.
  • List best practices for managing receipts and meals.

Course Overview

After working with hundreds of business owners and bookkeeping professionals, we have seen all kinds of crazy bookkeeping. In this CPE Course, we will distill those bad habits down into the top 10 mistakes people make in QuickBooks Online. 

This one-hour course highlights the Top 10 best practices that you should follow to save 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 by looking at some of QBO’s “quirks” so you know how to use the software properly. 

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

Key topics covered:

  • Customizing your settings, and refining Chart of Accounts
  • Creating products and services, and managing your vendor's list
  • Meals vs. owner draws, proper use of the banking feed, and using undeposited funds
  • Maintaining supporting documentation
  • Reconciling properly, and getting help when you need it

Join this CPE Course and learn how to use QuickBooks more effectively! We will also discuss how to avoid (and fix) common mistakes in QBO bank feeds, properly classify transactions, and best practices for recordkeeping.
