Course Overview

Accountants and Bookkeepers! Get the most out of your QuickBooks Online for Accountants (QBOA)s experience with a Full-day CPE course full of hot tips, cool tricks, and QBOA troubleshooting techniques including, Back door shortcuts, Interface tricks, and Accountant-only tools that allow you to cut your client work in half. Many Accountants and Bookkeepers are making the move to QuickBooks® Online, but others aren't ready yet. The interface is different so it can be hard to find the features you need. 

For years, the accounting industry has been a little behind the curve when it comes to adopting new technologies. Most of the operations are executed within the office and using limited devices. Because of the exponential rise in technology, firms are not left with many options and face an important decision: adopt new technology or be left behind. Mobile technology is becoming more powerful each day. Today, accounting operations can be executed from anywhere via a laptop or smartphone instead of from your office desktop. Many forward-thinking accounting firms are moving to mobile accounting to enjoy the various benefits it offers. One of the most prominent apps which are used by accountants is QuickBooks Online (QBO) Mobile Application. You can use QuickBooks Online from your car, onsite with a client, or while waiting in line. The QBO Mobile App connects to your QuickBooks Online account, even if you don’t have your computer with you. Take payments from customers right from your phone. Categorize expenses on the fly. Take pictures of receipts. Bookkeeping has never been so easy and fun.

QuickBooks® Online is the perfect software to use on a smartphone or tablet while you’re providing services to clients. The QBO mobile application has the following features and benefits :

  • It reduces paperwork by creating Estimates and Invoices onsite, with signatures. 
  • It eliminates after-the-fact accounting by using your camera to take pictures of receipts. 
  • It also uses third-party apps to keep track of employee time cards and schedules. 

In this webinar, we’ll demonstrate the specific workflow steps you’ll use to do your bookkeeping while in the field with your customers. Remember, the more you can do on the fly, the less you have to do in the office. This CPE webinar is for anyone who works while they’re out on the go, for anyone who accepts credit cards for customer payments & also for Bookkeepers and Accountants who wish to make educated recommendations to clients. Intuit has also introduced new Practice Management tools inside QuickBooks® Online for Accountants (QBOA). QBOA Practice Management is a cloud-based solution designed to be the one place for accountants to effortlessly and seamlessly manage workflow, client communications, and daily operations. We’ve heard the same tales from accounting professionals when it comes to managing their practice: anecdotes of missed deadlines and the fear that something will fall through the cracks.

Practice Management reduces the number of tools accountants need to manage their practice to just one. This solution is designed to eliminate the disjointed experience of manual tracking and provide a unified view of work that delivers visibility across all initiatives. With Practice Management, users can easily create and assign tasks directly within QBOA, which are then automatically marked as complete, once they are finished. Since QBOA is also directly connected to the applications accountants use to perform work, the software will leverage data and user behavior patterns to automate overhead and identify work that needs to get done, eliminating the need for accountants to discover and enter tasks manually. QuickBooks Online for Accountants (QBOA) new practice management tools include:

  • The Work Center to track deadlines
  • Shared Documents
  • Slack integration
  • Stetting up Your Team
  • Manage Notifications
  • Invoice Communications

This Online CPE webinar on Accounting will answer your questions, show you where to find your familiar tools and introduce all the timesaving tips and tricks that make QBO®  much easier to use than the desktop version. Join this webinar to learn about the Work Center to track deadlines, to-do lists, and delegate tasks, Shared Documents, My Accountant to communicate with clients, Slack integration , and make more money for doing less by taking advantage of Alicia Pollock's tips that you may not discover on your own.

The instructor and presentation materials were great with lots of good real life "interactive" examples. As a CPA in public accounting I won't use much of the "business" parts of QBO but it was good to see how clients could use it more effectively and mobile-use.
