Course Overview

Understanding the differences between accrual and cash-based accounting is crucial for effective financial management. 

You'll learn to navigate between accrual and cash basis reporting through QuickBooks Online, a versatile reporting tool. The course covers practical applications such as accounting for supplies, prepaid expenses, and unearned revenue under both methods. You'll learn to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios, ensuring accurate financial management.

This course is designed for business professionals who want to master the impact of these accounting methods on financial reporting and decision-making. Accrual accounting, which records revenues and expenses when they are incurred, provides a comprehensive financial view, unlike cash-basis accounting, which records them when cash is exchanged, offering a straightforward snapshot.

Key topics covered:

  • Principles of cash and accrual basis
  • QBO Chart of Accounts
  • Accounts receivable
  • Accounts Payable
  • Accrued Expenses

Join this CPE course; you will be proficient in using QuickBooks Online to apply both accounting methods effectively, enhancing your ability to manage and report financial information accurately.
