QuickBooks for Advanced Learners Information - Analysis and better Decisions

Course Description

In years past, conventional wisdom said that QuickBooks® Desktop (QBDT) was better suited to construction, while QuickBooks® Online (QBO®) was best used for service-based businesses. While that used to be true, the latest enhancements to QBO have eliminated that distinction. The new Project Center and Labor Costing tools now mean that project-based businesses now have powerful job costing tools, a slick new interface providing an at-a-glance dashboard overview of the financial status of any customer job, and handy one-click reports. QuickBooks Online new Projects Center has the tools you need for construction and other project management bookkeeping. QBO helps with cost accounting, including time & materials contracts, and percentage of completion, and at-a-glance profitability reports.

• Estimates
• Progress Invoicing
  
• Change orders
• Taking Deposits
• Receiving Partial Payments
• Billing for time and materials
