QUICKBOOKS FOR CONTRACTORS #EDCQUICKB
Scott Paxton
Contractors have many unique bookkeeping issues, so we've designed
this course from the ground up to meet the specific accounting needs
of the construction industry. In this six-week course, you'll learn
how to use the Premier Contractor Edition of QuickBooks to run your
business more efficiently. Lessons are clearly illustrated and
include clear step-by-step instructions in plain language so you can
get hands-on practice with the features that you're sure to use on a
daily basis. You'll discover how to create custom and
professional-looking contract estimates. You'll also learn the
different methods available to bill your clients, including how to
use the QuickBooks progress invoicing and job-costing features.
You'll find out how to deal with tricky situations like change orders
and retainage requirements, and you'll be able to properly set up
accounts, items, customers and jobs. All along the way, you'll learn
how to avoid many of the big and often costly mistakes contractors
commonly make with QuickBooks. Finally, you'll learn how specific
transactions impact all your various accounts, and even some
techniques to protect your business from fraud, prepare for tax time,
and generate useful and dynamic reports. This is an on-line class.
