Course Description

Updated for the new 2026 QuickBooks Online interface!! - US Based*

If you’ve ever opened QuickBooks Online and thought, “Wait, this doesn’t look like the videos I watched,” you’re not alone.  Intuit just redesigned the entire QBO experience for 2025 and this course was rebuilt from the ground up to match it.  Every click, menu, and workflow you’ll see in this course matches what you’ll see on your own screen.

This isn’t theory.  It’s hands-on learning - the bsns way!

We focus on how real businesses actually use QuickBooks Online every day.  You’ll learn to:

  • Write checks, enter and pay bills, and record everyday expenses.

  • Track customer sales, invoices, and payments accurately.

  • Reconcile accounts and understand how transactions flow through QBO.

  • Avoid the most common mistakes that cause confusion later.

Each lesson builds your confidence step by step with examples that make sense - no jargon, no MBA-speak - just clear, practical explanations.

You’ll also be ready for the Intuit Certified QuickBooks Online User Exam.
The course includes targeted practice and explanations to help you connect what you learn here with the skills tested on the certification exam.  You’ll leave knowing how to manage books for your own company, a client, or a future employer with confidence that your knowledge matches the latest version of the software.

This fourth course in the Bookkeeping Basics series continues the practical, plain-English approach that thousands of students have trusted to learn QuickBooks Online - now fully updated for 2026!

*NOTE:  This course is designed for US-based students.  To register for the Intuit account and use the practice assignments in the course, you will need access to a US telephone number.

It was a good and detailed course but there was a couple of things on the answer sheets that were incorrect and it drove me nuts cause I spent a week on one of them trying to figure out where I went wrong and then one day threw every image I could process in to chat and ended up finding out that my numbers matched another answer sheet while not matching another. overall great course. I would recommend it to anyone jumping in.

Feels good to finally get a visual view about the current QBO screens and if I'm teaching myself correctly using Craigs Practice page on QBO (I did reconcile an account to make $0 difference!). I'm going to be a bookkeeper entrepreneur and will onboard clients for basic bookkeeping services (So, Solopreneur, Freelancer, private coaches/therapists, etc. clients, just something small with max 75 transactions a month) and Ron's Course goes through exactly the things that I need, with some added stuff which is perfectly fine, and the way that MOST of his videos are below 10 minutes each is great too. I really do think Ron's course will help me boost confidence as a bookkeeper entrepreneur and be one step closer to onboarding my first few clients. Thanks Ron!

The video content was great and very well done and I'd like to congratulate the team on that! However, I did not find the projects all that helpful outside of being to-do lists nor did I like the self-graded aspect, the organization of project files also felt confusing especially at the beginning of the course.

This class was very informative, engaging, and easy to follow. The instructor was highly knowledgeable and provided valuable guidance to help navigate the transition from the desktop version to the online platform. I would recommend this class to anyone making the switch.

By Jesse Lajimodiere on 5/26/2026

I came into this yesterday knowing ZERO about how to use QuickBooks, and now I feel like I could use it efficiently to do SO many things. Thank you! I appreciate the shortness of the videos and the quizzes, too.

By Allan Rueda on 5/22/2026

Really good, learned so much and had fun with it. I only have a little complaint: in project 5, we're told to make a journal entry #AJE04A to record the balance that should have been entered for Dec. However, that journal entry doesn't show up in any of the answer keys and caused a difference in the trial balance amounts, so I had to void it in order to make my final balance match the answer key.

I've been using QBO for my personal business for about three years. This class has helped me understand it much better and learn about the features it has. I really enjoyed the hands on approach and clear instructions.

By Cheryl Nugent on 4/6/2026

Ron Trucks is an amazing teacher! i have taken other courses on bookkeeping before but never finished them because the instructor was more confusing than helpful. Not so with Ron's courses. You will not be disappointed!

By Aaron Brown on 3/24/2026

I would've liked a bit of a video overview or some type of guidance on how to get started with the project assignments instead of just a PDF file to download. Just a good starting point to get us on the right track

By Marty Mears on 2/23/2026

The topic flow sequence is perfect and makes for a great refresher for someone who's been away from QBO for several years. Very well presented and narrated! Thank you.
