Course Description
Working from home As a self-employed freelancer has been made easy with QuickBooks Desktop. You can be an independent bookkeeper with your own clients that you can service and manage on your own schedule, at your own pace, on your own time and from your own home.
This fantastic new QuickBooks Desktop course will give you all the knowledge and skill you need to go and service clients using QuickBooks Desktop.
You will get the benefit of decades of experience from bookkeepers and those who helped place them on bookkeeping jobs. This is the real knowledge from experience that could be yours if you take this course.
This course is so fantastic because it's 4 courses in 1. In addition to teaching you all of the QuickBooks Desktop knowledge and skill as your best advantage, this course has suggestions about obtaining clients under adverse circumstances so that you are more likely to succeed than other bookkeepers who never saw this course.
The main thing that you use to perform the service your clients is QuickBooks Desktop.
This course will teach you beginner to advance in the crash courses section that's perfect for the things that you will do for your client. You learn to record their information, manage their documents and files, and give them the monthly statements they need for taxes or management reasons. You will also learn another mini course included that shows you how to expedite everything you learned in the first course, so you can service clients fast and get more clients and make more money.
Then of course, the 3rd QuickBooks Desktop section is the most important one. It's where you learned how to prove to yourself, your clients, and the rest of the world, that your service is accurate and correct and everything you do for your client is right!!
It will even help you understand and remember your legal documents that establish you as an official company. You will also learn about credentials that persuade your clients to hire you. It has great information about how to market yourself as an independent bookkeeper.
I even added a section at the end to give my personal secrets and best possible advice and information from all the experiences I have accumulated helping people both become in-house bookkeepers and self-employed bookkeepers and all the success that they've had.
I know everyone will love this course. It has extremely valuable information that almost anyone can gain from regarding being a freelancer of any kind. All self-employed people working as any kind of virtual assistant or independent remote worker will gain from this course.
There are fun projects and tests for each section for you to check how well you leaned and remembered all the great material that you will receive in this groundbreaking new course.
Most importantly, I get back to all my students very quickly to answer their course-related questions.
The course really does have everything you need, and I hope you to see you all there.

I have 3 decades of experience teaching Computerized Accounting. I have taught QuickBooks at A.S.A college in Manhattan New York. I have made my lessons available to certified job training schools for adult education and have helped place hundreds of students in good paying jobs using QuickBooks and other software that they learned in my class. Now, I've helped thousands of students from Udemy get great jobs or run their own business.
I am a permanently licensed teacher by the New York State Education Department. I am also a Certified QuickBooks Pro adviser for 2 decades. I have made these videos by determining what my clients needed.
I wanted to help anyone using QuickBooks be prepared for the real-life, hands-on challenges that come with mastering the bookkeeping function of any company. I will prepare you for real life QuickBooks situations that can be challenging or frustrating if nobody shows the tips and tricks that will make using QuickBooks a fun task
I enjoy helping students turn frustration in to a feeling of comfort and satisfaction with QuickBooks. I'm always available to my students when they need me.

I thought that the course is already outlined in a way that I will only have to follow with the instructor, but I guess this is what self-paced learning is all about. It's good so far, I've only really watch 2 videos out of this course.
