About this Event

Getting Started in QuickBooks Online
A beginner workshop for small business owners

If you've ever opened QuickBooks and immediately closed it — this session is for you.

In 90 minutes you'll go from confused to confident. We'll work through the software together using Craig's Landscaping, a free demo company built right into QBO, so there's nothing to set up and no risk to your real data.

What we cover:

• The QBO dashboard — what you're actually looking at when you log in
• Chart of Accounts — the backbone of your bookkeeping and why it matters
• Customers & Vendors — who owes you money and who you owe
• The bank feed — what it is and how it connects to your books
• Entering transactions — creating an invoice and recording an expense
• Reading your reports — Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet basics

What you leave with:
A printed workbook covering everything from the session, key terms, the five account types, and practice exercises you can try on your own in Craig's demo after class.
