QuickBooks for Commercial/Government Contractors Online Training
Having worked with QuickBooks since it first came out in the early 1990's, and specializing in the commercial construction industry when I had an active bookkeeping practice -- and even right up until today; I'm amazed at how few resources or reference material there are for How to Use QuickBooks in the Commercial/Government Construction Industry.
In our experience, anyone can say that they "know" QuickBooks - but when you start talking about Certified Payroll, AIA Billing, weighted-average-overtime, getting equipment costs into job costing reports - you begin to see their eyes glaze over; we deal with that everyday.
We'll teach you the things you need to know about using QuickBooks, that you won't find in the QuickBooks Help file, in order to successfully run your construction business and obtain accurate job costing reports; from eBooks, live webinars, and recorded training sessions.
You'll find high-quality (budget friendly) training without having to leave the comfort of your home or office.
Please note, if you are a ProAdvisor or CPA you need to be aware that the paid training items offered in this section cannot be reprinted or redistributed.
