Frequently Asked Questions About Our Classes
QuickBooks and Accounting Services in Northern New Jersey and New York City
Is the seminar hands-on?
Yes. The best and most effective computer training is where the student gets to practice presented material in front of the computer. For this reason our one day courses are always hands-on.
Can I really learn in one day?
Absolutely! When you sign up for a one-on-one training it's only you and the instructor in the room. You are guided and presented information based on your individual skill level and pace of learning. All the attention is on you and your needs.
Do students receive a training guide?
Yes. Each student receives a detailed workbook by email prior to the training.
How do I know which version of QuickBooks I should buy?
I recommend either QuickBooks Pro or Premier as those can be easily customized to almost any type of industry and business type.
Which software version do you teach?
We train on the most current version of software: QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier and Enterprise Edition. If you don't have or use the current version of the software, don't worry. Our instructor will highlight the differences.
I started a new company and need to have QuickBooks setup. Can we setup the software while I am training?
Yes. If there is a limited amount of data to enter, we can set up your new file while you are being trained. Otherwise, new file setup should be done ahead of the training.
Is QuickBooks similar to Quicken software?
It is similar but different enough to require training in order to work it properly.
Can I bring my own laptop to class?
Sure. Just make sure you have QuickBooks software installed on it.
Should I attend a seminar every time a new version of the software comes out?
No. Although there are usually some new features with every new edition of QuickBooks, in most cases the information that you learned in the previous version will apply to the new one.
