QuickBooks Online QuickStart Course Outline

VERSION NOTE: QuickBooks Online -OR- QuickBooks Desktop?
This course is for QuickBook ONLINE users in which the software is accessed via the cloud.
QuickBooks Desktop, on the other hand, is installed directly on the computer with other differences. For that reason QuickBooks Desktop users should instead attend: QuickBooks Desktop Introduction.

QuickBooks Online QuickStart Overview
This course will introduce the basics of using Quickbooks Online. It will present the day to day functions for an administrator to work with customer, vendor, employee and banking transactions for a business using the Intuit Quickbooks Online cloud application. This level 1 course will have you create a new company, add customers and vendors, work with your bills and invoicing your customers, entering transactions and working with your bank accounts and transactions in QuickBooks.
