Professional Bookkeeping with QuickBooks Online with Payroll Practice and Management

This online professional bookkeeping course bundle covers all the essential areas of bookkeeping and payroll management. The key to overseeing a company's finances is knowing how to balance books, track finances, and administer pay—which this online bookkeeping and payroll course will help you understand. These responsibilities often fall to one professional who is well-versed in both disciplines for many small businesses today.

You will first learn how to utilize QuickBooks Online for everyday bookkeeping situations, such as running general ledger reports, working with the chart of accounts, and managing inventory. Next, your online bookkeeping and payroll course will put all those principles into practice, entering and tracking your finances while having all the advantages of computing in the cloud so that your files will be available to you virtually anytime, anywhere.

The professional bookkeeping training helps you learn the principles of payroll management. Payroll practice and management provides a foundation for classifying workers, calculating overtime pay, and overseeing payroll functions. There is more to payroll than calculating gross wages, though—you will also learn to manage year-end forms, which rely on your bookkeeping skills.

Once you complete this payroll and bookkeeping certification course, you will understand how to manage your finances and be prepared for the QuickBooks Certified User (QBCU) exam. You will also be ready to pass the Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) exam offered by the PayrollOrg.
