QuickBooks Pro Offered for Small Businesses

Award-winning QuickBooks financial management software gives you fast and easy tools to help you manage your business more effectively. The QuickBooks Pro training course is being offered in partnership with the Northwest Minnesota Foundation (NMF), the Small Business Development Center , and the Hubbard County Regional Economic Development Commission.

The workshop will be held in Bemidji at the Beltrami Electric Co-op Community Room on October 25 & 26, 2007, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The fee for this course is $200 and class size is limited to 12 persons. On line registration is also available.

QuickBooks is much more efficient than spreadsheets, word-processing or paper ledgers. You'll spend less time on bookkeeping activities and have more time to make effective management decisions. QuickBooks sample software will be provided to each paid registrant. Only computers with IBM compatible operating systems and software are used for the course.

You will learn how to quickly and easily manage basic tasks like printing checks, paying bills, generating reports, invoicing customers and tracking expenses. You will be able to organize information about your company, customers and vendors in one place so it's easy to find when you need it. You will look more professional with customized invoices, sales receipts and other business forms.

Instructor Michelle Landsverk will demonstrate the software program. She has been a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor since 2001. Landsverk's years of experience with QuickBooks as a small business owner brings the course past "book learning" and helps participants to apply the principles to everyday business management practices.
