One of the top reasons business fail is inadequate records and financial knowledge. And, the old saying goes, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” In order to efficiently manage resources (money, energy, time, etc.), farm, business, and household managers need to measure and record information about their finances, operations, and activities. One popular computer-based tool used to measure and manage financial resources is QuickBooks®.
In order to teach people how they can use QuickBooks® to manage their businesses more efficiently, Kelly Dyer, Manager of Business Applications with the Small Business and Technology Development Center at the University of Central Missouri, will be offering a QuickBooks® for Beginners class on February18 and a Advanced QuickBooks class on February 25, 2015 from 9:00a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Bates County MU Extension Center located at 1 N. Delaware St., Butler, MO 64730, SE Corner of Courthouse.
The training being offered on February 18 is designed for beginners. This hands-on class will teach participants the basics about QuickBooks®. During the class, participants will learn how to set up a company, set up a chart of accounts, navigate through QuickBooks®, write checks, enter sales correctly, enter and pay bills and much, much more. It is important for a business owner to work on their business, not just in their business.
The Advanced QuickBooks class on February 25 is designed for people that have used QuickBooks awhile and have not taken it beyond the basics. The flexible agenda in this class allows participants to bring their questions and problems with QuickBooks to class. Participants will learn how to set up loans and fixed asset details, customize forms and add customized fields, reconcile bank and credit card statements, and much more.
To register for the class or for more information, call the Bates County MU Extension Center at 660-679-4167. There is a fee of $69 for each of the trainings that will go toward covering the costs associated with conducting the class. Class size is limited to 10 people, so please register prior to the day of the training.
