Overview
This online 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. These responsibilities may fall to one professional 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, managing inventory. You will then 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. You will then learn the principles of payroll management. Payroll Practice and Management provides a foundation for classifying workers, calculating overtime pay, and overseeing payroll functions. But there is more to payroll than calculating gross wages-you will also learn to manage year-end forms, which rely on your bookkeeping skills.
Once you complete this course, you will understand how to get your finances in order and be prepared for the QuickBooks Certified User Exam. You will also be ready to pass the Fundamental Payroll Certification exam, developed by the PayrollOrg. The voucher covers the cost to sit for the QuickBooks Certified User certification exam upon eligibility. A voucher for the FPC exam is not included.
