Practicing Reports and Problem-Solving in Sample file

mcoult45 · ‎April 23, 2020

Hey, does anyone know of any website or workbook that you can practice the more complex abilities of QuickBooks Online? I am in the middle of the modules of the Advanced Certification Course, but I don't just want to "learn for the exam", I really want to know these more advanced reports and problem-solving in the real world...so, I'd like some practice "homework" that I can maybe do on a weekly or even daily basis so that I'm not having to relearn this when those opportunities come my way for my clients.

Any suggestions? I appreciate you all!

Thanks for dropping by, @mcoult45.

Currently, we don't have an updated workbook that you can rely on to practice more complex scenarios in QBO. However, you can look for blog sites and other websites to look for an updated workbook. Also, I suggest visiting this page: QuickBooks Online Courses. There you can experience the best of our professional QuickBooks Online trainers.

Training resources are available before you take the advanced certification. In addition, you can test yourself with these unanswered posts: Unanswered questions. Professional Tax Advisors, Accountants, All-Stars (experienced QuickBooks professionals and accountants), QuickBooks Community, and experienced QuickBooks Online users gather to this site to help other users.

There you can practice yourself with your answers. Make sure to look for the product tagging before answering the question.

Just in case you want to try or test something in QBO, you can use our test drive: https://qbo.intuit.com/redir/testdrive.

Please let me know if you have more questions. I'll wait for your reply here. Stay safe and healthy!

Thank you SO much for your reply! That's a great suggestion for me to start at!

If I were the type to do it, I'd create some kind of interactive software that you could practice different scenarios over and over (not just answer questions...that's not my learning style) so people could become more proficient. Most of my clients don't even utilize some of the great aspects of QBO that are offered, or even have that level of QBO, so I can't even "practice" when I do their books.

Just like playing an instrument, a good musician will practice scales, chords, arpeggios, etc. and more difficult pieces before they "put themselves out there" for the public to hear, so it would be awesome if this vital part of bookkeeping (utilizing QBO's potential to the fullest) could be well-learned BEFORE we touch someone's books that may want better services other than regular bookkeeping.

Any takers??

I appreciate your willingness a lot, @mcoult45.

Right now, interactive software designed for training is unavailable. You might be interested in joining our online classes that cover handling difficult transactions, product-based (QBO) scenarios, workarounds on how to use QBO, and so much more. You can refer to this page: Upcoming QuickBooks Online Classes.

I'm always around to help assist you. Have a good one and more power!
