brin_bellwayThe QuickBooks official training course has a very deeply ingrained assumption that you're the owner of an accounting firm and are looking to have your firm start using QuickBooks with its clients.
(No, it's not *just* because that link is to the version of QuickBooks aimed at accounting firms and not the general one. The general one doesn't *have* a training course, just a few tutorial videos on individual topics. This is the closest there is.
Besides, that still doesn't explain why you're assumed to be the owner and not an employee.)
This...seems like it would be much less common than my use-case of "new graduate hoping that having some QuickBooks training under her belt will help her bootstrap into her first career-field job". Do people *often* end up *running accounting firms* while being entirely ignorant of how to use QuickBooks?
Well, I'm sure there's *some* useful information buried in here even as someone who doesn't much like the thought of *ever* running a firm herself. And I'll be able to truthfully *say* that I'm officially QuickBooks trained, which in practice is probably the most valuable thing the course gives you.
