This QuickBooks tutorial was amazing! It was so helpful and made everything so clear. I've been struggling with QuickBooks for a while, but this tutorial made it all click. Thank you so much for putting it together!
You ROCK! This is hands down..THE BEST monthly bookkeeping tutorial I have watched. I did some things right other stuff I got clarity on: categories and bank rules! I now understand WHY they are so important. Also creating an excel spreadsheet to import data and let QBO do the work and I clarify a transaction, vs directly entering a transaction...game changer. Thank you for sharing and a new subbie!❤🦋

So clearly explained with a clear voice and accent. Love it. Thank you so much!
This was a GREAT video, thank you so much. I've used QB for a not for profit company and it was on the desktop last updated in 2010. So I've never used QB online. It has such great features. I love it!! Thank you again.
Thank you so much for taking the time. You are the only so far who has actually walked us thru QBO. May you always prosper

Thank you Hanna! This "How To" rather than a "What It Is" video is extremely helpful. Please keep making these How To videos with real world scenarios and examples.

please preach! the QBO Advisor training is excellent but generic. it served its purpose. The only way to learn is to do! And lets say thank you Clara for showing us how to actually "do" bookkeeping in real time. I practiced on MY books first and now Im more confident providing the service to others vs practicing on folks and messing their books up! 😮😅. I have QBOA and Im going to get certified for this year and fine tune my systems and processes and then market my services. It also helps me determine exactly what type of client I want to serve..
i absolutelly enjoyed watching your video again. thank you
Clara, I want to thank you so much for doing this training. I’m learning a lot from seeing step by step and then applying what I’ve learned. Sometimes you just need to see someone else do it to feel confident.❤

Hi Clara, superb tutorial. Very helpful indeed. Moreover, can you please give separate tutorial for 1099? It would would be a great help for us (bookkeeper). My clients are from the USA and I am their bookkeeper but I am leaving outside the USA. Please make a separate video for more detailed for 1099. What is 1099 and when to start tracking 1099 and other important notes about 1099. It would be a great help for us. Thank you

Hi Clara! Thank you so much for these videos. I'm wondering if recording historical transactions, would I need to input historical invoices/bills just to have on record?
Clara, I'm so pleased with your tutorial. We hired a bookkeeper, and she made a mess out of our books. The firm decided not to do business with us anymore, leaving me to fend for myself. I been going crazy looking at different videos. The worst is that now is tax season, and the new CPA tells me that nothing matches up. Once again thank you and I will continue to be a student of yours.
Very Helpful. Thank you, Clara. I just started bookkeeping and was having issues understanding while balances where different. but it was 4 months of transactions.

Thank you for this video. As an aspiring bookkeeper, this video has helped so much! You mentioned that every transaction should have documentation to back up sales or expenses. Is it best to upload/verify each document as back up during this work flow. How does one keep sufficient record in case of an audit? Could you make a video about this? Also, does this work flow only apply to cash basis: would an accrual basis have additional steps? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you again.
Great Video, just what I needed to know! Thank you for sharing.
