QuickBooks for Farmers and Growers

This is a beginner level class is for farm bookkeepers who want to improve financial record keeping, figure out whether QuickBooks software is a good fit for their business, or enhance their QuickBooks skills. In this 4-part series, you will learn how to set up and use QuickBooks from the ground up. The course covers:
  • Basic accounting concepts and reports
  • How to set up a Chart of Accounts to fit your farm operation
  • Invoicing and Cash Receipts
  • Recording and Paying Purchases and Expenses
  • Reconciling Accounts
  • Production and Analysis of Financial Statements
The class takes place in a small group setting, allowing plenty of time for interaction and questions. We provide hands-on learning so students can practice the skills that we demonstrate. Our instructors pay special attention to issues facing farm businesses, and use examples that are relevant to agriculture.

This class covers the desktop version of QuickBooks. We provide laptops with QuickBooks 2018 if you do not have one. (Sorry, no Apple or Cloud versions allowed.)

After completing the course, students may schedule a free individual follow-up session with a CCE educator or a volunteer mentor through the SCORE business network.
