What to expect from our QBO Foundations Course

Why we created the QBO Foundations Course

We, at the Barklee Institute, strongly believe that entrepreneurship is something to be celebrated and encouraged. Whether you start your business because you are a busy mom and want to be able to spend more time with your kids, or because you have a passion for being your own boss, it is exciting to run your own company. But, we also understand that the fun part of small business ownership is the actual business not the financial record keeping. However, if you have just started your business, hiring an accountant or controller might be a bit out of budget. That is where the Barklee Institute’s QuickBooks Online (QBO) Foundations Course comes into play.

The Purpose for the QBO Foundations Course

This course is for the small business owner. It is for the mompreneurs, and dadpreneurs who rather be with their families and making their products over sitting at a computer struggling to input daily transactions into their financial records. This course is there for small business owners to feel confident that they are financially aware and that their records are accurate. Take a deep breath, do not stress about being able to afford an account, learn how to accurately keep your financial records up to date with the QBO Foundations Course.
