What is QuickBooks?
QuickBooks is a small business accounting software program businesses use to manage income and expenses
and keep track of the financial health of their business. It is used to invoice customers, pay bills, generate
reports, and prepare for taxes. While QuickBooks is marketed to the business owner as an out-of-the-box
accounting solution, the complexity of the software makes training advantageous.
