Part 3 progress report: I completed the Introduction to QuickBooks Online for Accountants! From 74% completion point to 100% completed training modules of the course, it took me 1.75 hours. Overall summation of the Intro to QuickBooks Online for Accountants course: very informational and a "must-need-to-know." If you are familiar with QuickBooks Online, then you can skim/skip the stuff. But if you are new, like me, then this will help you big time in your next challenge of getting the QuickBooks Online Certification. Great share FinePoints, thank you! I will keep continuing my self-paced study of the QuickBooks Online as I want to become a Bookkeeper.
Finepoints, this is like a sign from heaven today finding this video ! Im so grateful I camen across your channel! God bless you. I am so interested in starting my own bookkeeping business. Being jobless since April, and I believe things happen for a reason. I always wanted to be a CPA, be my own boss, run my own business but things happen and I quit school. What I didnt know about us freelance bookkeeping and now I know this is what I want to do and will do! Amen! I am going to watch all your videos today! I want to know, where you got all your knowledge, this will help me tremendously! Thank you ! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy you've found my videos helpful. If you think it would be helpful, definitely check out my class that's open just until the end of this week. Best of luck and feel free to give me any suggestions for future videos you'd like to see!
im an accounting graduate with 4years of experience in corporate world. Thinking of starting to be a bookeeper, and your videos help a lot for me to start my baby steps. To be honest Im nervous, because I dont have in depth experience in handling bookeeping or taxation. I believe the first move is the hardest part, and I need to overcome it.
You are the best! So much information out there! You are the real thing! There are other "professionals" on TH-cam trying to promote their business "How to Start Bookkeeping Business", literally it's all about charging very high price for their "so call knowledge". I appreciate and respect what you are doing and offering for someone like me, who doesn't have a lot of money to invest in a bookkeeping business. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I'm graduating next year with my BA in accounting and no entry level job will hire me because I have no experience, which is dumb. Hopefully getting certified will help 👏
I think the first job is always one of the hardest to get. Good luck! I have a video on getting clients and how much to charge (where I talk about being an independent contractor) that may help you if you haven't seem them yet. Compiled here: finepoints.teachable.com/p/free-start-bookkeeping
Thank you, Morgan, you are a BIG help for me, I am a former Aircraft Mechanic who worked in the Middle East for 20 years and I am looking for a SIDE hustle, I am interested in Bookkeeping course and I found ALL your videos helpful for me. Thanks a lot, APPRECIATE your dedication and sacrifice, your FAN from The Philippines.
Thank you so much for this!! I found your account a few weeks ago and I love all your videos. You are basically walking me through the whole process of starting my own bookkeeping business, so THANK YOU!!
how do you get to this if you don't have a business you work for who uses it? I would like to get the certification since I have used it in college however now being out of college i cannot get to the quizzes. I would like to update my resume to find a booking job since this is in my field of study however.
I love u! LOL! I Moved in US 2 years ago, i'm experienced accountant in my country and it's really too hard for me now to find a entry level job bookkeeping or entry level accounting. I hope this certification will help me for getting at least an interview. :) Thank you so much! Great videos by the way!
Part 2 progress report: I am 74% of the way in Intro to Quickbooks online for accountants. I spent 1.5 hours doing the following module lesson chapters: Expenses and vendors chapter and banking chapter. These two module chapters primarily focus on navigating quickbooks online (QBO) account. In terms of these 2 chapters being relevant to bookkeeping, I say not so much. They just focus on training you how to use QBO account. However, they do explain very basic terminology. Overall, these two chapters were worth going through (considering I knew nothing of about them). Again, if you have online banking and you know how to navigate it pretty darn well, I find it very similar in that way and helped me understand the content of the 2 chapters. I will keep you apprised of my progress.
FinePoints Hi! Love this channel, I just found it when doing research in bookkeeping and you have been a godsend! Quick question, before you started did you work as a bookkeeper before and/or do you have a degree in accounting (either bachelors or associate)?
Morgan I am doing bookkeeping and administration for a start up Real Estate Company. My friend who I have known for a long time wants me to handle all. I got thrown into Quickbooks which I feel I am inside working out, lol. Skip the basics and just dig in. I appreciate your videos. Ive learned everything but QB's. I have to admit im struggling. Hoping to really dive into some training as per your advice. Thank you. I think it's your presentation, gives me the courage to keep going. One day in the near future I will add new clients. Need to get proficient in QB's first.
Are you interested in becoming a ProAdvisor--or you already one? Edit: if you're having tech problems, more info below... Here's a video on the exam: th-cam.com/video/WsqNuRzTPDQ/w-d-xo.html If you can't see training, first try a new browser (maybe Firefox). You can always call Intuit with issues. To see if Proadvisor training is available in your country, I found these steps in a help forum: To check if QuickBooks offers the training on your country: Go to this link: quickbooks.intuit.com/. Scroll down and at the bottom of the page, choose your country from the Select a Country drop-down. Hover your mouse on the Accountants & Bookkeepers tab at the top mid of the page. You'll see ProAdvisor Portal or Training from the drop-down.
My client uses remote access desktop version, I'm currently studying for that certification. It needs to be taken in-person at a proctored facility as far as I know though.
First and foremost how do I thank you. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I followed step by step and signing up was super easy. I didn't have a account firm so I just put any name, they will accept it. The modules are longer now (Feb 2021) in hours 12.5 hr. I really appreciate it so much. Will update when I get my certificate. You have a new subbie. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much for making this video! This is what youtube is all about people helping others. Very easy-to-follow video and I was able to get to exactly what I needed THE TRAINING! Very excited to get started.
hi! I signed up for free with my student credentials but I have no info to start practicing… please where can I find sample company’s info? … and I didn’t see the option to tale those test certifications in my account.. is there any specific type of account that I should have to be able to see those trainings and certifications? thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for these videos . I have just found you and am so ampt to watch all of them as I start by bookkeeping biz too. thank you again and God bless. Wow thanks so much. You are clear and precise at what needs to be done . very practical too because I find going through the traditional college route is money and time wasting and colleges are often not hands on and practical . I needed something this realistic . Thank you Morgan.
Hi Morgan, this is very helpful. I have a degree in Accounting Technology but no experience at all. I graduated two years ago, currently employed in a different field lol but now I decided to pursue accounting and use my degree so this really help me a lot, at least I can have certificate that I can show to my possible client in the future. Sending virtual hugs 🤗
I am a management accounting graduate 8 years ago but i did not work. I jump into managing my business. But now i decided to work online as a freelance bookkeeper.
Thanks for the direction to obtain the QB ProAdvisor training. That was very good and helpful. Unfortunately, the actual training itself is horrible. Can one really do the training in 7.5 hrs, then pass the exam? Maybe if you are extremely good at memorizing software use pathways. That seems to be what the ProAdvisor exam is after. We really appreciate your advice for arriving at the training. This isn't your fault. But we are extremely disappointed in the QB program. We tend to learn by using a program, not reading how to use it in a tutorial or manual, then taking an exam. The training makes you do that, and the examples use outdated formats. We will continue to plug away at it, but it's going to take many times longer then 7.5 hours. Maybe more like 7.5 months! Maybe that's why it's free! Thinking about looking into Xero. Maybe it is better. We are incredibly disappointed with QB right now.
I'm sorry it wasn't helpful for you! I know what you mean about memorizing software pathways... I do find that there is somewhat of a steep learning curve to QBO, but then it gets much easier (start small with just the functions you need). Are you a bookkeeper, or looking to learn QB for your own business? I know people do like Xero, but I haven't used it personally. Hope you find what works best for you!

Do you recommend waiting until you have your business set up to get started? I want to sign-up but haven't even come up with a name for my business yet.
I have been interested in bookkeeping and how to get "educated in the field" without paying an arm and a leg. Got Quickbooks online accountant account set-up. I am a total newbie in this field (was in the food service and looking to transition away from food because of celiac disorder). Began the training: Intro to Quickbooks online for accountants. I am 44% of the way, took me about 4 hours. Gotta keep in mind, I am totally new to this entire field (my previous food experience helped a wee bit in understanding but most of the content was new). I will keep ya'll posted. So far, once you learn how to navigate their web-page/dashboard, it is easy to understand what the training is trying to teach you.
Hello! I’m looking to become a bookkeeper. I have no experience other than keeping books for my Husband’s business in QB. Where would someone like me get started with training? Would Quickbooks Accountant be a good place to start? I know nothing but want to learn. You’re videos are great!
I’d like to see a video on pricing for clients I find that setting hourly rates is a bit confusing but having a set rate depending on company size or transactions would be better. I don’t have any clients yet I see job postings for in-house bookkeeper for about 40,000 a year, can we surpass this amount working for ourselves?
Okay, got it! I agree, it is confusing. I do think that you can surpass 40K/year... in-house bookkeepers usually make a much lower hourly rate then you can charge as a contractor with experience.
I’m interested in starting Bookkeeping. I realized you said you have been a Bookkeeper for 5+ years. Were you always your own boss or did you start out working for a company as a Bookkeeper then became a freelance Bookkeeper?
Hi Stephanie,one thing you must understand that is,you have the knowledge to do any work.In Accounting,you have to go through many experiences,that will increase your confidence..I have more than 8 years experience in Accounting,Book keeping and taxation but no experience for foreign accounting..We can start together,share our experiences,if you want..
Excellent information. I really appreciate people who take their time to make videos for helping others. I wanted to ask you: Is this enough for somebody to start as a bookkeeper in Canada for a company or self-employed? If not, what else would be necessary? Thank you
Hi Morgan. Thank you for what you do for others for free. Especially in times like this. I want to do the free proadviser certification. I tried to sign up at the link you provided, But QBO asked to buy the monthly package first, lowest one is around 12$. Do I have to buy the package in order to take the free certification test?
@@kellyk104 hi! I signed up for free with my student credentials but I have no info to start practicing… please where can I find sample company’s info? … and I didn’t see the option to tale those test certifications in my account.. is there any specific type of account that I should have to be able to see those trainings and certifications? thanks in advance!

Hi Morgan! Thank you for your helpful videos. When I click on Training, I don't see what you see on your screen. Mine just goes to a blank screen. Do you have to rack up points to unlock the training?
Generally, it teaches you the Quickbooks system not the bookkeeping course. That’s why after the advanced certification, it entitles you to promote Quickbook and become an advisor.
Hi! Are you located in the U.S.? If yes, will you email me with more info/screenshot? I want to see if I can find the solution to this. morganfinepoints@gmail.com
To start an account do you have to already be employed as a bookkeeper? I tried to make an account, and it asked for the name of a firm and other information.
May I ask that if you have to pay/ buy a quickbook package to sign up? I am little confused, when I tried to sign up for free certification, it asked me to buy the QBO monthly package first. TIA

This is such a great resource, thank you for sharing! I have signed up for QBOA to take the online certification, but I feel like this is for those who are currently bookkeepers or have some type of background? I dont have background knowledge and am just looking at changing careers and starting my own bookkeeping virtual business. Where would I go to learn all the basics before starting this course (the lingo, definitions, explanations etc.) Thanks!
Hi. I'm subscribed. Watching all your videos. Only just got my level one. Can't believe all this time I could of been learning all this stuff, I was busy playing xbox lol 😂 I just never thought to do book keeping untill I starting reading lots of bussiness books.
Hello, excellent information. Thank you so much. I am from India, looking to become a freelancer. It's helpful for me. I have good experience of e-bookkeeping in India.
Excellent video with a lot of useful information! Thank you so much! QB will ask your company name when you sign up. So what happen if I don't have a company yet?

hello, I am trying to access the quickbooks accounting page but am always automatically directed to my personal nonprofit page which i do the books for, so it does not have the correct tabs and links on the page. help please? thanks.
Im not allowed to create an account because its asking me the name of my accounting firm but i don't work at an accounting firm; I just want to take the proadvisor class. Help?
I’m so happy I found your channel! I’m attempting to start a business on my own with no bookkeeping experience and this gives me a lot of motivation and guidance. For some reason, when I click on the training tab, it’s blank. Is it because I’m on my phone or do I need to pay for an account?
Hi Brandon! Morgan recommends accessing the training on a computer. She has never tried doing it on a phone, so that might be the issue. Krista (FinePoints Admin)

Your videos are very helpful to me to learn more thank you so much
Hey! Yes, the free QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor training and certification is still valid today. You will want to sign up for the free QBO Accountant account. Here is a video where Morgan walks you through the steps: th-cam.com/video/xKcCrN5Sn-E/w-d-xo.html Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I just have to get training for our small business. We recently lost our office manager and I'm stepping into the bookkeeper role blindly. I'm a dance instructor, not a bookkeeper, haha! We use QBO, and I have no idea where to start 😫

Hello! I’m looking to become a bookkeeper. I have no experience other than keeping books for my Husband’s business in QB. Where would someone like me get started with training? Would Quickbooks Accountant be a good place to start? I know nothing but want to learn. You’re videos are great!
Awesome! Yes, I'd start with this free certification. Did you decide to get started? :)
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the videos you make to help others out.
Thanks so much. 💗
I’d like to see a video on pricing for clients I find that setting hourly rates is a bit confusing but having a set rate depending on company size or transactions would be better. I don’t have any clients yet I see job postings for in-house bookkeeper for about 40,000 a year, can we surpass this amount working for ourselves?
Okay, got it! I agree, it is confusing. I do think that you can surpass 40K/year... in-house bookkeepers usually make a much lower hourly rate then you can charge as a contractor with experience.
Captivating Credit Hi! Question. Right now do you have clients? If you do, after how many weeks you got your first client?
Thanks for this. I recently wanted to become a bookkeeper to get a better job! Thanks you so much! 😊
Glad you found this helpful!

I’m interested in starting Bookkeeping. I realized you said you have been a Bookkeeper for 5+ years. Were you always your own boss or did you start out working for a company as a Bookkeeper then became a freelance Bookkeeper?
Hi Stephanie,one thing you must understand that is,you have the knowledge to do any work.In Accounting,you have to go through many experiences,that will increase your confidence..I have more than 8 years experience in Accounting,Book keeping and taxation but no experience for foreign accounting..We can start together,share our experiences,if you want..
Thank you so much 👏... this really helped me and I finally feel like I’m on the right track.
Excellent information. I really appreciate people who take their time to make videos for helping others. I wanted to ask you: Is this enough for somebody to start as a bookkeeper in Canada for a company or self-employed? If not, what else would be necessary? Thank you
I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work.
Thank you! Will do!
Hi Morgan. Thank you for what you do for others for free. Especially in times like this. I want to do the free proadviser certification. I tried to sign up at the link you provided, But QBO asked to buy the monthly package first, lowest one is around 12$. Do I have to buy the package in order to take the free certification test?
Hi! I was able to sign up and log in today for free. Click on signing up on the QB Accountant Account.
@@kellyk104 Thank you !
@@kellyk104 hi! I signed up for free with my student credentials but I have no info to start practicing… please where can I find sample company’s info? … and I didn’t see the option to tale those test certifications in my account.. is there any specific type of account that I should have to be able to see those trainings and certifications? thanks in advance!
Thanks so much for this video. I had no idea if i had to pay to get started.

Hi Morgan! Thank you for your helpful videos. When I click on Training, I don't see what you see on your screen. Mine just goes to a blank screen. Do you have to rack up points to unlock the training?
Ensure that your using the Quickbooks US website. And once your there, just go to training and finish them so the “take exam” button will come out.
Love all your videos!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your so straight and to the point!
THANKS! That means a lot.
Does this actually Teach bookkeeping and certify you as a Bookkeeper or does it just certify you as a QuickBooks pro? Or are they one in the same?
Co ask
I'm wondering about it too, I hope she replies back.
Generally, it teaches you the Quickbooks system not the bookkeeping course. That’s why after the advanced certification, it entitles you to promote Quickbook and become an advisor.
@@MrDesertFoxChannel thank you 😊
@@TiffWun your welcome
Thank you for your info. Would like to see a video on the questions ask in the quickbook test.
Hi! I'll let Morgan know this is something you are interested in learning more about!

Hi when I try to log in to QuickBooks Accountant, it takes me to a page where I have to purchase QuickBooks and it looks nothing like your screen
Same
Hi! Are you located in the U.S.? If yes, will you email me with more info/screenshot? I want to see if I can find the solution to this. morganfinepoints@gmail.com
I always love your content. Keep it coming!
Thanks for the encouragement! Do you have a bookkeeping business?
FinePoint not yet. I would love to send you an email if that’s ok by you.
To start an account do you have to already be employed as a bookkeeper? I tried to make an account, and it asked for the name of a firm and other information.
Hi I can help you with it. If you want .. I know how to make one
@@jennybernardino2334 Can you also help me with this problem?
Hi, I am also having this same issue? Can you direct me to a solution? TY in advance
Thanks so much for your help, I signed up last night. I'm hoping this will help in my full time job and maybe retire early and go LLC!
May I ask that if you have to pay/ buy a quickbook package to sign up? I am little confused, when I tried to sign up for free certification, it asked me to buy the QBO monthly package first. TIA

👏 Just what I was looking for. Thank you
This is such a great resource, thank you for sharing! I have signed up for QBOA to take the online certification, but I feel like this is for those who are currently bookkeepers or have some type of background? I dont have background knowledge and am just looking at changing careers and starting my own bookkeeping virtual business. Where would I go to learn all the basics before starting this course (the lingo, definitions, explanations etc.) Thanks!

Im not allowed to create an account because its asking me the name of my accounting firm but i don't work at an accounting firm; I just want to take the proadvisor class. Help?
I’m so happy I found your channel! I’m attempting to start a business on my own with no bookkeeping experience and this gives me a lot of motivation and guidance.
For some reason, when I click on the training tab, it’s blank. Is it because I’m on my phone or do I need to pay for an account?
Hi Brandon! Morgan recommends accessing the training on a computer. She has never tried doing it on a phone, so that might be the issue.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
👏👏👏 thank you. I've been looking for direction on this.
Glad I could help!
👏🏼 I have been using QB self employment for a few years but am looking to use it the best way that I can and possibly open a business. Ty

Great video. If you're just starting out, is QB the way to go? I see a lot of Sage 50 in my job searches.
This means a lot to me especially being on point. Thank you. 👍
So glad!
thank you!!! I just signed up!!! Can't wait to get my certificate!!!!
may I ask what you put for "firm name" when creating an account? I don't have a business started yet and I don't know what to put
Wonderful!
Just make up a firm name, and you can change it later.

Is that site not working outside the US? Because i cannot sign up due to error in Firm Zip code.
Hey! It does not work in all countries. Morgan recommends googling what countries you can access QBO.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I feel so sad because they asking for a number outside of the Philippines which i cannot provide- btw i am graduated as Bookkeeper here in the Philippines and i am more interested yo purse more my course more than i learned from school which just limited- we do manually and not using Quickbooks( no idea about this website) so i am very interested. Your videos are very helpful to me to learn more thank you so much
Hi! ask ko lang po if nagawan nyo ng paraan?? haha thanks!
Hi Morgan, thanks for the Information. Is the webinar training free?
Is this still valid in 2024? All I can find is where you have to create an account but also pay for a membership...
Hey! Yes, the free QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor training and certification is still valid today. You will want to sign up for the free QBO Accountant account. Here is a video where Morgan walks you through the steps: th-cam.com/video/xKcCrN5Sn-E/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for the video. I'm not a bookkeeper but working towards it. Can I take the pro advisor exam NOT being a bookkeeper in business?
Sorry how could I skip the step of firm's info for log in? I am a student not working yet
I just have to get training for our small business. We recently lost our office manager and I'm stepping into the bookkeeper role blindly. I'm a dance instructor, not a bookkeeper, haha!
We use QBO, and I have no idea where to start 😫
Thanks, great job Morgan!
Thanks for watching!
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Yay! I'm glad. Are you a bookkeeper now?
Working on it. Taking some college courses and was looking to get going after I got more training with QB.
Cool! Good luck on your classes. Let me know if there are any specific vids you'd like to see.
