Thank you for making this video. I already given QuickBooks online and desktop exam and i have certification for both the exam. Can you let me know that is i am eligible to file my T4 tax return from pro advisor id? Can you help me in that? I am currently a 19 years old student. It will be very helpful☺️
Are you in the U.S.? I'm not familiar with that tax return, and I haven't heard of using your proadvisor info on taxes. You could double check with a tax preparer in your area to be sure, but I feel like the answer will be no.
Do you know anything about the QBCU certification? It is a test I can take through my college class but it costs extra. Didn't know if it was worth the $$ or if should i just study for the Proadvisor one.
Best advice for getting started as a bookkeeper I have found...the internet is full of sites that want to charge hundreds of dollars for this...thank you so much!!! ✌
I just completed the QuikBooks Online Accountant Training and am now studying QuickBooks Online to become a certified ProAdvisor. I am also studying Intuit's Certified Bookkeeper Professional Course on Coursera to get certified on this, too. I have my own Accounting Firm and am a Tax Preparer, too. I'm also studying for the IRS SEE exam to become a licensed Enrolled Agent. I'm kind of nervous about doing Bookkeeping right now because I am new to the field. I am a teacher and am doing my career switcher thing.
Wow. I am also a teacher and looking for my exit. I started the Quick book Certification, ProAdvisor, and Intuit Taxes course.. i will look into the other license you mentioned to be an EA. Thus far , I am enjoying the learning..
This was really great! Thanks for walking us through this. I'm planning on taking bookkeeping through our local university/online and your videos have me eager and quite excited. Single mom of a teenager here, making a change!

Hi FinePoints, i am ACCA chartered accountant and a Ghanaian, thanks for this wonderful video. I want to start my online booking business and have to learn Quickbooks. I try taken the Quickbooks pro advisor course but my country is excluded, can you advice me as to how to register for the Quickbooks pro advisor course.

Hi! I'm just wondering, is it really possible to get a bookeeper job after completing free online courses without having any other accounting education?
Hi! There aren't rules about what education you need as a bookkeeper, so if you know what you're doing it's possible to get hired. But, to your point, just this certification alone probably isn't enough to jump in and start working with clients. Here's a vid about how to get experience: th-cam.com/video/VsiF8cJFOEU/w-d-xo.html Also this one, "work for free" th-cam.com/video/C3eOUU3S1Z8/w-d-xo.html
I struggled too. As Morgan said, a lot of the free training is reading, and I am not a good reader. I know there are a lot of us out there, which is one of the main reasons I created my video-based course. If you need help, Morgan's affiliate link and discount code are in the description above.

Hey Morgan, I recently graduated college with an accounting degree. I have been really interested in starting a bookkeeping business on the side. Would you still recommend to complete the bookkeeper launch program? Or do you think quickbooks pro advisor, your course, and my education be enough to be a successful bookeeper? Thanks!
Hmm, good question. That probably depends on your goals & personality. I was a bookkeeper for many years without Bookkeeper Launch (I took a community college course and was somewhat self-taught and got on-the-job experience). So, your education will already set you up in a big way. But, if you're looking for training that is all-encompassing and helps you start your business, learn QB, work with clients and has a community to ask questions (and email help) then you may want to invest in Bookkeeper Launch. Here are a couple videos with more info if you haven't seen them: Decision tree chart: th-cam.com/video/IyZvsc0gavM/w-d-xo.html Which training to do first: th-cam.com/video/69bi_ndgDtg/w-d-xo.html Bookkeeper Launch free series: sk293.isrefer.com/go/BLFS/ML82/
So, I'm currently a truck driver. Been driving for 10 years. Looking to do something on the side and possibly change careers. I have no degrees aside from my high school. I'm curious to see where I should start with bookkeeping to see if this would be something to support my family and I. What should I be trying to gather/aquire before jumping into starting my own bookkeeping business?

I do not know whether there is a ProAdvisor certification in India. I did recently learn, however, that you have to pay for your QBO Accountant account. It's not free like it is here in the US.
"We're sorry, we can't find the page you requested." That's what I get when I sign in. I use QuickBooks for my home building business but would like to get certified. I tried switching to accountant view and I get the same thing.
Does the accountant version of QB have an app? When logged into the app with my accountant log in, I don’t see an option for clients, etc like from the web browser. Im currently still doing training and don’t have an clients In my account. Thanks!!
I am in the proadvisor training section and the QB Online Certification I see only has 3 modules not 8. Is there somewhere else I should be to see the 8 modules?
Hi Angela! QBO recently redid their ProAdvisor modules and certification so it will look a little different from when Morgan posted this video. Morgan is in the process of creating an updated video for the new ProAdvisor certification. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Unfortunately, this is not offered in every country. If your country is able to access and use QBO Accountant, you can find the training there. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hey! Setting up a QB Accountant account is free and you will also receive a free QBO account with it. Your clients will need to buy subscriptions to QBO and you can link them to your QB Accountant account. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hey! We are sorry to hear you are having trouble accessing the QBO ProAdvisor certification. Maybe QBO was having some tech issues when you were trying to sign up. Have you tried again today? Were you able to get in? Krista (FinePoints Admin)
@@FinePointsBookkeeping I THINK the certification itself is free, but you have to purchase the Desktop version of the software. They recently discontinued the Advanced level Desktop certification and now only have the one. I think Intuit is trying really hard to get people off of Desktop and onto QBO.
hi , Can individuals residing in Morocco pursue QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification? Additionally, is it possible to work remotely as a QuickBooks ProAdvisor from Morocco?
I think I may be in the wrong spot. My certification shows 10 modules and about 20 hours of training. I'm under pro advisor, training, QuickBooks Online
Hi Nicole, QBO recently updated their ProAdvisor training and certification course, so it will look a little different from when Morgan made this video. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
When signing up for QBOA, can a personal email address be used and changed later or do you have to create a business email address? (same idea as your company name can be changed later)
It's easier if you have your business email address. You can change it later by calling Intuit, but not as easy to change as the company name. Good question!
Do u need to take this prosdviser test if you don’t want a business but just to make your resume look good? So u can apply to work with companies offering book keeping. Pls respond ❤
Hey! Morgan thinks getting the ProAdvisor certification is a great way to build your resume when looking for a bookkeeping job. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
The free certification is only available in certain countries, so you'll need to check if it's available where you are in the world -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
Hi! Yes, unfortunately, the free ProAdvisor certification is not accessible world wide. There is a list on their website of the countries that have access. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I've been using QB Desktop since 2014, now have Accountant 2021 desktop. Do I have to pay for QBO if I just want ProAdvisor/ certification. I know I can "buy" QB Desktop certification which includes software AND an annual fee... what are my options so I'm not paying for something I already have? Thanks for your VERY informative videos!!
Great question! If you sign up for the Online Accountant version of QuickBooks, it's free for you. You would just pay for any clients you add to it. So no need to pay, we recommend you register your account and then you can take the ProAdvisor certification from there. -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
Good day... I am in Canada and followed your instructions but the courses coming up are neither of these. The headings are Quickbooks Online Product Training - QuickBooks Desktop Migration - Introduction to QuickBooks Online Accountant - QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor Certification - QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor Advanced Certification ... Then it goes into "Specialty Courses". Do you know what is equivalent to what you are referring to?

Hi! Brand new. Friend asked me if I’d like to learn quickbooks to help with their business. My first time doing anything financial. Help please 😊
Hi
I am from India
I am eligible for QuickBooks pro advisor certification??
I do not know whether there is a ProAdvisor certification in India. I did recently learn, however, that you have to pay for your QBO Accountant account. It's not free like it is here in the US.
"We're sorry, we can't find the page you requested." That's what I get when I sign in. I use QuickBooks for my home building business but would like to get certified. I tried switching to accountant view and I get the same thing.
Hi! You will need to make a new account under QBO Accountant. It's a separate account from your QBO account.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Tried to sign up. Says my email already has an account, so I signed in. Now there are no options to do advisor program.
Hey! Did you sign up through QuickBooks Online Accountant?
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I see this video is two years old. To your knowledge has there been any major changes since you made this video? 😊
Does the accountant version of QB have an app? When logged into the app with my accountant log in, I don’t see an option for clients, etc like from the web browser. Im currently still doing training and don’t have an clients In my account. Thanks!!
I am in the proadvisor training section and the QB Online Certification I see only has 3 modules not 8. Is there somewhere else I should be to see the 8 modules?
Hi Angela! QBO recently redid their ProAdvisor modules and certification so it will look a little different from when Morgan posted this video. Morgan is in the process of creating an updated video for the new ProAdvisor certification.

How to signup from India
Unfortunately, this is not offered in every country. If your country is able to access and use QBO Accountant, you can find the training there.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hello Morgan, I just came across your page. I have a question, so the setting up QB accountant is free or do we have to buy a plan?
Hey! Setting up a QB Accountant account is free and you will also receive a free QBO account with it. Your clients will need to buy subscriptions to QBO and you can link them to your QB Accountant account.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
is it still free? I looks like there is a cost now@@FinePointsBookkeeping
Do you know: Is it okay to use the same Intuit account I use for my taxes or should I start a separate account for training purposes?
You can use the same account!
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Do you have to pay for quickbooks to get the free training?
No, the ProAdvisor training and certification is free in QBO Accountant!
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
@@FinePointsBookkeeping whenever I try to put my email in it asks me for me to buy QuickBooks
I have been trying to sign up for this since but it keeps saying “account services unavailable, please try back later”
Hey! We are sorry to hear you are having trouble accessing the QBO ProAdvisor certification. Maybe QBO was having some tech issues when you were trying to sign up. Have you tried again today? Were you able to get in?
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Is there a certification for quickbooks desktop?
There is! I don't have a tutorial on that, but it is an option. I don't think it's free though (I'm not up to date on the specifics of that one).
@@FinePointsBookkeeping I THINK the certification itself is free, but you have to purchase the Desktop version of the software. They recently discontinued the Advanced level Desktop certification and now only have the one. I think Intuit is trying really hard to get people off of Desktop and onto QBO.
I think It's only for Americans, I tried but it doesn't work . It requires an American or Canadian phone number to sign in
What country do you live in? I've heard there is 5 countries currently and they are expanding it every year.
I'm from Algeria
I don't think it's available there--possibly you could research and find something similar.
I am from africa uganda and my quickbooks website saying the proadvisor is only for US. Someone help pls
Hi! Unfortunately, the QBO ProAdvisor training and certification is only offered is select countries.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
hi , Can individuals residing in Morocco pursue QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification? Additionally, is it possible to work remotely as a QuickBooks ProAdvisor from Morocco?
I think I may be in the wrong spot. My certification shows 10 modules and about 20 hours of training. I'm under pro advisor, training, QuickBooks Online
Hi Nicole,
QBO recently updated their ProAdvisor training and certification course, so it will look a little different from when Morgan made this video.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
When signing up for QBOA, can a personal email address be used and changed later or do you have to create a business email address? (same idea as your company name can be changed later)
It's easier if you have your business email address. You can change it later by calling Intuit, but not as easy to change as the company name. Good question!
@@FinePointsBookkeeping Thanks for your reply :) I'm loving your content!
This is probably a stupid question but is quick books online accountant different than regular quick books?
Yes, it's specifically for bookkeepers :) -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
You are doing great job
Do u need to take this prosdviser test if you don’t want a business but just to make your resume look good? So u can apply to work with companies offering book keeping. Pls respond ❤
Hey! Morgan thinks getting the ProAdvisor certification is a great way to build your resume when looking for a bookkeeping job.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Does this work globally or it works for only US based accountants
The free certification is only available in certain countries, so you'll need to check if it's available where you are in the world -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
I have one problem. If you are in the Caribbean there is no way I can signup for the account.
Hi! Yes, unfortunately, the free ProAdvisor certification is not accessible world wide. There is a list on their website of the countries that have access.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
@@FinePointsBookkeeping Okay completely understand. Thanks for your assistance.
I've been using QB Desktop since 2014, now have Accountant 2021 desktop. Do I have to pay for QBO if I just want ProAdvisor/ certification. I know I can "buy" QB Desktop certification which includes software AND an annual fee... what are my options so I'm not paying for something I already have? Thanks for your VERY informative videos!!
Great question! If you sign up for the Online Accountant version of QuickBooks, it's free for you. You would just pay for any clients you add to it. So no need to pay, we recommend you register your account and then you can take the ProAdvisor certification from there. -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
Passed it my 2nd time 😌😁😂
Nice work! Any advice? 😍
Wahoo!!! 🎉
Yes
Good day... I am in Canada and followed your instructions but the courses coming up are neither of these. The headings are Quickbooks Online Product Training - QuickBooks Desktop Migration - Introduction to QuickBooks Online Accountant - QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor Certification - QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor Advanced Certification ... Then it goes into "Specialty Courses". Do you know what is equivalent to what you are referring to?
Hi! Thanks for reaching out to ask. The course you want to take is the QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor Certification.

Hi i'm working as a bookkeeper for 3 years. Do you provide any opportunities to work with you?
Thanks in advance.
Hi! I'm not hiring at the moment, but may at some point in the future. I'll likely communicate that to my TH-cam subscribers and email list.
@@FinePointsBookkeeping Thanks for your reply. I'll love to get an opportunity to work with you. Please let me know if you start the process of hiring. Thanks.
Is there a time limit for the free Quickbooks Online Accountant account? How long can I access it before it starts asking for payment? Thanks!
It's always free! You do have to pay for each client
I tried to create new account on Quickbooks pro advosir acccountant and this message pops up “the feature you've requested is temporarily unavailable.” I called the quickbooks CS, they told me to buy the subscription for $100. I thought it’s free to create new account.
@@FinePointsBookkeeping Ohh I see, thank you so much! I appreciate the response. :) I'll be sure to keep watching your videos, they are helpful.
Hi Morgan, I found that your $20 off coupon link wasn’t working. It was the same price as going to her site. (Margie’s course)
Hi Jana! Thanks for trying to use my coupon. :) I just tried it and I was able to see the $20 com off the price. You need to put in "finepoints" where it says coupon code... make sure finepoints is one word with no spaces, capitalization or quotations. If it still doesn't work, email my assistant and she'll help you out! hello.finepoints@gmail.com
Were you able to figure this out, Jana? If not, let me know (shoot me an email at hello.finepoints@gmail.com), and I'll help you out. -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
Thank you so much!!
Hi Morgan, Thanks for your wonderful tutorial. Please reply to me "Is it mandatory to achieve a certificate to start QuickBooks online bookkeeping career initially? I have 24 yrs experience in the Accounting profession. I must want to be a pro advisor certified. But without a QBS certificate can I be an eligible bookkeeper initially?
A certification adds to your credibility, but you don't need one to officially start :) -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
@@FinePointsBookkeeping Thanks a lot
🎉 thank you
Does this still work? When I try to sign up it tells me that they are working on a problem
It should! There may be a technical glitch on their side. Maybe reach out to their help desk? -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
