Teaching QuickBooks

Monday, June 14th, 2010

This is Cindy, and I have a question for those of you who are using QuickBooks.

If you could spend 60-90 minutes learning more about QuickBooks, what would you like to know? Sheryl and I are currently setting up some “learning experiences” for new and established QuickBooks users and we are running into a “brain block.” Because we use this program on a daily basis, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows as much about how the program works as we do. Rather than a formal classroom setting, I am thinking about some sort of roundtable discussion forum where we can share some tips and tricks. If this is something in which you might want to participate, drop us a line.

Scaling New Heights and Method Certification

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

This is Cindy and I get to add a new certification to my name! I passed the Level 1 Method Consultant Certification Exam that was given last week in Atlanta.  Fifty of us sat for the exam and those of us who passed are in the inaugural group of consultants for Method (www.methodintegration.com)  I get a new logo too!

Scaling New Heights was a fantastic opportunity for me to talk to software developers, other ProAdvisors, and vendors whose products integrate well with QuickBooks or offer an alternative for business reporting. The climb up Stone Mountain was hot (that is why I chose to take the cable car to the top!) but the view that day was beautiful. The laser light show (sponsored by Sage) was very enjoyable and the meal on the porch with a view of the monument was great (both the meal and the view).

Next step for me is to start working with people on Method and studying for the Level 2 certification in September!
