They wait until they have a client to learn the software. Here's why that's a problem: The first time you open QuickBooks with someone else's money on the line is not the time to figure out where the Chart of Accounts lives. Set up a practice company BEFORE you have a client. Today. It's free. It takes about 10 minutes. And it is one of the single most valuable things you can do to build confidence before your first real client. Here's what to do in your practice company: — Set up a Chart of Accounts from scratch — Enter 10 fake transactions and categorize them — Reconcile a pretend bank account — Run a Profit & Loss report Do those four things once and QuickBooks will never feel scary again. 💛 Have you set up your QBO practice company yet?
