As a small business owner, managing the financial aspects of your business can be challenging which is why it is important to utilize tools such as accounting software. In this webinar, you will learn how accounting software can help you stay organized and grow your business, how to implement the software in your business, and whether it is right for you. We’ll focus on QuickBooks, the most popular accounting software, and explore features and demonstrate the ease of entering transactions and generating reports. However, we’ll also look at other online and offline software options as well.

The workshop will take place on Wednesday, June 30th at 6:00 pm Mountain Time.  This workshop will be delivered online utilizing the Zoom platform.  The workshop can be taken on computers and smartphones.
