    Hi. Loved your explanation on QB but how does it help me or how is it useful to me who doesn’t have my personal business but looking to learn this software to gain competitive advantage for future job search?



  2. sadia anwar on August 17, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    Hello, will this help me in passing the quickbook exam?

    This is fantastic. Thank you!!



  5. Angel Holloway on August 17, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    This is amazing! Thank you so much for all the information!



  6. Marjana Akter on August 17, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    No thank you I’m not watching this 4 hour video 🤣



  7. Lynn P on August 17, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    Thank you Cindy. I would like to know where can I find QuickBooks Pro (without any annual fee) for 1 user, I will use it for personal finance. Where can I buy it for $189 as you said on the video.



  8. Janaka Dissanayake on August 17, 2021 at 10:00 pm

    Great video! Do you have a video or course for the online version?



  9. amie cham on August 17, 2021 at 10:01 pm

    hi, can you send Statement of account, scheduled and automatically emailed to customer?



  10. Miami Metro on August 17, 2021 at 10:02 pm

    Will the information that I have from previous version be tranferred to the new version?



  11. McKinnon Toto Productions on August 17, 2021 at 10:04 pm

    I waited through 4 hours of tutorial to learn how to sync with my bank (which she says, at the beginning of the video, is covered) only to find out that they stop the lesson before she gets to that point. Sure, I understand that you’re selling your lessons, but if you are in the habit of telling me that I’m going to get something, and then after I’ve committed, you don’t follow through, then I have a hard time trusting anything your doing. I will say, with fairness, that I still found the 4 hour class valuable and informative.



  12. heidi merz on August 17, 2021 at 10:05 pm

    Section 2 – ok lets convert your QB to an online version (for what reason, at this moment, I have no idea). Now the file won’t work, I can’t open up the company I just spent all this time building. It converts it to an export file and it’s no longer accessible. It is asking for admin password. I don’t need an admin password, I’m the only person working on my desktop. I will go in and try to delete all the files and start over. So once you convert to an export file, you can no access the company any more, good to know.



  13. sedir sedir on August 17, 2021 at 10:09 pm

    Really grateful for your help



  14. kingdomhearts on August 17, 2021 at 10:11 pm

    I have a job interview with a company that uses this. Time to hope I can remember all of this in less then 24 hours.



  15. Victoria Sughroue on August 17, 2021 at 10:13 pm

    Wow! Thank you Cindy for explaining QB 2021 so well! I crinched when it said 4 hours but you made it go by pretty fast! Thank you again for taking the time putting this together.



  16. SAM on August 17, 2021 at 10:17 pm

    Hello Simon, Thank you for sharing this wonderful information! I have looked everywhere even on Quickbook Pro advisors and not one person has replied to me. I really need some assistance on a transaction I am trying to post. I have looked at many video and I have not found one as of yet that addresses what I am trying to do. Is there anyway you can please help me? I would be truly appreciative of your time and assistance.



  17. Mama Tina's on August 17, 2021 at 10:17 pm

    Hi Cindy, do you know if I can still buy the desktop version? today is June 14th 2021, if so please tell me where.
    And by the way thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are a life saver !



  18. Michael Wall on August 17, 2021 at 10:19 pm

    Where did you get your $189 QuickBooks for 1 person please?



  19. Korra and Asami Sato on August 17, 2021 at 10:19 pm

    is there a test to take so that we can get our certification?



  20. gi ta on August 17, 2021 at 10:20 pm

    Hello Cindy, where can I get desktop version for 1 user? Thank you!



  21. Mustansir Shabbar Choonawala on August 17, 2021 at 10:20 pm

    is there any accountant center in this version like older ones?



  22. Teri Hall on August 17, 2021 at 10:21 pm

    Thank you for this tutorial Cindy! You made it very easy to follow the "How Tos". Would you be so kind to provide the link to where the "Special Desktop version" you mentioned can be purchased? Thanks again! Teri



  23. Nicole Petersen on August 17, 2021 at 10:24 pm

    I can’t see to locate our Accounts Payable in our Chart of Accounts. I’m new at this program and may have missed something, but I searched for it and nothing comes up.



  24. LifeOfAdry on August 17, 2021 at 10:26 pm

    I live in the Cayman Islands where we do not pay taxes, how would I go about filling out the sections where we’re asked about the beginning/end of year tax returns or anything to do with taxes in general?



  25. Tom Knight on August 17, 2021 at 10:27 pm

    Where did you get the $189 version of the desktop Pro? I only need for 1 user. Trying to avoid paying too much, understanding I will need to upgrade before 2024. Thank you.



  26. Barbie Bruce on August 17, 2021 at 10:28 pm

    Thank you..



  27. Jaja Satorashi on August 17, 2021 at 10:29 pm

    The only problem here is that the quality of the video is too low I couldn’t watch it



  28. 1sexican on August 17, 2021 at 10:32 pm

    Hello, are there any options or a way to modify Multi currency on the desktop version for 2021. I saw an option on the Online version. NOTE* I still haven´t set up multi-currency, just wanted to find out what were the options. Thank you



  29. Dayana Jhonson on August 17, 2021 at 10:32 pm

    Hi, can I import bank data, customers, chart accounts, invoices and bills as the same as cloud version ?thank you



  30. Connie Dodson on August 17, 2021 at 10:32 pm

    The videos are really great. I’m having a little trouble with the accounts part. How should I enter expenses that were made by me from cash, before I had a bank account for the business? How do I reflect paying that back from the business to self, or do I reflect it as assets even though some of it was food stock?



  31. Tahisha Wilson on August 17, 2021 at 10:33 pm

    This video is not telling me how to create an item or product list



  32. Joe Bama on August 17, 2021 at 10:33 pm

    Where did you purchase the software for $189



  33. Dave Manning on August 17, 2021 at 10:34 pm

    Very informative videos. I recently setup 2021 desktop on my mac. No way I’m putting my company financials on the internet, even if that means I have to find different accounting software.



  34. Michelle Harriman on August 17, 2021 at 10:35 pm

    When I convert my desktop to online, will it say "Online " on the top? how will I know it is online?



  35. Parris A Gray on August 17, 2021 at 10:36 pm

    Soooo muchhhhh value!!!! Thank you! 🙌🏾



  36. Shin CA on August 17, 2021 at 10:43 pm

    No certification?



  37. Naim Nazha on August 17, 2021 at 10:43 pm

    I have Quickbook pro 2018 , do i have to upgrade to 2021 version



  38. Thomas Stanley on August 17, 2021 at 10:43 pm

    Please cover how to import data from QBOL to Enterprise. A step-by-step would be nice.

  42. Hà Nguyễn on August 17, 2021 at 10:49 pm

    Can you explain the difference between Inventory Part and Inventory Assembly? How does Inventory Assembly work and how Build Assemblies work? Thanks!



  43. Bashir Shadi on August 17, 2021 at 10:49 pm

    Thanks for the videos, they are helpful.
    for the yearly subscription option is that means after one year the software is not useable any more? Does that mean every year have to pay the year amount?
    Thanks
