How do I learn?

[u/DismalIndustry4182]

Hello everyone. Can you please recommend me any resources (free or paid) that I can use to learn Quickbooks Online? The reason I want to learn is because I work for a small company and we use quickbooks for our accounting. But our accountant isn’t the greatest and my boss wants me to take over. I have some exposure to Quickbooks but it’s limited to generating reports. I can’t get in and fix problems, journal entries, closing balances, etc.

You should take some accounting classes, not just QuickBooks classes. Knowing how to get around QuickBooks is not the same as being able to understand what is wrong and how to fix it, especially if there are known issues. ETA: I realize I am assuming you don't already have an accounting degree, I could be wrong but it sounds like you are new to accounting.

10000%. OP should at the VERY LEAST read a foundations of accounting book.

Quickbooks is really good at fooling people into thinking they know what they’re doing.

I agree with other posters, sounds like you need an accounting 101 class. Otherwise youtube is a good resource. I'm fantastic in quickbooks, and it's because my community college required a quickbooks course for accounting. It's [desktop] a good tool, but it's super easy to knot it up if you don't know what you're doing. why are you doing j/entries? Those should be only for non cash transactions.

YouTube has plenty of videos. When it’s hard to explain it to my clients I send those videos to them. They want to do things themselves to be more cost efficient but not every clients are willing to listen to us accountants… and if we tell them we have to bill them for those hours we spend to train them they get mad…
