For more than a decade, Intuit has cornered more than 80% of the small business accounting software market. Regardless of a person's employment or self-employment interests in accounting, it is important to be a QuickBooks Specialist.

Becoming a QuickBooks Specialist™ not only certifies your expertise with QuickBooks but also demonstrates your commitment to being the best. Universal has taken the training offered in the Professional Bookkeeper™ program and applied it to the QuickBooks Pro software to provide the skills and experience necessary to become a QuickBooks Specialist.

Imagine applying the practical application of the accounting and bookkeeping module studied in the Professional Bookkeeping program to the most widely used small business accounting software, QuickBooks. Learn what the QuickBooks designation can do for you by going to www.getquickbookstraining.com.

QuickBooks SpecialistAccounting software to the accountant is like golf clubs to Tiger Woods — the key is not so much in the tool itself, but in how expertly it is used. The professional bookkeeper can only be as good as his/her ability to use the software available.

QuickBooks is the leading software in the small business accounting industry. Presently, over 80% of the small businesses using accounting software have chosen QuickBooks as their preference, and it is the preferred software for most small business accountants.

With millions of small businesses already using QuickBooks, and the majority of accounting positions with small businesses requiring expertise in QuickBooks, this designation can give you the advantage.

To evidence your expertise in QuickBooks Pro, Universal Accounting Center℠ gives those achieving a 90% or better score on their QS final exam the QuickBooks Specialist™ (QS) designation. This designation is only available to Universal students of The Professional Bookkeeper's Guide to QuickBooks.

This designation will distinguish you as proficient in setting up new businesses, working with company files, and consulting in QuickBooks Pro capabilities and issues. It will increase your credibility as a successful freelance bookkeeper/accountant.

You then work with this data so you get the complete picture of real-world QuickBooks use.

Third, the Professional Bookkeeper's Guide to QuickBooks program will become the most valuable resource in your reference library.
Whenever you have a question about a QuickBooks function, simply insert the appropriate disc into your CD-ROM drive or refer to your manual, and it will lead you to the answer while teaching you the tricks and techniques that will make you more proficient in using the program.

Fourth, taking this course gives you access to experienced QuickBooks professional accountants and CPA's.
