I use a MacBook Pro with Parallels so that I can use either Mac or Windows applications. I expect to add Mac clients this year. Michelle Long has demonstrated extensive knowledge on a wide range of subjects relating to QB including the Mac. Looking forward to a good relationship with “The Little Square” that she recommended.

Michelle’s blogs and contributions on the AIPB web site are very useful for me. I’ve been using Quicken and QuickBooks for years, but more on a personal level. As I expand into doing bookkeeping for others, I need all the help I can get. Discussions such as these expand my view of what I can do with QuickBooks.
Michelle has been a great resource for me in regards to assistance with QuickBooks issues. I really enjoy all her training webinar sessions and often go back an listen to them several times to catch things I might have missed the first time through.

Successful QuickBooks Consulting Book, December 13, 2010
By Tim Hughes – See all my reviewsAmazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Successful QuickBooks Consulting: The Comprehensive Guide to Starting and Growing a QuickBooks Consulting Business —Ideal for Bookkeeping or Bookkeepers, Accounting or Accountants, or Consultants (Paperback)
When I first started my QuickBooks consulting practice 3 years ago, I had heard this was the book to get. So I did. It helped me create the foundation for a very successful practice, as this book gave me the nuts and bolts of QuickBooks, marketing, engagement letters, and much more. I feel like I saved both time and money by learning from someone who has obviously been there. For that, I am grateful I had the opportunity to read this book.
CDR is amazing. Thank you Michelle for making us aware of all the great tools we have at our disposal, as this will only elevate our level of service to our clients. We will be able to focus on other very important things like cash flow, financial analysis,
I came in contact with Michelle online through an Intuit webinar and LinkedIn a few months ago. Between her LinkedIn group that I am a member of, her training sessions, and her website, I have been not only impressed by her vast Quickbooks and business knowledge, but also by her genuine interest in sharing her knowledge with the rest of us to make us better at what we do. Additionally, she brings that quality of sharing knowledge out in everyone else in her LinkedIn group. Thank you Michelle!

I have been using QuickBooks since 1999 and must say that QuickBooks Accountant 2011 is indeed the best of the bunch. Intuit has outdone themselves this time around. QuickBooks Accountant 2011 is jam-packed with new features and enhancements. Some of my favorites are the new Batch Invoicing (this really helps with billings for my HOA clients); Client Data Review enhancements like the ability to reclassify transactions in batches and matching up unapplied payments and credits (both vendor and customer) save a ton of time; and the ability to have TWO company files open at the same time is another excellent addition.
QuickBooks Accountant 2011, with its many time-saving tools, is definitely a good investment.

Thank you Michelle for all the time you obviously commit to helping others!
Beth Boyd via Michelle L. Long: Intuit has launched a great radio talk show each Wednesday. QB expert Michelle Long is the guest this week – I’ve been to her classes and she knows her stuff. Dawn Brolin is on the panel and she’s worth the listen alone – she knows a LOT about QuickBooks and she’s a hoot! If you have a question or are just a QuickBo…oks nerd, this broadcast is for you!

Joe Woodard told me to get Michelle’s book (Successful QuickBooks Accounting). She has lots of good advice in there. If one does 85% of what is recommended in there having enough work will not be a problem. Having trouble getting all the work done is a good problem to have!!
Michelle is a key person in the world of Quickbooks and Business Consulting and has given her time and expertise to thousands of people!
I posted a help question on aipb upon starting my business and Michelle immediately sent me a youtube link of her walking me through my question. it was SOOO simple. It’s one thing to be a great resource it’s another to do it with kindness, encouragement, and professionalism as Michelle does each time.
Michelle is one of the most knowledgeable QuickBooks professionals that I’ve worked with, and is always willing to provide her expertise and help. Her book “Successful QuickBooks Consulting” has been a great resource for me. I’ve been a member of the LinkedIn group “Successful QuickBooks Consultants” for over a year and it has been one of my “Go To” places for quality information. Thanks again, Michelle!

In Michelle’s book, she gives valuable information to start and run a successful QB consulting business. She has become an essential resource for all things QB, and keeping my business up to date. Thank you Michelle. :o)

I have found the book ” Successful QuickBooks Consulting” very useful in my business. Michelle Long is very open to sharing her knowledge. I use the book as a model for growing my consulting firm Washington Consultants, LLC. It is good to know that someone else has been successful in the same field.
I also have most of the podcasts of Michelle saved. The podcasts of interviews with her have been helpful. I can go back and listen to them over and over. I am looking forward to growing my business as a result of these resources.
“I’ve known Michelle for years after meeting her on the many accounting forums she frequents. She readily shares her knowledge and inspires others to build their businesses. She always has a smile, a word or encouragement and a positive attitude.

I am amazed at the knowledge Michelle has of QuickBooks. Her tips for study for the Advanced Certification test has been very helpful to me. I would never have thought of some of them had I not watch her utube video.
If you are new to QuickBooks or thinking of starting your own company or better yet, become a QuickBooks Pro Advisor. This is a step by step comprehensive book that will explain how to start your own successful QuickBooks Consulting Firm. I became a Pro Advisor 4 years ago. Is is the best thing I ever did for myself financially. I didn’t really use it for the first 2 years. I purchased this book and got really great insights into the nuts and bolts of starting my own business.

I’ve found Michelle to be an excellent resourse for Quickbooks and has really helped me launch my own business just by reading her blogs and book
I’ve been using QuickBooks Accountant for years now, and it’s a great program. I use it for a wide range of clients. It’s easy to use, intuitive, and relatively flexible business accounting software. The developers are always working to make it better with each release, and it does get better. Customer support is really quite good, as well. It’s no wonder QuickBooks is the most widely used accounting software in the nation.

The courses written by Michelle were such a help and a great reference tool for the future. What a wonderful resource we all have to have access to such a knowledgeable professional. (As written on Michelle’s ProAdvisor website)

Michelle is an excellent resource for QuickBooks ProAdvisors – she is on top of all of the nuances of the software and can help you work through some of the more difficult issues. Check out her blog and LinkedIn group for ongoing info!

I have attended Intuit QuickBooks training sessions with Michelle and find her presentations to be some of the best I have attended. Her knowledge and passion for QuickBooks and QuickBooks related products makes her training sessions fun and totally relevant! I would recommend any training provided by Michelle to anyone looking to advance their knowledge of QuickBooks. December 1, 2010

Michelle and I both belong to Intuit’s Trainer Writer Network. Michelle has an extensive knowledge of both QuickBooks and Accounting. She has written many training presentations for Intuit, as well as her own books. Michelle has made a tremendous contribution to the Intuit Community with her expertise, answering business owners’ questions relating to QuickBooks and providing several online webinars . I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone who is looking to expand their knowledge of QuickBooks, whether it be a fellow QuickBooks ProAdvisor or a small business owner.

I have only been a member of Michelle’s group for a short period of time but I have already found her advice to be priceless. MIchelle does a great job sharing her QuickBooks expertise as well as facilitating others to share their experience. This is helpful to all that follow Michelle be it on her blog, LinkedIn group or her web-site.
As always, you’re a wealth of QB information, Michelle. I really don’t know where you find the time to post to (and host) forums between book writing and working the Intuit circuit.

kgibbs – See all my reviews
This review is from: QuickBooks Accountant 2011 (CD-ROM)
This is the version we’ve been waiting for… As a ProAdvisor, I believe that all QuickBooks users should upgrade to the 2011 edition.
Michelle’s expertise in QuickBooks and reading her book “Successful QuickBooks Consulting”, helped me to find out what works in my Bookkeeping business. I worked with another local PA who lent me his book to read. I have been hooked ever since. I took her class on Advanced Certification at the conference and found her to be very personable and extremely knowledgable.

Great product for small price, December 1, 2010

I was also fortunate enough to be able to beta test QuickBooks Accountant 2011 and discover the many enhancements to the product. Having worked with QuickBooks for years, I have to say this version is the best ever. Compared to past Peachtree & Quicken experiences, QuickBooks 2011 can’t be made simpler or more intuitive.

If you have a question about QuickBooks, you only have to ask Michelle Long. Her knowledge of QuickBooks is outstanding.

It didn’t show up immediately. Let me know if I need to do it again.
Love her book and blogs!
I’ve listened to several QB webinars for getting my certification with Michelle as the host and she always does a great job. Even though I started my business 3.5 years ago, I just purchased Michelle’s book, “Successful QuickBooks Consulting”. It has so much great information – I wished I’d read it sooner. I plan to share it with a friend who isn’t a ProAdvisor yet to help her out.
Keep up the fantastic job Michelle!
“Michelle’s wealth of knowledge, and her willingness to share it with others, has been a great resource for her peers and colleagues. ” Posted as a recommendation on Linked-In.
I carry Michelles book along with me, I refer many startup bookkeepers to read as they set up their business. Great Tool”
Michelle Long has a wealth of information which she shares unselfishly. I found the “Remote Access” You Tube video to be especially helpful with an introduction to using remote access.

QuickBooks 2011 has some improved features, like local document management storage and online backup, some long-awaited feature tweaks, and some not-ready-for-prime-time new features, but overall this is a nice upgrade from last year.

Michelle’s book has been a fantastic help for me in discovering the world of Quickbooks consulting. The book is very easy to read and it provides many tips that I could not find anywhere else. Thank you, Michelle, for sharing your knowledge!
I can’t think of anyone who I would turn to for Quickbooks advise other than Michelle Long. She seems to know it all. And her answers to questions are in everyday lanquage. If you are considering taking the Advance Certification Test by all means watch her Utube video and read her materials on tips and tricks. I would never had though of doing what she suggested. Thank you Michelle for being so valuable to us.
Michelle is one of the very best trainers that Intuit could ever have found; she is always on top of the material and her presentations are right on point. She has served as a guide for many of us and she continues to offer assistance and direction in her website offerings as well as her contributions to the various networks including the Intuit Community.
Thanks Michelle for always reaching to everyone’s questions and concerns always offering advice and support.

Practical tips and time saving advice is the order of the way, as well as ways to work out specific problems and issues as experienced by all of us at one time or another. It’s been a tremendous resource for me!
What I particularly like about this edition of QuickBooks Pro Accountants’ Edition is being able to work two files at the same time! A great fabulous new feature that has been added. Saves time and frustration when working with separate data files. Another great new feature is the client account at a glance when the invoice window is open for a particular client. It gives you a fairly full picture of that client’s account while you are entering new invoices! Another fab ‘extra’ by the creators of this great product!

I appreciate the great comments from everyone — are you also posting a review to the Find a ProAdvisor website, a Linkedin Recommendation or a QB 2011 review somewhere? You need to post those AND here to be entered in this part of the contest. 🙂
I just downloaded the “Preparing for QuickBooks ProAdvisor Certification” file. I listened to the information and want to say that Michelle is great and has alot of information on this topic. I also listened to her Marketing information and can’t wait to apply her suggestions. Thanks Michelle, you are the BEST.
I have been looking a the training website and I am so impressed with 2011 Accountant version of QuickBooks. I hope Michelle’s book gets here soon so I can read it. I want to get started soon. Can anyone give me some advice or tell me if it it worth getting the Accountant version of 2011?
As a CPA and a long time QuickBooks user, I thought that I would be able to pass the Certified QBA exam with no problems. Surprise, but thanks to Michelle’s Blog, notes, webinar “Preparing for QuickBooks ProAdvisor Certification”, I was able to pass it. She has great tips on using QuickBooks and anyone who reads her blog and web info and does not use the information is foolish. She is tops.
Michelle’s online class was outstanding, and she’s definitely one of the most informative QB consultants I’ve had the pleasure of learning from. She introduced me to the client data review feature which was very impressive (I have clients in Canada and sadly, they won’t have this feature for another year). Her tips and tricks, which can be found in a variety of different places, provide me with invaluable help running my own business.

Michelle is my go-to person when it comes to keeping up with what’s going on at Intuit. As a teacher and trainer myself, I found that being on Michelle’s linkedin groups and part of her Facebook community really helps me keep current on new QuickBooks products, issues, and solutions to problems. I was fortunate enough to meet Michelle in person at the Scaling New Heights conference in May, and am delighted to say she’s just as nice and easy to talk to in person as she is on the web!
I am new to AIPB and have been following the post that I get. I have experience in Accounting (25 years) through work and college. Years ago, I got out of accounting, but to no avail I am back and I found Michelle’s web site. I also purchased her book today and hope to learn how to prepare to open a business using her tools. I also am a Certified User but I took the test when Intuit web site offered it free. Michelle, I cant wait to read your book and get started with my business.
Thanks in advance for all your expertise and thank Intuit for all the contests.
Michelle had a very interesting and informative session. I usually hate sitting thru training sessions but this was different. I can say that I actually learned a lot of information in this session.
Michelle’s LinkedIn Group draws a crowd for a reason. She knows what she is talking about. She has the respect of her peers. I have her book and it is a great resource. I plan to feature it on my website with the next update to my resourses page. Her Group is one of the ones I always go to for answers.
Just a few hours of training has revolutionized my business! Michelle knew exactly what my firm needed to do in order to cut wasted time, cut receivables, and increase revenues. And I was only expecting a bit of technical help. Talk about overdelivering! The tips, tricks, and shortcuts she shared were things I didn’t even know I could do even though I’ve used QuickBooks for years. Thank you, Michelle. (Posted on Michelle’s QuickBooks Pro Advisor profile.)
Posted on LinkedIn, 11/16/10. “I recently heard Michelle speak at The Sleeter Group’s 2010 Accounting Solutions Conference. She spoke with much confidence about Advanced QuickBooks Troubleshooting. Her confidence comes from knowing the QuickBooks product and having dealt with, first hand, the errors clients can make. She is a asset to Intuit and to the many QuickBooks ProAdvisors that follow her.”
I’ve been a member of the LinkedIn group “Successful QuickBooks Consultants” for over a year and it has been EXTREMELY helpful! They update me on important industry topics and trends without my having to spend hours scouring websites and articles. Thank God for technology! 🙂
I’ve been a member of this group for about a year, and always look forward to Michelle’s comments. Her knowledge and interest in helping other professionals is always welcome.
Great tips. I’ll have to try this and report back. Yes cleaning up someone else’s mess is time consuming, but that is what keeps me in business.
Thanks for all the great advise and information Michelle. You are right up to date, and understand all the nuances of QuickBooks.

Michelle’s book has been a great inspiration for me. I am new at owning my own firm and was kinda forced into it with the economy the way it is. But with the ideas in her book and some of the webinars I’ve attended of Scaling New Heights and others, I am getting more and more confident. Now, if I could just earn enough to become a Pro Advisor! (Did I mention I live in a town of less than 6,000?)
Excellent software for Accountants who need to adjust entries or prepare Taxes from using the Tax Reports in QuickBooks Accountant 2011. Working on two files at the same time has been a great feature that has been added.
