Welcome QuickBooks 2012 — there are some really great new features this year for QuickBooks users and accounting professionals! I am honored and excited to be one of the trainers again this year for Intuit Academy.  I hope you will join me for live seminars or webinars as detailed below. 

Live Face to Face Training

I will be presenting live seminars in the Kansas City area on November 30, 2011.  If you are a CPA, accountant, bookkeeper, tax professional or QuickBooks ProAdvisor, you won’t want to miss learning about the great new features in QuickBooks 2012 and how to Find and Fix Client Data Errors.

Thank you to Kansas Small Business Development Center and Kansas Society of CPAs for partnering with me to offer these live seminars on the Johnson County Community College campus in Overland Park, Kansas.  Beverages will be provided.  Plus, you could win QuickBooks Accountant 2012 (MSRP $499)  just for attending (1 winner for each seminar).

• What’s New in QuickBooks 2012 for You and Your Clients – 2 hours CPE – 8:00 – 9:45

• Learn how new features in QuickBooks Accountant helps accounting professionals streamline their workflow and collaborate better with clients.  Discover the new Period Copy feature and how useful it can be for audits or other situations.  See the new Excel Integration and Refresh feature along with other great new features including an Accountant Center, Lead Center and more.  You will also learn how new time-savings features in the QuickBooks product lineup helps your clients get organized to save them time and prepare you to make a recommendation.

• Find and Fix Client Data Errors Faster – 1 hour CPE – 10:15 – 11:15

• This course will guide the accounting professional to using any or all of the components of Client Data Review (CDR).  Although this tool and all its features are designed to be an all-inclusive “find, review and fix” solution to common client entry errors during a year-end engagement, CDR can be used at any time to save the ProAdvisor countless hours in fixing these mistakes.  A few of the CDR tools you will learn about include:

Note:  You must register for each seminar separately if you plan to attend both.

Read what previous seminar attendees have said about Michelle’s seminars:

•  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

•  If you have a question about QuickBooks, you only have to ask Michelle Long. Her knowledge of QuickBooks is outstanding. I have found her webinars very informative and often refer to the material provided in the course. Her “Successful QuickBooks Consulting” book is a great resource I’ve re-read several times.  November 30, 2010
