QuickBooks Online (QBO) Masterclass

QuickBooks Online is the most widely used bookkeeping platform among small businesses in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, which makes it one of the most directly exportable skills the institute teaches — the work can be done from Islamabad for a client anywhere. The course is taught on live QBO sample companies rather than through slides. It assumes no accounting background and builds double-entry understanding first, because a bookkeeper who can drive the software but cannot say why a transaction hit a particular account is unemployable at the second interview.

• Apply double-entry principles and read a trial balance
• Set up a company file, chart of accounts and opening balances
• Record sales, invoices, receipts, bills and payments correctly
• Reconcile bank and credit card accounts to a statement
• Configure and file sales tax / VAT within the platform
• Run payroll, including deductions and year-end forms
• Produce and interpret P&L, balance sheet and cash flow statements
• Clean up a badly maintained file — the most common real client job
