Interested in learning more about QuickBooks and your business? Join the Wiscasset Area Chamber of Commerce and Town of Wiscasset for a four hour workshop on February 26 to increase your knowledge on this helpful bookkeeping product held by Ballou & Associates.

“The proper use of QuickBooks can give the small business owner information they need to increase profits and reduce costs,” said Tammy Swasey-Ballou of Ballou & Associates. “Throughout my 25 years of practice, I have found most users do not take advantage of the advanced features of QuickBooks that can help them turn their business into a money machine.”

Ballou & Associates is offering this QuickBooks Class on February 26 in at the Wiscasset Town Office Conference Room. The class runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The four hour class is designed to train business owners on setting up a company and the basic functions needed to develop accurate accounting records.

• Creating a company file

• Accounts payable/accounts receivable
• Banking
• Common mistakes in QuickBooks
• Reports you need to keep cash flow moving
• Important ways to set up new clients and customers

• Other topics

In addition to the training each attendee will receive a workbook with step by step instructions on the topics covered in the workshop and one hour additional support per registered business (a $75 value) after the workshop.
