QuickBooks for Small Business Owners Offered

Although most small business owners are worried about revenue, running a business involves a lot of other tasks. Depending on the type of business, owners may need to invoice customers, record payments from customers, pay their own bills to outside vendors, manage inventory, and in their "spare time"“ analyze financial data to see where they need to focus their next efforts. QuickBooks 2006 is a tool small business owners can use to automate the tasks they are already performing.

A two-day QuickBooks 2006 workshop is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov.14-15, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pierpont Community & Technical College of Fairmont State University's Center for Workforce Education at Veterans Square in downtown Fairmont. The training session is open to the public and is being conducted by the Pierpont C&TC Regional Small Business Development Center. For more information, call Tim James, Center Manager for the Fairmont Regional SBDC, at (304) 367-4920.

The "QuickBooks Complete"" training seminar is a hands-on, 12-hour training session that will help businesses manage accounts, track sales and expenses, create financial reports and other tools. As seating is limited to 20 people, those interested in attending the seminar should pre-register by calling (304) 367-4920. Cost for the workshop is $299.

The SBDC is partially funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration, although such funding does not constitute an expressed or implied endorsement of any of the co-sponsors or participants opinions, products or services. All SBDC workshops are co-sponsored by the West Virginia Development Office. Special arrangements for the handicapped can be made by contacting the center at least one week in advance.
