Hello everyone, I am a recent graduate with a postgraduate certificate in Accounting. I want to work as a bookkeeper in Canada. As I was looking to apply for bookkeeper jobs, I realize most of the companies require Quickbooks certification or Quickbooks experience. Even though I did my postgraduate certification in Accounting, I never got the opportunity actually to learn the Quickbooks software. It was only when I started looking for bookkeeper job, I found out that Quickbooks certification/experience is actually required. However, I am not sure how to get started with the training and certifications as there are several versions of Quickbooks. I would really appreciate if any of the community members could help me figure out how to get started with Quickbooks and some advice on how to get hired as a bookkeeper. Thank you for taking your precious time to go through my question. 

QBO created the client incorrectly when I tried to link a spouse.  It created the client as a business client (no option given to do otherwise) and now will not link them.  I need to delete it and create as an individual, not a self-employed T1.

I have created a number of new accounts under the Chart of Accounts and followed the procedure outlined.  When I look at the Chart of Accounts, they are listed there.  However, when I'm doing a new invoice and use the pull-down menu on Product/Service, it doesn't recognize the number and asks if I want to add a new account. I'm not sure why it doesn't recognize the new account?  Screenshot attached. Thanks.

So I signed up for online payments and just had my first client pay using online payments. Now what? I can't find any information in my account or online about the payments except for an email that I received saying it was paid. How do I access the money? Where does it go? I honestly cannot believe that I pay $15/month for this and get zero support.

The drop down menus are too small and restricted to what you type in the dialogue box.Please make them expandable with the ability to scroll through more options.

When I upload a receipt and enter the information, very often when I start typing, the text  is entered backwards in the field; e.g. instead of the letters being entered into the box as "typing" it is entered as "gnipyt".Why does it do this and how do I stop it?  It is annoying.I have tried refreshing the browser and clearing cache, etc.  but that doesn't help.  

We invested $50000 in the company from personal investments. Now I have to JE the Interest Income, Dividend Income, Capital Gain on investments and Management Fees.

I cannot get QB 2023 to open any file. I keep getting the same error message. I chatted online twice for support and nothing was fixed. Has anyone else encountered this error, and how do I fix it?

Our company owes the CRA corporate taxes for last year end.  I've paid and now I have to enter it into QB.  Does the amount owed get posted to "Tax Expense" Expense account or is it posted to the "Taxes Payable" Other Current Liability account?  I know it's a simple accounting question but I can never get this one straight.  It confuses me every time. Thanks

On my purchase orders i order my clothing by size and color but when i try to receive the PO with Bill it only shows me the qty and cost colums. is there a way to add more columns on this page to make it easier to see what i need to receive? EG. I order 10 small red , 10 med red, 10 large red and 10 small blue, 10 med blue and 10 large blue tshirts but when i receive i may have only got 9 red medium but there is no way to tell when line this as as all i see is that the qty is 10 for all items and the cost is the same for all items. i don't know which line is which item?

I've got an employee who is set up in QBO twice.  The system won't let me merge them...the inactive employee record has the correct SIN but the active record does not and won't let me change or delete either.  I'm trying to fix her current T4.

We have switched from a Post-Pay account to a Pre-Paid account for fuel.  I have written the check for say $25,000.00. The account that I am using, is the OCA account. This is increasing the amount.  We have bills entered that are coded to an expense account ("fuel") however, I need this to go against the OCA account, to reduce the amount.  I read where you would enter a negative amount in the bill, coding it to the OCA account.  Using the following example, this is what it does:      Bill is for $602.00. I changed this from the "fuel" account, as a negative amount of $602.00 to the OCA     account in the Expenses tab.     Once I do this and tab to the next line, it then tells me that I have to code $1,204.00 towards an expense     account. But if I do this, it is going to double the amount for the fuel we are actually using.  Also, how would I close out the bill as "
