Tabs

Welcome to Computerized Accounting with QuickBooks Online!

This book gives students an introduction to QuickBooks Online (QBO) that focuses not only on the software mechanics, but also on the basic accounting concepts that underlie all accounting systems. This book is not meant to be a user manual. Students will come away from this book with an understanding that it is their knowledge of the principles of accounting, not their data-entry skills, that is needed to be successful in business.

This 2018 update features the latest updates to QuickBooks Online.

Target Audience

This book is primarily intended for use in undergraduate accounting programs, although it could be used in business or computer information programs as well. It is expected that students taking this course have already successfully completed a course in financial accounting and have a firm understanding of the basic principles of accounting.

Access to QuickBooks Online Plus

Each new copy of this book includes a full year of access to QuickBooks Online Plus. Students should refer to the insert at the front of the book, which contains the license number and product code and instructions on accessing the complimentary cloud-based software.

With QuickBooks Online, students use their Internet browser to use the software—no installation required—and it can be used on any device with Internet access. (A high-speed Internet connection is recommended, such as DSL or cable modem. For more information go to https://community.intuit.com/articles/1145516-system-requirements-for-quickbooks-online and type in System Requirements in the search field.)

• New co-author Jennifer Johnson joins this edition.
• A second homework company option has been added to the end of chapter assignments (Salish Software Solutions)
• The first chapter has been updated to provide an overview of QBO only, and setting up company files has been moved to a separate chapter.
• Homework in the payroll chapter has been rewritten to provide opportunity to assess students’ understanding of QBO’s full payroll system. (Homework is completed in the QBO payroll Test Drive company file.)
• Added a new appendix, Understanding the Reconciliation Report, to the End-of-Period Activity (Service Company) chapter.
• A Midterm and a Final Exam are available for instructors (using QBO’s Test Drive company).
• Additional eLecture videos have been developed demonstrating common sales, purchase, and payroll transactions.

Outstanding Features of This Book

Structure

The book is designed in such a way that the accounting concepts, as well as the software mechanics, get more complex with each section. Other books focus primarily on software data entry.

Clear Writing

The book is written clearly to aid student understanding of difficult concepts. Clear explanations of why certain procedures are used in QuickBooks Online (QBO) are supported by relevant examples and relatable end-of-chapter assignments, serving to bridge the gap between computerized accounting concepts and real-world application.

Real-World Scenarios

Most computerized accounting textbooks on the market approach the teaching of QuickBooks in a prescriptive manner, going through the procedures of the software while overlooking how an accountant would actually utilize the software in the real world. The book takes a practical approach and shows the student how the software is used in a business environment. In addition to the standard financial reports, students are exposed to job, segment, and variance reports.

Unique Pedagogy

The book’s four-color format facilitates student understanding and draws attention to the key concepts and pedagogy. Ample screenshots provide students realistic snapshots of what they will see when working in the software. A host of pedagogical elements serve as helpful illustrations, providing additional context and further concept reinforcement.

HINT Boxes

HINT boxes appear throughout to provide helpful quick tips and tricks for working more efficiently in QBO.

WARNING Boxes

WARNING boxes highlight common technical pitfalls to avoid.

BEHIND THE SCENES Boxes

BEHIND THE SCENES boxes provide additional context in support of the accounting that is going on inside the computer.

QuickChecks

When students are learning accounting application software, it’s natural for them to focus on the software mechanics and forget that they’re taking an accounting course. To help put some of their focus back on accounting, students are periodically asked a question related to material covered in the chapter. The questions are intended to remind them, either directly or indirectly, of underlying accounting concepts. The answers are included at the end of each chapter.

Key Terms

Appearing in red, bold font in the first instance, key terms are defined for the student in the margins of the text for a quick refresher. A comprehensive glossary is included in the back of the book.

Practice Exercises

Practice Exercises are included at the end of every section in the first ten chapters. The exercises provide students an immediate opportunity to practice the material they just learned and prepare them for completing the chapter assignments. The exercises use the QBO test drive company, a fictional company called Craig’s Landscaping and Design set up by Intuit.

The Practice Exercises can be done in class, with the instructor, or can be done by the students, on their own, as part of the lab component of a face-to-face course or in online courses. Check figures are included with the exercises to reassure students that they are recording the transactions accurately.

End-of-Chapter Material

End-of-chapter review material includes:

• Chapter shortcuts.

• Chapter review with matching of terms to definitions and multiple choice questions that are a combination of accounting concepts and QuickBooks application questions.

• A choice of two end-of-chapter assignments featuring fictional companies that move from selling service exclusively in the early chapters to selling both services and products in the later chapters.

The assignments include check numbers for students. This allows them to focus on the process and reduces student frustration.

Appendices

There are a number of additional topics that are helpful to students as they master QBO, and these have been included as end-of-chapter and end-of-book appendices. Instructors may wish to cover these topics in class or have students go over them on their own time.

Students often have a difficult time seeing any similarities between computerized accounting systems and the more manual systems they saw in their introductory financial accounting classes (the journal entries, T-accounts, and general ledgers). To help students connect the two, Appendix A (Is Computerized Accounting Really the Same as Manual Accounting?) is an accounting refresher that compares manual and computerized accounting and provides examples of how journal entries, journals, T-accounts, and trial balances show up in QBO. It also covers cash versus accrual accounting.

Certiport-Mapped

The book has been mapped to the 10 domains that comprise the exam objectives for the QuickBooks Certified User Exam.

What Is the QuickBooks Certified User Exam?

The Intuit® QuickBooks Certification exam is an online exam that is proctored at Certiport Authorized Testing Centers. The certification program validates QuickBooks accounting skills while providing students with credentials that demonstrate real-world abilities to prospective employers. Once passed, test takers receive an official digital certificate representing their skills in QuickBooks. A map correlating the chapter content to the Certiport domains is available to students so they can streamline their exam preparation.
