Course Curriculum
The detailed curriculum outline of our QuickBooks is as follows:
Module 01: Introduction
Begin with an introduction to QuickBooks Self-Employed and its role in organising business finances. Learners become familiar with the main areas of the platform and the types of bookkeeping tasks covered throughout the course.
Module 02: First Account Connected
Connecting a bank account is an important part of keeping financial information up to date. This module introduces the process of linking an account and bringing transactions into QuickBooks for review and categorisation.
Module 03: Receipts in Inbox
Receipts provide useful records for business expenses and financial tracking. Learners explore how receipts are handled in the QuickBooks inbox and how they can support organised transaction records.
Module 04: Adding Rules
Repeated transactions can take time to categorise manually. This section explains how transaction rules can help organise recurring activity and reduce repetitive data entry when reviewing business transactions.
Module 05: Create an Invoice
Invoicing is a key task for freelancers, contractors, and self-employed workers. Learners explore how to create an invoice and understand the information needed to record amounts owed by customers.
Module 06: Home Page Details
The home page provides an overview of important account activity. Learners look at the information displayed there and how the interface can help them navigate common QuickBooks tasks.
Module 07: Connect Another Account
Businesses may use more than one bank or financial account. This module looks at connecting an additional account and understanding how its transactions can be brought into QuickBooks for review.
Module 08: Creating Bank Rule on 070 Account
Learners build on their earlier knowledge by creating a bank rule for another connected account. The focus is on using transaction patterns to make recurring entries easier to categorise.
Module 09: Amending the Rules
Rules may need updating when business circumstances or transaction patterns change. This section explains how existing rules can be reviewed and amended to improve the accuracy of transaction categorisation.
Module 10: Reports
Financial reports turn recorded transactions into information that is easier to review. Learners explore the reporting area and consider how reports can help self-employed users understand income, expenses, and business performance.
Module 11: Transaction Adding – When Not on the Bank
Not every business transaction will necessarily appear through a connected bank account. Learners look at adding transactions manually so important financial activity can still be included in their records. QuickBooks Self-Employed supports manual transaction entry for activity that does not come through connected banking.
Module 12: QBSE and QBO Interface
QuickBooks Self-Employed and QuickBooks Online have different features and interfaces, so understanding the connection between the two helps learners navigate the software more confidently. The module introduces the interface and highlights how users work with the relevant QuickBooks environment.
Module 13: Conclusion
Finish by bringing the main QuickBooks functions together, from connected accounts and receipts to transaction rules, invoices, manual entries, and reports. Learners can review the key concepts and consider how they apply to everyday bookkeeping tasks.
