CISA Winter Workshop Series: Introduction to QuickBooks
January 13, 2016 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
CISA will hold a ten-workshop series on Reducing Risk & Increasing Profitability with Sound Decision Making starting in January 2016. These workshops will provide tools for and examples of building decision making into the cycles of farm life to improve long-term profitability and sustainability. Participation in the whole series is encouraged, and to be eligible for free one-on-one consultative support, you must attend three workshops and be a cohort meeting participant. Dinner will be served at each session. The cost to attend the series is $90 for Local Hero members, or $18 for each individual workshop. The non-member fee is $110 for the series, or $20 for each individual workshop. Contact Devon Whitney-Deal or call (413) 665-7100 x22 with any questions or register below. If cost is a barrier to your participation please feel free to contact Devon to discuss options as we want everyone to be able to get the training they need to effectively operate their business.
The first class of the series will be an Introduction to QuickBooks class taught by Debbe Dugan from Simply Computing. She will provide a brief overview of your Chart of Accounts (a listing of all your assets, liabilities, income items, costs of goods sold, and expenses) and the Item list (what do you charge for?). This class will also cover the basics of accounts receivable and accounts payable. We will explore your customer lists and how the billings process affects your income. On the flip side, we will explore paying bills and maintaining your vendor list, including ‘specialty vendors’, like contract labor. Accounts receivable versus accounts payable makes up your Profit and Loss statement.
Funding for CISA’s Reducing Risk & Increasing Profitability with Sound Decision Making Series is provided by the Northeast Center for Risk Management Education and by individual contributors and Local Hero members. This series is based upon work supported by USDA/NIFA under Award Number 2012-49200-20031. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
