Tax Prep. / Client QuickBooks files

If they insist on doing themselves on QB I tell them that at the end of the year I want all thier bank statements and we will redo the books on our system (Peachtree) and charge them by the hour at our full rate ($125 per hour). QB is CRAP and will allow them to put anything they want anywhere they want.

Did I mention QB is CRAP?!!

Josh while I tend to agree with your view point on QB, personally I think you may be fighting an uphill battle.
QB is here to stay like it or not and more people each and every year are migrating to it.

Quickbooks Pro Advisor

I took the certification course last year and was a QB Pro Advisor. QB touts that you can make extra money by being a Pro Advisor. I never did find any benefit to doing that. The only reason I did it was for the CPE. I live in a rural community which probably makes a difference.

I taught Quickbooks at our local community college. I would highly recommend that over the Pro Advisor certification. It gives you a better understanding of the in's and out's of QB.

Good luck!
