QuickBooks workshop will be on May 18 in Borger

The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will host a QuickBooks Online Plus accounting software workshop on May 18 at Frank Phillips College in Borger.

The one-day workshop will be held from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. in Room 117 at the college's Center for Access and Innovation, 901 S. Opal St. Registration cost is $50 and should be completed online at https://tx.ag/QuickBooksBorger2024. The registration deadline is May 15.

"We are limiting each session to 12 participants because we want each attendee to be in front of a computer," said DeDe Jones, AgriLife Extension risk management specialist, Amarillo. "If the class fills up, then we will add additional classes as needed."

The registration fee includes course materials and computer use. Couples are encouraged to attend and will be charged a single registration fee if they share a computer.

Jones, along with Will Keeling, AgriLife Extension risk management specialist, Lubbock, will be teaching the course.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of QuickBooks, including entering transactions, analyzing costs and profits, and payroll. QuickBooks Online Plus is a double-entry business accounting program often used by agricultural lenders and other small businesses, Jones said.

During the course, participants will learn to enter transactions into the program and analyze costs and profits. No prior computer experience is necessary, she said.

• Introduction and accounting overview.
