 One on One Work Sessions with Liz  (Quickbooks)

 

Project 1: Business Letter

Write a business letter on your company letterhead requesting to open a charge account with one of your vendors. For example, you buy your office supplies from Staples. You have always charged this on the company credit card. You are a reliable and long-time customer. Now, you would like to open a business account with Staples so that you do not have to use the company credit card every time you buy office supplies.


Project 2: Spreadsheet

Create a pricing spreadsheet for office supplies (or inventory items) to compare pricing across different companies. Use Google to find each company's prices.

 

EXAMPLE:

                                        STAPLES                                      OFFICE MAX

ITEM                    QTY     COST      Cost/item              QTY      COST      Cost/item  

black pens              10       $10.99     = QTY/COST


Project 3: Quickbooks

AR: Make two new invoices for two new customers, receive payments, and make deposit. 

AP: Enter two new bills, pay bills, and write checks.
