HARTINGTON, NEBRASKA – Several QuickBooks workshops have been scheduled for local entrepreneurs and business owners in the Hartington area. These free trainings are sponsored by the Center for Rural Affairs, Security Bank, and Hartington Public Library.

Each session is limited to 10 attendees. Basic Quickbooks classes are set for Aug. 22, 23, 29, 30, and advanced QuickBooks classes are set for Sept. 5 and 6. They will run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Hartington Public Library, 106 S Broadway Ave., in Hartington.

“Accurate recordkeeping can be beneficial to the success of a small business owner’s business,” said Kim Preston, Center for Rural Affairs Women’s Business Center interim director. “Recordkeeping can quickly identify past due accounts and help collect those accounts in a more timely manner. That helps cash flow and viability.”

Small business owners will learn how to create customer accounts, enter sales and income, write checks and track expenses, generate reports, as well as other bookkeeping features of the program itself.

“This really helped me with my operation,” wrote one past participant in their course evaluation.

“The system needs to be set up right so the reports are accurate,” said another attendee. “This was also very useful for working with my banker.”

The use of laptops and software will be provided.
