Intuit's 3rd
Annual Enterprise Solutions User Conference: Dallas TX - September
10-12, 2008 Intuit has invited Joe to speak again at the
3rd
annual QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions User Conference. The Enterprise Solutions
User Conference is
designed especially for businesses who use Enterprise Solutions or
who would benefit from doing so. Though the conference focuses on
many features that are available only in Enterprise Solutions, the
content is applicable enough to QuickBooks Pro and Premier for any
QuickBooks user (and consultant) to benefit from attending the
courses. This year Joe will teach advanced QuickBooks topics
targeted to QuickBooks consultants - many of whom will attend the
conference due to the Enterprise Solutions Reseller mini-conference
on September 9. Joe will also present a session on a new feature
available in QuickBooks 2009 a feature I am unfortunately not at
liberty to detail on my website at this time. Suffice to say that it
is one of the most exciting improvements to QuickBooks for
accounting professionals that Intuit has ever offered in a new
version! Click

adapt QuickBooks to work in various industries (i.e. "workarounds")
as well as steps necessary to locate and fix various QuickBooks data
entry errors and data file setup problems. Joe's courses are only
one of a wide range of topics offered across 4 different training
tracks. This one day QuickBooks course will include intermediate and
