Are you wondering how I became a QuickBooks ProAdvisor in less than 72 hours?
It’s easier than you think.
Ready?
Ok, I studied the course material and took the exam. Done!
No magical powers. No expensive training. No headaches. I don’t know why people be out here making things appear harder than it really is. Let’s just be real: if you’re not focused and are faced with all types of unbearable problems, it’s going to be hard for you to even pass a shadow of yourself without getting distracted.

If you need a short one-on-one QuickBooks tutorial to help your business manage your finances, schedule a strategy session with me or send me an email at wealthywomendaily@gmail.com. Trust me, if you want more money in your pockets during tax time, you’ll want a system like QuickBooks to help you document all your expenses.
Access ProAdvisor Resources
Click on the training modules and start studying.
There are short exams after each module to ensure that you understood and retained the information that was delivered. It’s also good to practice what you are learning. Hands-on experience is so much more valuable than theory and lecture.
If you want to gain real-life experience with QuickBooks, you can purchase the paid software so that you can explore as you study. Need a QuickBooks subscription? Let me know! I have tons of subscriptions available for users of QuickBooks.
Take the Exam
There are 5 sections of the exam. You will have to answer 75 questions and get 80% correct to pass the exam. Don’t be intimidated by the number of exams. You can study over a 2 day period and take the exam on the 3rd day.
Why Become a QuickBooks ProAdvisor?
It’s really a no-brainer. So many things will be automated so you want to gain as many skills as possible that will help you to create endless opportunities in the workplace.
Also, if you’re looking to ditch the desk lifestyle, QuickBooks gives you the flexibility to work from anywhere in the world. When you gain clients, you can get access to their accounts and manage their bookkeeping requirements and become a trusted advisor from anywhere in the world.
How cool is that?
And once you become a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, you can hang out with all the other pros at the QuickBooks Connect Conference. In 2017, Tyra Banks was a keynote speaker. Eeeeeek! It was super exciting. Who would have thought that a semi accounting/business conference could be so exciting?
Here is a link to the next QuickBooks Connect conference. You have tons of time to save for your conference package, hotel, and flight.
The world is changing and you need to make sure you have the skills on hand to change with it.
Don’t get left behind if the economy tanks. Stay ahead and you’ll gain the financial independence you seek no matter if the economy is up or down.

This can potentially be a fun skill to learn. I have thought about learning quick books for my own business. I’ve always wanted to open up a spa one day. Many ppl may not know but alone with my bachelor’s I was a licensed cosmetologist and still have dreams of having my own spa. Quick books would be a useful tool for managing business finances as well as employee payroll. Instead of hiring out sources for my small business. I would be able to take on my own business finances and payrolls with the quick books system so I thought that was cool
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! QuickBooks is a necessity for small business owners. You can do it yourself or hire someone else to do it. But it’s always good to know it all works so that no one can cheat you out of your money.
Yes! It was very interesting and fun to explore different opportunities beyond the cubicle. You would love working as a nurse on Chicago Med!
