QuickBooks for Farms Course

SCORE Maine and University of Maine Cooperative Extension are pleased to offer this QuickBooks workshop series tailored to small farms and agriculture businesses. This important software can help with your invoicing, tracking sales and expenses, and handling your bookkeeping requirements for tax preparation. QuickBooks will let you sync your data across your computer, tablet and smart phone mobile devices when you need it.

This is a hands-on workshop so you need an internet enabled device to follow along.  You will need to use both Zoom and your web browser to access the QB test drive at the same time, so using a smart phone will be more challenging to toggle between the two because of the small screen.

Who Should Attend? 

  • Any farm or agriculture business owner wanting to implement a sound accounting tool for their business

The Presenter: Michael Fortin from Augusta, graduated from Thomas College in Waterville with a BA in Business Education, and has worked as an accountant for both government and the private sector for more than 30 years with 17 years devoted to teaching QuickBooks.  He is also a Maine small business owner for 32 years at Power Mixers, a Maine DJ and audio-reinforcement company serving northern New England.
