You will be prepared to provide both expert business and financial consulting. Certification as a QuickBooks ProAdvisor will improve your efficiency and increase the success of your practice. We’ll discuss these and more benefits in detail later in this article.

QuickBooks makes their certification program easy by providing free training resources, such as self-guided modules, webinars, and even live course options. You do not need to be a bookkeeper or an accountant or have any specific education certificates or degrees. By investing just one or two hours a day, you can become a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor in as little as two weeks.

QuickBooks offers certifications in several areas of specialization:

QuickBooks Online (Basic and Advanced)
QuickBooks Desktop (Basic only)

Your advanced certification credential significantly raises your credibility, further increases your facility with the QuickBooks systems, and enables you to improve your clients’ experience and grow your practice.
