I am patting myself on the back and  hoping someone will celebrate with me!  I passed my 2014 QuickBooks Pro-Advisor Certification today.  In addition to attending several QuickBooks trade shows and educational conferences every year, I take a test to prove I deserve the Certified by Intuit logo.  Its official, I have been certified since 2007.

Here is the really, really big news…..I also passed my QuickBooks Online certification! I know many of you rushed to the window to see if the sky was falling 🙂 as you have heard from me several times that I am not a big QBO fan.  I am making a very concentrated and intense effort to adjust my QBO attitude.  It is the product of the future and I decided to get on the train before it was moving so fast I wouldn’t be able to catch up.

I am attending a conference in October where I will be concentrating for three solid days on QuickBooks Online training and an Advanced Certification in QBO.  QuickBooks Desktop is still a more feature rich product and is the best fit for our industry.  QuickBooks Online has some advantages over QuickBooks for Desktop and I will let you know when I think it is a product that some of you may benefit from the change.
