Accounting firms are seeking qualified candidates proficient in Intuit QuickBooks. With technological advances, today’s accountants act as small business advisors and are required to make faster and better decisions from the readily available data. Students prepare for and take the Intuit QuickBooks Certified User (QBCU) Online certification exam in ACCT 323: Accounting Software and Certification. Students will develop their technological communication skills, understand how to develop new workplace documents using Intuit QuickBooks, and contain the knowledge to support both the firm’s and clients’ QuickBooks accounts.
The following QBCU exams are currently available through EWU’s Testing Center:
The Professional Accounting department offers ACCT 425: Business Computer Applications for Accountants as an elective option to help students be successful in the accounting workplace.
