Bookkeepers and accountants are expected to use computerized accounting software to build and complete a company’s books. In this course, QuickBooks Online will be the software tool. As the course progresses, you will be using the accounting fundamentals learned in Financial Accounting to setup and complete a company’s books.

As part of this course, the textbook will guide the student through setting up a company, recording transactions and reporting. By the end of the course students will be able to take the NACPB Certification exam for certification in QuickBooks Online.

Attendance Policy

Regular attendance and participation in classes are essential for success in and are completion requirements for courses at CCV. A student's failure to meet attendance requirements as specified in course descriptions will normally result in a non-satisfactory grade.

  • In general, missing more than 20% of a course due to absences, lateness or early departures may jeopardize a student's ability to earn a satisfactory final grade.
  • Attending an on-ground or synchronous course means a student appeared in the live classroom for at least a meaningful portion of a given class meeting. Attending an online course means a student posted a discussion forum response, completed a quiz or attempted some other academically required activity. Simply viewing a course item or module does not count as attendance.
  • Meeting the minimum attendance requirement for a course does not mean a student has satisfied the academic requirements for participation, which require students to go above and beyond simply attending a portion of the class. Faculty members will individually determine what constitutes participation in each course they teach and explain in their course descriptions how participation factors into a student's final grade.


Participation Expectations

This course is a standard online structure and it is important to keep up with each module schedule. The homework exercises and quizzes are set up on McGraw HIll Connect. At the beginning of the course, you will receive an invitation for the student business from the instructor to access the student project and receive a sign on to QuickBooks Online. Each chapter will have detailed instructions and exhibits to walk you through QuickBooks Online.



Missing & Late Work Policy

I understand that CCV students have busy lives with many responsibilities. There are discussion topics each week that students should complete with posts to two other students that week.

Completing the individual modules and the QuickBooks Online semester business is important on a timely basis is important not to fall behind. Both these functions reflect the student's attendance and course completion.

Please let me know through email or phone if you have concerns with the course schedule.

Thank you


Accessibility Services for Students with Disabilities:


CCV strives to mitigate barriers to course access for students with documented disabilities. To request accommodations, please
  1. Provide disability documentation to the Accessibility Coordinator at your academic center. https://ccv.edu/discover-resources/students-with-disabilities/
  2. Request an appointment to meet with accessibility coordinator to discuss your request and create an accommodation plan.
  3. Once created, students will share the accommodation plan with faculty. Please note, faculty cannot make disability accommodations outside of this process.


Academic Integrity


CCV has a commitment to honesty and excellence in academic work and expects the same from all students. Academic dishonesty, or cheating, can occur whenever you present -as your own work- something that you did not do. You can also be guilty of cheating if you help someone else cheat. Being unaware of what constitutes academic dishonesty (such as knowing what plagiarism is) does not absolve a student of the responsibility to be honest in his/her academic work. Academic dishonesty is taken very seriously and may lead to dismissal from the College.
