I love how through you are in explaining everything. Thank you so much Mr Garcia! Many blessings to you and your family.

Thank you so much for such a comprehensive review of how to become a professional bookkeeper. I have been researching for weeks and luckily stumbled on to this video which really helped me siphon through all the crap and make decisions that streamline my goals.

Signed up and so excited and eager to complete! Hector, thank you so much for all this valuable information you share 🤗

Hector, this is amazing information. Thank you SO MUCH for everything you do. As a beginner you have helped me understand a lot more than college has taught.

Right on time!! I just started the course in Coursera. Thank you for the information.

Mr. Garcia, You are the best!!! I am in the transition from a teacher assistant to a bookkeeper. I get an accounting background from my country..This is a real motivation to come back

Thank you for being so kind to share this information. Blessings

thank you so much for this info I will be following your advice and going with intuit. As always you are a wealth of knowledge. I appreciate you hector. Great content keep up the good work I know you are helping many people. Till the next one . Primo

Thank you so very much! Very concise and thorough in outlining the details step by step. Exactly the information I was seeking.

I'm interested in starting a career as a professional bookkeeper, didn't know where to start, this video helped a lot. Thanks a million 🙏

Such a good teacher. Love it!

Found this earlier and did the Intuit Bookkeeping course you suggested. Thank you.

So extremely informative and helpful. Thank you so much

Hector, I actually took and received my certificate for Coursera. I then scheduled and took the Intuit Professional test. The two options were desktop and QBO. I took the online test (mistake), but all my experience was on desktop platforms. The test was almost exclusively about setups, roles, etc. There were almost no actual bookkeeping questions. Needless to say, I was like a deer in the headlights. I ended up with a 670 (fail) out of the 700 required to pass. I was actually pleased that for a platform I had NO previous knowledge of, I scored just under a passing grade. I had paid for a retest and got the new voucher number for the retest. I will be retaking the QBO, but not until I have watched every one of your videos! Thank you for putting them on here!

This is a great resource for looking at the top options available to gain more bookkeeping knowledge and certification. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! This was thorough, straight forward, and very informative.

Good stuff Hector. Thanks!

I learned everything I know from your channels. Thank you for all your videos and suggestions to perfect my craft!

Already have my two ones certification. Bookkeeping basic and Assets 👋👋 Thank you Hector you are such a great teacher. Blessings for you and family

Wonderful coaching. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your invaluable information. You went right to the point. Good videos as always.

Thank you so much Hector for the valuable information and tips!

This is what I needed to know. Thanks!

Thank you Mr. Garcia for breaking this down and explaining it so clearly. I was considering a $500+ course at my local community college but this Coursera/Intuit track actually sounds better and cheaper! I'm subscribing to your channel. Let's hear it for RU-vid and the fantastic resources available here.

Great video, Hector!

Thank you so much for this video! I have been wondering for years if I should pursue a bookkeeper cert beyond being a ProAdvisor. I became a member of AIPB and NACPB last year to try them out before pursuing a cert. I didn't even know about the Intuit cert! I'll be checking out Coursera and the cert details very soon.

Thank you!!! Great explanation! So exited😊

This is very informative Hector, well done sir!!!

Wow! Your are so helpful. Please keep doing it.Thank you so much!!

Thanks, Hector! I've been weighing my options and was unaware Intuit had a course and certificate. I'm already a QBO ProAdvisor so this makes the decision easy for me.

I've started yesterday with the «Intuit Certified Bookkeeping Professional! I'm taking the course with Coursera Canada. This is the course than Mr Garcia was talking about. We can translate the text in french. However I'm answering the questions in english. This is simple and easy! The course is very well done. I'm on the 1st Lesson which has 4 parts, and I'm almost half way of the 2nd part of it. It is a very good course! Thank you again Mr Garcia!

Seriously thank you for this. I have been so frustrated with all the ad-like information around this certification.

Wonderful Hector. I took the QB Certification course and completed Week 1. I'm also taking the aipb course which is very difficult. The aipb texts I've found out need a prerequisite of a one year accounting course (the aipb video tells you) and experience as a bookkeeper, I have a little experience with QB (self taught) but that's it. I didn't realize the material was too advanced for my knowledge and training. In any event, I recently passed the aipb Adjusting Entries and am studying Depreciation. Fascinating material. VERY difficult texts though.

Awesome! Thank you for the information

Thank you for this information, this is going to be a great help for me.

Thank you so much Hector for your videos.

This video is absolutely excellent!

Thanks so much this is exactly the information I was looking thanks 🙏🏾 🎉

Thank you so much for this.

I signed three weeks ago on Coursera. So excited 😆 and so exhausted. Taking Business Administration hybrid classes as well. Looking forward to finish by the end of the year and hopefully I can start working as a bookkeeper next year 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you Hector God blessed you!! We can do all we want if we put some effort and let God do the rest😀

Great video and info, thanks so much for clarifying.

Thank you so very much for your video review. This is exactly what I needed as I ponder over whether to take this course. 🙂

wow! Thank you Hector! l have it all backwards. I already have my Quickbooks ProAdvisor Certificate and was a bit lost until now. so glad I am glad i found this video. Ill look into the intuit bookkeeping Certification now.

Thank you so much for this video! I have been wondering for 2 months if I should pursue a bookkeeper cert beyond being a ProAdviso

Great job👍🏻 Stay Blessed😇

Intuit has the Basic Bookkeeping and I got certified within the trial period of one week! it had journal entries and basic stuff. It was fun! I didnt take the professional bc I dont want to pay $149.

Hi hector sir, thanks for the info. could you please also tell me how many attempts we goona get on Pearson Vue for clearing the certificate?

Very helpful sir as usual 🙏

Great video ... thanks.

Amazing!

Great effort

You are a great teacher

Thank so much CPA Garcia for this information, now I have a better understanding of the concepts.

Thank you for explaining the Intuit Certified Public Bookkeeper certification. I was wondering what in the world I had earned and how if it made any difference. I am still trying to understand the value of the cert. Thanks again.

Hi Hector, thank you for this video! It was very in-depth and really educated me on this new path I am taking to become a bookkeeper. I have a few questions. With obtaining this certification as an intuit certified bookkeeping professional, is this a certification that needs to be renewed yearly? If so, how do you go about renewing this certification? I know that the pro-advisor certifications are renewed yearly but when it comes to this certification does it have to be renewed yearly or is it a good practice to do so or is this a do it once and done certification?

So cool!! 🔥

Thanks!!

Thanks for all the awesome content. I watch it a lot. Is this a canadian option as well?

I'm graduating in December with an AAS in accounting. Is it still recommended that I go through the courses any of these associations offer?

thank you!

Thank you Hector for this great information. What a coincidence, that today, I got useful information from two gentlemen name Hector.

I have a BS in Accounting from Binghamton University but that Wharton certification is very tempting imo

Hi. I just found you and found this very helpful, but I have a few questions and hope you can get back to this eventually. Firstly, great content, but there are a few updates now. You can take the exam for free now but there is a 2 attempt limit and then a 6 MONTH wait if failed both times. I should start off saying I have zero experience with any of this. Brand new beginner. I took the free course on Intuit Academy and found it to be less than helpful (it's actually pretty broken and I don't really have anything nice to say about it right now). However, I also went back to the course in Coursera and it's the same thing but less broken. Anyway, after going back through the course in Coursera, it prompted to go take the exam. I may be upset right now and thinking about it too hard, but Coursera tells people to take the exam after the first module "Bookkeeping Basics". Naturally, I failed it. I guess my questions would be about additional training info for this Intuit course/exam. Do you have any ideas about this? I am desperately trying to find some info on this but hardly anyone is talking about it. Even the Intuit Academy is only really pushing the Tax Pro cert. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the intuit certificate/ certification enough to go get an entry level job in bookkeeping?

Thanks a lot:):):)

Thank you.

Is there a QuickBooks course within the Coursera Plus option or should I just do the Bookkeeping first and then QuickBooks later?

thank you!!!!

I sign up thank you 🙏😊

I was wondering if the Coursera course was worth it, thank you so much for this video!

Hi Victor, I am in tax, just started the QB course in coursera. I would like to know practicing the 4 parts is fine to take the certificate exam or do I need to get any study material for the thorough practice. Please guide I have been looking for the information all over but could not get the right answer anywhere. Thanks

Start date, August 3 2023, Intuit Quickbooks course. Will keep you all updated on my progress on this thread. Would like to find a bookkeeping job by the end of this year. And not long after that, be working remotely from Colombia.

Congratulations hectar. Sorry to ask difference topic , why does your channel not teaching quickbook POS ? I am really appreciated when you have video for training quickbook POS . THANKS 😊

Does the intuit exam certification allow you to put the letters behind your name? Is there any continuing education requirements?

Hi Hector, thanks a lot for this video it's very helpful, is the intuit bookkeper certification is good for canadian?

Hello Hector, I would like to know what can someone do if they already have a degree in accounting from another country and was working as an accountant already for many years, and would like to be a certified as an accountant in the United state what should they do?

Thank you so much for your help and insight that you share. Highly appreciate it! My question is if I can take the $149 exam without the Coursera because I am about to finish my bookkeeping certificate at my local community college and I feel like I would love to challenge the Intuit bookkeeping exam after watching your video?

Thank you for the video. Is this all the same for Canada?

So I have a question do you think if I learn bookeeping and take and pass certification examination will my potential to find entry level bookeeping work online be good? Thank you for your time.

Thanks for this. I have a question though. How likely are you to get hired with the intuit bookkeeping certification if you don’t have a college degree?

Can I sit the intuit quickbooks exam from outside the US?
