Photos and story by

Whether you are managing your own finances or doing the books for a business, QuickBooks is a must have tool. This summer Portland Community College will offer an online class designed to teach the basics and make students look like a pro in a few short weeks.

The course, QuickBooks 2007: Level I, will go over everything that students need to know to get started. Instructor Craig Power will cover how to set up a chart of accounts in QuickBooks, create and print invoices, receipts, and statements, track payables, receivables and inventory, create estimates and generate reports.

The class will be offered two times this summer: choose from July 18 through Aug. 24, or Aug. 15 through Sept. 21. Cost is $85. To register, e-mail ddavis@pcc.edu, or visit www.ourcoursescometoyou.com.
