Note from the author:

I’ve been a ProAdvisor for years. It’s easily the best value (free) with the most benefits of any program I’ve been involved with. I use the QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor program both for growing and running my own practice and for my college accounting classes where I use the training to grow the next generation of accountants and bookkeepers. Highly recommended for all accountants, bookkeepers, and tax preparers.
