    PRESQUE ISLE – Northern Maine Community College’s Edmunds Conference Center will be the host site for a QuickBooks seminar Friday, Oct. 31 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.  This seminar will be an ideal training tool for employers or organizations that currently use QuickBooks software, as well as businesses that have not used it before and need to train new employees to learn how to use QuickBooks to its fullest potential. It will also help businesses that are considering the purchase of QuickBooks software make an informed decision.
    Presented by QuickBooks ProAdvisor Mary K. Williams, CPA, the seminar will include working with bank accounts, entering sales information, receiving payments and making deposits, analyzing financial data, working with inventory, and many other topics.

    According to Sherry Miller-Thibodeau, director of development for Advantage Payroll Services in Presque Isle, “We find that many of our clients use QuickBooks. So, as an added convenience, Advantage is able to provide payroll entries that will automatically post to their QuickBooks.”
    Heidi Graham, chief executive officer of Advantage, adds, “We are always looking for ways to make life easier for our clients.”
    The cost of the daylong course is $75, which includes both lunch and materials. Net proceeds will be donated to the Northern Maine Community College for scholarships.
