In order to be ecologically and financially sustainable, you must understand the basics of accounting and bookkeeping and, as Richard Wiswall says, “plan for profit.” In this double session, we will review basic accounting concepts, QuickBooks, and work together through cash flow projections. The first section will provide practical tools for using QuickBooks to manage your farm bookkeeping. We will review basic accounting concepts that underlie QuickBooks. We will review basic transactions such as entering expenses, creating invoices and recording bank deposits. We will also discuss the various reports that can help you manage cash flow and growth. In the second section, we’ll create cash flow projections. Participants can attend just one of the two sessions; however, please note that the second session will build upon concepts in the first.
