 First, let's think about a few different options that might be available for accessing QuickBooks Online, possibly for free. The first option, the one we're going to be setting up here, is the free 30 day trial period. There's also a free student version, free test drive, then you might want to take a look at discounts on the purchase of the software. Note, I recommend keeping separate in your mind practicing with QuickBooks Online and actually doing your bookkeeping with QuickBooks Online, which can be more difficult with the online version of the software than the desktop version. Because with the desktop version, you can set up multiple company files to practice with without being charged more per company file. Whereas with the online version, you are typically charged per company file that you're setting up. Therefore, that leads to a problem oftentimes of people already having their business file set up wanting to practice. But ideally to practice, you might want a new company file without data so you can practice the setup process. And of course, you don't want to mess up the data that's in your company file. So that leads us to our different options that we have here. Whether or not you already have a company file set up, you might be able to set up another company file utilizing the free 30 day trial planning on using this company file just to practice with. That's the mindset we're in when we go through this practice problem. The free student version is kind of similar to the 30 day trial, but you might be able to get more than 30 days, which would be great. So if you qualify as a student for Intuit, the owner of QuickBooks, you might want to look into that option. The free test drive is available to everyone. You can find it in the browser. We'll show you how to search for that. It has some pros and cons. It already has data in it, which can be quite useful for certain things. But when you're trying to set up like bank feeds and set up a new company file, it's not the ideal situation. You would like to have a nice fresh company file to be working with. And then of course, when you purchase the software for your own personal bookkeeping, which you might do after you do the practice and end the 30 day trial to set up another company file, then you might look into discounts with QuickBooks providers and CPAs and accountants and see what the best purchasing options are for your bookkeeping needs. Okay, let's get into it.
