Accessing Your QuickBooks Online Trial

Your instructor will provide you with the trial software via a link that's emailed to you. Check your spam/junk folder if you don't see it. It's important to set up your company file properly. If not, you may not be able to complete all the exercises, or your results will not be optimal.

To get started:

  1. In the email, click the link to accept the invitation.
  2. Fill in the new account form using your school email address, full name, and a phone number that can receive texts and then click Create Account. (If you already have an Intuit account with your school email address, you can sign in with those credentials, but make sure to click Create a New Company at the bottom of the page. If you are retaking this course, we recommend naming your new company file “Puppy Luv Pampered Pooch 2 – [Your Name].”)
  3. Click Get Started on the welcome screen.

You will continue by adding a few details to your company file. The setup process in QuickBooks Online has a tendency to change. Your screens may not follow the order of items here and/or may not include all items. You may skip many options.
