AI-Powered Accounting Crash: 2 days
One focused skill or tool, learned over a weekend.
Overview
What happens in this tier
The SkillsVerx QuickBooks crash course spends 2 days, over one weekend, on QuickBooks Online and the bookkeeping basics behind it, with an AI assistant as your tutor. You set up a company file, record a week of sales and expenses, and read the reports QuickBooks produces, live online and taught in English.
Day one starts with debits, credits and the chart of accounts, because QuickBooks only makes sense once you know what it records underneath. Whenever an entry puzzles you, you ask Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini why it is a debit or a credit, then test the answer against the rule. You also create a company file for a practice shop with customers, vendors, products and opening balances.
Day two is daily bookkeeping: invoices, bills, receipts and payments, followed by a first look at the profit and loss report. Two days cannot cover Sage 50 (Peachtree), TallyPrime, payroll, Copilot in Excel or FBR digital invoicing, and the Crash tier does not pretend to. It suits a business owner checking their own books, a bookkeeper moving off Excel, or a commerce student who wants hands-on QuickBooks practice first.
Who it's for. Choose Crash if you need working QuickBooks Online basics fast and can spare a weekend. For bank reconciliation with Copilot in Excel and a full month-end, Sprint is the next step.
What you walk away with. You can set up a small business in QuickBooks Online, record its everyday transactions and read the profit and loss report it produces.

FAQ
Questions about AI-Powered Accounting Crash
Do I need an accounting background for the Crash tier?
No. The weekend opens with double entry in plain terms before you touch the software. If you can use Excel at a basic level, you will keep up.
What do I need installed for the weekend?
Nothing. QuickBooks Online and the AI assistants all run in a web browser. You do need a QuickBooks Online account or trial for the weekend, so check Intuit’s current plans before you register, plus a free Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini account.
Why QuickBooks and not Peachtree or Tally for a weekend?
QuickBooks Online is quick to set up in a browser and shows double entry clearly, which suits two days. Sage 50 (Peachtree) and TallyPrime are taught in the 45-day Track and 60-day Pro, alongside QuickBooks.
