"Many QuickBooks customers say their experience with QuickBooks is better when they work closely with a QuickBooks expert.

Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors are typically CPAs, accountants, small business advisors or consultants who have been tested and certified on QuickBooks.

ProAdvisors help businesses customize QuickBooks for their unique needs and help them get the most out of the software. ProAdvisors are also a great resource if you run into trouble with QuickBooks. ProAdvisor fees are typically reasonable and many businesses feel the investment is valuable.

Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors have taken a 3-part QuickBooks Certification course and have successfully completed comprehensive testing."  -- quickbooks.com
