A $50 fee will include workbook and lunch. Limited seating is available. Interested persons should call the TAMIU-SBDC office at 956.326.2827 or 956.326.2550, or e-mail sbdc@tamiu.edu

The days of manually posting transactions to journals and ledgers are gone. Computer technology has ushered accounting into a new generation. The benefit for business owners is the opportunity to participate at a higher level in the financial administration of their businesses. 

Invoicing, sales receipts check writing, and the subsequent flow of information into a cash in bank register are among the important basic features found in most accounting software applications. However, these processes represent only a small portion of the accounting procedures that can now be done electronically through software like QuickBooks. 

The Nov. 9 Workshop will include the following:

• What is financial management?
• Easy step interview tips (new company set-up)
• Chart of accounts
• How to add items, customers and vendors
• Managing sales and expenses
• Budgeting and reports
• Resources and tips

For more information, call TAMIU SBDC at 956. 326.2827, or e-mail sbdc@tamiu.edu 

Office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Journalists who need additional information or help with media requests and interviews should contact the Office of Public Relations, Marketing and Information Services at prmis@tamiu.edu
