Common questions

The things people ask first

Lite or Standard?

Lite fits a quarter or an intro course, and its lessons need no QuickBooks account. Standard fits a full semester and adds job costing, inventory, year-end and payroll, and the work in companies students build themselves: every DIY exercise, plus the YinYang case study and capstone. You choose the course length when you set up a class, and you can change it later.

Do students need QuickBooks?

Not for the Lite lessons. They practice in Craig’s Landscaping, Intuit’s free sample company. Standard has each student build companies of their own, so they need a QuickBooks Online account. Teachers get free Student Trial accounts through Intuit Education and invite each student.

How does grading work?

The smart grader checks supported QuickBooks assignments against the answer key. You see each check, and you can adjust any of them.

Can I try it before I adopt it?

Yes. Open a demo class with sample students and their work. It takes a free account, not a sales call. The Instructor’s Manual and answer keys open once we confirm you teach, usually within one business day.

Does it work with my LMS?

You can download chapter test banks to import into your LMS. LTI 1.3 grade passback is available for pilot institutions and is set up with your LMS administrator.

What if QuickBooks looks different from the book?

The 2026 edition is written for the current QuickBooks Online. Intuit updates it often, so if a step looks different, students can flag it from the reader and we check it.
