Start here. These lessons take you from the first launch to a company file that is ready for real work: the licence terms and the free trial, the sample company, creating your own company, the home screen, the chart of accounts, company settings, opening balances, and finding things with search and lists. Do them in order the first time; each one takes 5 to 12 minutes.
