 These flowcharts are dedicated to getting you the information you need to get an understanding of what this Bookkeeping Module is, why it was created, and what voids it fills. ​We do not discuss the user interface or specific software use in these flow charts. For a Video Introduction to the software interface and Basic Use videos, go to Offerings > Bookkeeping .

BK101.5-101.7 provide a very basic overview of the Google Platform, Google Account options and Google Drive.  When you put this Bookkeeping Module software to use on Google's platform, you get a glimpse at the future of computing for many small businesses. This software becomes a great reason to explore Google Platform offerings if you haven't done so yet.

Each section above could be expanded into a 5 minute, 15 minute, or even a 60 minute talk. ​ When in an educational setting, it might be best to very quickly skim these and get right on to the software.  Get the software installed and setup with their hands on it. Then circle back to this and dig in in more detail if that makes sense.
