To elaborate:

Intuit offers telephone QuickBooks support in a variety of ways. End users usually pay the company for telephone support though such support is free for registered ProAdvisors, accounting professionals who pay a fee to belong to the ProAdvisor Program. The Intuit support phone lines are answered by very nice call center employees in various locations around the world who are trained in "accounting basics" and "QuickBooks 101." Most of their knowledge comes from manuals, online help systems, and experience in helping other QuickBooks users with problems.

Intuit's Find-a-ProAdvisor database contains individual practitioners, primarily around the U.S., who may or may not work with small- to medium-sized business (SMB) clients, and are usually bookkeepers, CPAs, EAs, or IT consultants. They must complete an online assessment test for which they are given multiple opportunities to pass with a score of 80% or better. Passing this test enables them to be called "Certified ProAdvisors," which is the only way they would appear in the Find-a-ProAdvisor database. The certification test can usually be passed on the third or fourth try simply by knowing how to navigate the QuickBooks Help system.

Sleeter-Certified Consultants are practicing bookkeepers, accountants (often CPAs), EAs, and IT consultants who work with small- to medium-sized business clients on a daily basis. To become Sleeter-Certified, one must take a difficult assessment test for which the consultant has only two chances to pass. Passing the test requires a deep working knowledge of QuickBooks that can only come from years of experience. Sleeter-Certified Consultants are trained on an ongoing basis by The Sleeter Group, through the company's annual Accounting Solutions Conference, monthly conference calls, Webinars, and a vast library of topical articles. Sleeter-Certified Consultants have invested time and money in their own continuing education, ensuring the SMB owner of a highly professional, value-filled experience.
