"Money Matters Bootcamp” returns to the Stafford School of Business (SSB) at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College May 28 and 29, with expanded content and a new path to earning a unique certification.

The school will offer a two-day QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Excel workshop to help participants build stronger financial management skills with two of the most widely used accounting software programs in the industry.

The workshop is scheduled for May 28-29 at Lewis Hall on ABAC’s Tifton campus, 2802 Moore Highway, Tifton, GA 31793.

Participants will earn one badge for participation, which is part of a new certification program at the SSB. After earning three badges, participants will receive a Stafford School of Business Certification. The certification will communicate proficiency and flexibility in a variety of business-focused skills. Badges will be offered at all “Money Matters Bootcamp” events, as well as other select workshops.

“The SSB is excited to offer a certification to go along with the knowledge provided by attending our sessions.” Said Dr. Yasemin Atinc, dean of the Stafford School of Business. “We will track progress toward the certification for participants and will provide documentation once earned.”

Session content will focus on QuickBooks and Microsoft Excel applications for profit-based and small businesses. Participants must bring their own laptop to take part in the interactive sessions.

Throughout the bootcamp, attendees will learn how to monitor expenses, organize revenue, and improve financial reporting through the two programs. The sessions will provide hands-on instruction designed to help participants confidently navigate the programs’ features and tools. Participants will have access to a 30-day QuickBooks trial to continue practicing after the workshop concludes.
