The Seminar also draws together information on the various government schemes available to help direct the aspiring entrepreneurs as well as existing business owners in growing their business.

QuickBooks ProAdvisor and Client Appreciation Event

The key members of GAAP International were specially invited by Intuit Singapore to attend an exclusive reception held at Ion Sky on 8th Nov 2011. The event hosted around 50 guests comprising of existing QuickBooks Online (QBO) customers and business partners of Intuit Singapore.  Intuit’s inspirational leader and CEO, Mr Brad Smith was present to give the opening address and to interact with the guests.

The event provided a great opportunity for us to speak with the members of the Intuit team and experience the new features of QBO. Along with the other guests present, we participated in a series of mini games. The “Wish List” Game was exceptionally interesting. In that game, we were given the chance to select new features that we would like to have in QBO by filling in dollar bills of different amounts and placing them into respective boxes of each feature.
