Webinars on Non-Profit version of Premier

Where can I get information on using the non-profit version of premier accountant?
I looked around for you for information I swear I've seen in the past, but couldn't find anything.
QB Premier is a great program for ease of use, generally, but still benefits from second party add-ons for a full feature set. In order to truly comply with grant authority mandates, I can only recommend that you have the whole system set up initially by an accountant with an in-depth understanding of how your particular non-profit needs to run. In fact, it's too important not to have professional assistance getting the system correctly set up - whatever software you use. However, it does not have to be terribly expensive and you can get a qualified volunteer to do it sometimes.
I think you are looking for some nice training module webinars, and I, and other professionals on these forums, could create them, but I couldn't find any out there already ready to go. I must stress that if an accounting system, no matter which program, is not set up right to start with, it can take more time and end up in much more expensive annual audit costs than to hire an initial accounting consultant to be sure it starts off correct from the beginning entries.
Sorry that I couldn't find better existing info - I prefer QB Premier, with add-ons, over most existing software out there, especially for the price - and Tech Soup can provide it at even better pricing. But non-profits suffer from a Group Think that encourages Donor software over accounting performance, and expensive single source solutions over more functional multi source solutions. And Intuit itself suffers from a Group Think that requires employees with a decade plus experience in $9 billion dollar for-profit software companies to specify small business and small non-profit software initiatives.
Perhaps you might like to create an alliance of some type to create specific webinars for your purposes, with a professional answering on these boards. Many have their information available if you click on their name (under their picture) and you can also search for them on LinkedIn, or Google, to see if they have the knowledge/experience you're hoping to find.
