FRx Training 1 Day JumpStart

The One Day FRx JumpStart is a shorter version of the 2 day FRx Training course. I used to come onsite for this, but it was just too much travel and expense for 1 day, so this is now a remote course. Via a remote connection to your installation, I’ll complete your trial balance, balance sheet and income statement while telling you what I’m doing and why. You watch and learn and ask questions and help me with any account mapping issues. You know your chart of accounts better than I do!

This is a partial list of what you’ll learn in the 1 Day FRx JumpStart Training:

  • How to most efficiently navigate FRx
  • How to create reports with drilldown capability
  • How to view an existing report without regenerating it
  • How to use a check total to ensure accuracy
  • How to create departmental P&Ls
  • The 2 methods to use when a report is out of balance
  • Flexibility: the relationship between the row format and reporting trees
  • Exporting to Excel so that each location, division, or department is on its own worksheet
  • How to best deal with FRx’s archaic printing capabilities
  • How to round a balance sheet
  • How to create calculations and the easiest way to format them
  • Most-used settings in the catalog and header
  • The two regular actions that will prevent FRx corruption

I start with a trial balance and convey the most-often used concepts and tricks, winding up with a bottom line net income with which to tie out the remaining reports.

Which reports will we complete? I’ll finish your Balance Sheet and Income Statement as well as a Trial Balance.

If you’re interested, here’s what I need to know:

  1. What’s your FRx version? (Help>About 6.7.xxxx)
  2. What’s the experience of users (beginner, intermediate)?
  3. How many users are to be trained?
  4. Are there any specific issues you want covered?
  5. I’ll need sample reports and your chart of accounts.

Cost—The one day JumpStart is usually $2,000.

About

Hey! I'm a CPA and I specialize in Management Reporter and FRx. [Sometimes with a side of snark.] I've been doing this for 22 years (yikes). But when I'm not working I can be found reveling in live music & pizza trailers at home in Austin Texas! —Jan Lenoir Harrigan More

Learn Management Reporter

Why fight with Microsoft's manual? Life is too short as it is.

My first manual—4 foundation reports:
covers-i-2d
My second manual—12 more reports:
covers-ii-2d
My third (and hopefully last) manual—cashflow:
covers-iii-2d

All Hat, No Cattle?

Watch out—a few unscrupulous consultants are lifting copyrighted original content from several sites, this one included, and passing it off as their own. I'm hacked off and I don't mind naming names. Bottom line—be very careful about whom you hire!

"If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur."
—Red Adair

Who I Work With

I work with zillions of companies who run Dynamics GP, AX and SL.

And lots of other consultants.

So I work with accountants who need accurate financials to help close the books. Not to mention present to the Board.

I don't sell or install MR. [How smart am I?]

FRx is Toast

FRx is toast—and I hope you're getting rid of it soon—but just in case someone still needs to learn it:

  • FRx in 8 Hours—Introduction 
  • FRx in 8 Hours—Intermediate

BTW, if you're on Dynamics, you can migrate to MR, but you should know there are other options. Choose what's best for you.

New to MR?

Here are 3 essentials to know before you start.

Background—back in the day, FRx was a famous midmarket report writer from a small agile company in Colorado. Then it got acquired. [Sigh]

Now it's owned by Microsoft. They rewrote it and rebranded it Management Reporter.

The two are very much alike and much of the FRx content here also applies to MR.
