Quickbooks Accounting Setup & Questions Answered

If I could walk away with a fully prepared/properly set-up Quickbooks, integrated into my website, financial platforms, and bank account, along with the knowledge to reconcile transactions/begin a proper monthly accounting process, that would be incredible. I want to ensure my chart of accounts includes the proper items, and that I learn how to best account for restricted/unrestricted funds, grants, programming, administrative expenses, donor income, reimbursements, and eventually year-end Form 990 reporting. I also have questions about general best accounting/finance practices when working with and paying contractors (regarding invoicing, etc).
