"Been a Bookkeeper for 25+ years and thought I was 'advanced' until I relocated and I had to get another job. Then I realized I did not have a clue! My current job I could not understand how things all tied together. This course was easy to understand and a true life saver! Worth every cent!" - Debbie H.
