TOP REVIEWS FROM BOOKKEEPING BASICS
by JSJun 30, 2022
Excellent information! All of the information was easy to understand and follow. I loved how the program was laid out and the information included. Very comprehensive for basic information.

The course was set up very well but, I would have just preferred to have some sort of workbook that allowed us practice with every aspect of documentation. Repetition makes me better.
Thank you.

This course refreshes some accounting concepts I learned in high school, and also helped me to understand some of the rules of bookeeping which becomes much easier using software.

Great review of Bookkeeping and basic accounting principles. It felt good doing T accounts again. And, it was refreshing to hear accounts keep "cheat sheets" on their desks.
