This was a great refresher course from my Accounting classes in college. It helped to remind me of the “whys” behind what I do on a daily basis in QuickBooks.

I did not take the course since I had a great deal of prior experiece, however, I see a big need for this basic course for some of the office personnel charged with entering data and writing checks when they really have no fundamentals. It is surprising to find this but believe me it exists.

For anyone wanting to learn double-entry bookkeeping in a down to roots program, this study is a must. It was a review for me of my college accounting, and I was reminded of a variety of facts that I knew but needed a refresher.
