I could never wrap my head around debits and credits and when to do either. I can’t believe how this book broke it down into steps that I could understand. Something that has intimidated me for so many years is now clear as a bell. Thank you!!!!!

I’m using this book to help new data entry staff members who may not have any formal education to get the basics down of debits and credits. This book does a great job of simply explaining and demonstrating the how’s and why’s of bookkeeping entries.

I thought the course was a good review if you were already trained in double-entry bookkeeping. That said, I think the course would be better if it included additional basic/introductory lessons to help those whose first training was 30 years ago.

Excellent course. Orients the student to how each entry relates to overall statements and provides a solid easily understood foundation. Great review for experienced bookkeepers as well if you have not worked for a while.
