And other financial information. Double-quiz lets you practice finding and retrieving financial information fast!

A good book to use when one wants to learn adjusting entries very well. It’s a sort of an icebreaker. I read it in a couple of days.

Very good book .I used it as a review Of A course I took with Penn foster school. There course was fair except it didn’t prepare for final exam. This required end of month/year balance sheets, I couldn’t get the numbers they came up with so there course lacks some. I’m starting over but useing your course this time and taking the exams while I have the info clear in my head. I.m making sure I.m prepared for bookeeping as I have never done office type work before.Physical Health has forced me to stop working. My goal is use yuor books and get going in new direction. I have found tho I need computer courses also to succeed. I.m shooting for one year of your course to prepare for back to work. Willard hendrickson
