Here’s what our students are saying…


"I am so glad I found this course! I am new to QB and bookkeeping but have found myself working for a startup company who is okay with me learning on the job. This course gets me excited to use QB instead of operating out of Excel spreadsheets, which is what we do now. My employer is even going to reimburse me for the course!! This is a lot better than reading a book!"

Very good instructor. I was using Oracle in my last position, my new position uses QuickBooks. I have used QuickBooks before. I wanted to learn the new items added and to brush up on QuickBooks. A really great class.

By Coni J Mackey on 12/12/2022

I thought I knew Quickbooks but found out it does so much more. This course was very helpful and I have a lot of clean up to do. I have Quickbooks on a Mac and unfortunately I didn't have a lot of the features that Windows had. All in all, extremely helpful and worth the time.

By CAES Elementary on 7/23/2022

I work for a small business. The first part of the course doesn't help me as I only use QuickBooks desktop at my desk and not using my phone. Looking forward to videos that will help me understand what to do, as I have never used this system before 4 months ago and I was just thrown in with minimum knowledge.

By Susan Case on 7/6/2022

So far, the course is what I was looking for. I have used QB before but only certain aspects of it. I am very pleased with the pace and the information provided.

By Albert Gascoigne on 4/24/2022

At the moment I would say it's a good match for me. The problem will be teaching an old dog new tricks. I am used to my paper and pencil and spreadsheets. This is different.

By Katherine Pinho on 12/15/2021

I like the pace...nice and slow. Stopping when I need to take notes is easy and I can quickly skip over the information that is not relevant to my business.

By Jairyl Quizon on 9/28/2021

I live in Canada and was looking for a tutorial for QB Pro 2021 but couldn't find one. This has been really helpful and the contents are layout is about 95% the same (taxes probably won't be). I'm really happy I found this!

By Ryan Browning on 5/21/2021

No previous experience with QuickBooks but basic understanding of bookkeeping. Instructor was thorough and easy to follow. Would have appreciated the course including content on time tracking and tax forms. Section quiz questions did not always correspond well with the section content.

By Natasha Dunn on 4/25/2021

This course was simple to follow. Cindy makes the breakdown of the modules easy to follow and covers a lot areas. Some questions are a little hard to understand in the quizzes. I think it was Module 5 questions in particular. Otherwise great course and seems very thorough!! Thank you!
