I have 2 decades of experience teaching Computerized Accounting. I have taught QuickBooks at A.S.A college in Manhattan New York. I have made my lessons available to job training schools for adult education and have helped place hundreds of students in good paying jobs using QuickBooks and other software that they learned in my class.
I am a permanently licensed teacher by the New York State Education Department. I am also a Certified QuickBooks Pro adviser for over a decade. I have made these videos by determining what my clients needed.
I wanted to help anyone using QuickBooks be prepared for the real-life, hands-on challenges that come with mastering the bookkeeping function of any company. I will prepare you for real life QuickBooks situations that can be challenging or frustrating if nobody shows the tips and tricks that will make using QuickBooks a fun task
I enjoy helping students turn frustration in to a feeling of comfort and satisfaction with QuickBooks. I'm always available to my students when they need me.

I have the 2020 version and am not able to follow along with the course.

By Lori on 9/23/2020

Great, just a few typos.

By Edwin on 8/24/2020

So far it's hitting on some very good pointers and issues, pertaining to advance payments and estimates

By Melinda Hatfield on 8/20/2020

The course resources would not open for me resulting in a frustrating and disappointing learning experience.

By Robert Duerden on 8/11/2020

its annoying asking me to rate this every 3 videos

By Kennia Gonzalez on 8/3/2020

I learned so much and with me setting up a company in Quickbooks was pretty detailed.

By Barbara Kirby on 7/27/2020

I like the course. Explained properly and clearly that I could follow through.

By Jessica Long on 7/3/2020

I have an associates in Accounting but the Quickbook software was not taught. This course has helped me broaden my education with Quickbooks. It has helped me with the things that I needed to know when it comes to being a bookkeeper for a construction company. Also it is very affordable. I love that I can learn it on my own time.

By Erskin Harris on 6/17/2020

yes

By Michelle Shelton on 6/11/2020

Overall, the course was worth taking. However, I feel like the first Section was more of a general QB course and not very specific to the Contractor industry. However, section 2 was 100% for the contractor industry. However, I was disappointed to see so many misspelled words throughout the course. I think that was somewhat of a distraction for me. Quality control should do a better job of reviewing these videos before they go live.

By David Petrozza on 6/10/2020

I WISH THAT THE COURSE WOULD HAVE COVERED PURCHASE ORDERS TO VENDORS. A LOT OF REPETITION AND BACK AND FORTH.
