Instructor Details

Mark Smolen

I have 3 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 certified 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. Now, I've helped thousands of students from Udemy get great jobs or run their own business.

I am a permanently licensed teacher by the New York State Education Department. I am also a Certified QuickBooks Pro adviser for 2 decades. 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.
