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.

Thank you for the excellent presentation of the material: clear, unhurried pronunciation, pictures, and diagrams with captions. Your little assistant is great!

Easy to understand, I enjoyed the example of Grandma's checkbook :)
By Aaron Michael Levisay on 1/6/2025
I really loved the course. Mr. Smolen is funny, yet goes slowly enough, to really make the course great for regular people. Thank you so much!!

By Gardy Elabree on 1/3/2025
It's Great!! It's so clear. I never saw such a cool explanation of accounting. It was a great idea to make it a family course and making it funny really helps.

You can just tell that the instructor really wants you to get this. I feel like I'm in good hands.
By Oleksandr Omelechko on 12/30/2024
Everything is very clear. We do step by step something but I don't know what will be the final result. It would be perfect if you show at the beginning what we will receive at the end of the course.
By Andrea K. Mahi on 12/23/2023
Its ok so far. I am very frustrated with the quickbooks sign up process however and am trying to mitigate that.
By Alicia Nannette Campbell on 1/22/2022
This information is good and needed to understand what you are doing. I'm so glad I took this course. Thank you.
By Roseann Eschrich on 12/24/2020
This is a good course for true beginners who would like to keep track of their personal finances on QuickBooks online. Very clear instructions on how to enter simple transactions. The only thing I think would be better was if it showed how to keep track of payroll deductions from regular paychecks. This does show how to enter a paycheck using the basic take-home pay amount.
