yes, I need to learn quickbooks and Xero, so this course has both which is great.
By Corinna McDonald on 1/13/2024
Do not take this course, unless you enjoy endless cartoon figures and objects polluting your screen. It's extremely irritating and not professionally developed at all. Personally I viewed 1% of the course in HOPES that the clutter would disappear, but it never does. I was denied a refund. This course could potentially be beneficial if all the foolishness was removed so that one could focus on the course only.
By Kumar Abhinandan on 1/28/2023
I learned a lot of things in this course as well as enjoyed it too.
