Yes, I'd like to practice that.

By William E Hamilton

The course takes you through most if not all the bookkeeping from making required entries for opening balances, credit and supplier information and notes, including modification invoices and supplier invoices and just generally gives one the feel on doing the job. It also gets one into making entries. Thanks!
