I had a basic understanding of double entry accounting from earlier in my career and had used a different accounting program to do book for a construction company that I owned. This was a terrific course and covered all of the necessary topics to handle the majority of issues that normally arise when preparing company books. I would recommend that anyone interested in pursuing employment as a bookkeeper complete this training as it will ensure that you have the skills needed for the job. C E Smith

I have taken a small accounting class before, so the concepts were not entirely foreign to me. I thought the material was well-presented, well-organized, and easy to understand. I read a lot of complaints about the animated characters, but I honestly thought that they helped make great examples of the content and kept it from being monotonous and boring! For the price I paid, I felt like this course was a great value. I am looking forward to the remainder of the courses in this series.

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Glad that I decided to go forward and take this course! This course was so fun, informative, helpful and I am having fun learning in the process. I was stalling with different sites and hesitant to go forward in doing what it takes to secure my future in accounting. One day, I will be able to say I did it and i'll be your future bookkeeper/auditor. It's coming and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Thank you, Coursera and "Bianca" lol. On to the next step!!!

I completed the Intuit Bookkeeping Basics course on July 30, 2023, before taking this course I don't have any idea about Bookkeeping. I think the quality of the content is good.

The course covered the essential and basic topics of bookkeeping. The course also included practical exercises and quizzes to test my understanding and skills. I learned a lot from this course

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn or improve their bookkeeping skills.

Bianca is surprisingly pleasant and easy to follow. Adding comments and further instruction by live professionals and experts makes the course feel personal. I haven't taken any purely online courses so I wasn't sure what to expect. However I did believe it was going to be rather cut and dry. A lot of reading and tiring exercise, after exercise. The format is very, very easy and inviting. I don't dread getting to the course. Nice job so far.

I thought the course was very informative. The course was easy to get through because of the reality TV show setting. Using a the business owner Lou to demonstrate the bookkeeper's role in helping a business owner made bookkeeping clear and less obscure to me. The teacher Bianca gave clear expanations of most of the topics and the real bookkeepers used throughout the course are very helpful in explaining the key concepts used in the real world.

I LEARNED A LOT OF NEW AND INTERESTING THINGS ON THIS COURSE. I ONLY THOUGHT THAT BOOKKEEPERS ONLY DEAL WITH BALANCING BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS NOTHING MORE THAN THAT. BUT I ALSO LEARNED THAT THEY ALSO ARE RESPONSINBLE WITH MANAGING ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, GENERATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RECORDING FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. THIS COURSE HAS OPENED MY MIND ON A LOT OF THINGS, I NOW ETHICAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF A BOOKKEEPER.

Thank you so much to the Coursera team and the Intuit Academy for creating such a valuable platform for learners to advance their education and careers. The course's style and format made it highly understandable, allowing us to grasp the concepts quickly. This platform is truly helpful for those looking to learn and improve their resumes in order to obtain an education, secure better jobs, and build a brighter future.

I truly enjoyed this course! I can't wait to take Assets in Accounting, Liabilities in Accounting, and Analyzing Financial Statements. Coursera is very user friendly, and the staff are awesome to work with! If it weren't for Coursera/Intuit's excellent courses in Bookkeeping, I wouldn't have been able to totally absorb so much about bookkeeping! Did I mention that I love Coursera's extremely cheap prices?

I am a complete beginner when it comes to bookkeeping. This course helped me to better understand not only the role of a bookkeeper, but also what a bookkeeper does from a practical standpoint. The case study at the end of the course was a little tough at first, but after some independent research and looking over notes, I understood how to properly use the general ledger to create a financial statement.

I learned a lot about bookkeeping concepts and practices. I like how the material was presented in a variety of formats and that there were practice quizzes throughout. The final exercise which involved entering transactions in the Genera Ledger , then the corresponding amounts in the Trial Balance and Income Statement helped pull a lot of the concepts and skills together for me.

Broke down basic booking in a somewhat entertaining way that was easy to understand and had the ability to review the videos if I missed something. Well worth my time and effort to learn basic booking terminology. I also appreciated having experts weigh in on subjects that related to the topic because it brought some realities of the job to the course for students to learn from.

This was a great refresher course for those who have been out of the workforce for a long time and had prior experience working with basic excel and accounting/bookkeeping. Many things quickly came back to memory and understood a few new concepts as well. Great course for those wanting to start a job in bookkeeping, finance or accounting to see if you have the right skill set.

This course is highly recommended for the newbie to accounting or to the experienced. I've been doing bookkeeping and accounting for almost 10 years and I found this course very helpful, fun, and engaging. I learned so much, it put so many pieces together and I wish I would have taken a course like this when I started bookkeeping. I'm excited for the next course. Thank you!

I've been a bookkeeper for 20 years but only worked on our the business we own. I wanted to refresh my skills and move on to working for other businesses so I took this course. It was a good review and gave me the confidence that I was doing everything correctly. I haven't did double entry journal entries in a spreadsheet since the 90s so their final was tough but good.

I thought this course helped me to clearly understand, step-by-step, the process of entering journal entries, understanding and working with Trial Balance, Adjusted Trial Balance, Income Statement, and more. I feel like I'm ready to try it out with my own company and/or as an entry-level bookkeeper, with an accountant overseeing my work, just in case I have questions.

Basic understanding of accounting terminology and engaging prompts. It's nice that the videos are not long and grueling, they're straight to the point. I appreciate the ability to go at my own pace according to my schedule. I really can't afford it according to the recommended time weekly and monthly fee. I am happy I can fast track to the best of my ability.

This course helped me understand and overcome my anxiety around recording debits, credits, and the like.

I like the hands-on practice. That was a game changer, and I would run upstairs to a bookkeeper friend babbling about what I had learned, and she would smile at me with an approving look and a sense of, "Yes, finally!".

thank you!!!

This course demonstrates the framework of accounting. After learning this course at my own pace, I understand how bookkeepers do general journal and general ledger in the good old times, and how they do it now with the help of QuickBooks.Now I know the accounting equation, what is liabilities, and how equity is calculated. etc.

I have to say listening to Bianca and Lou's dialogue kept me engaged. I actually loved their accents and the simple corny cartoons helped to pay attention to a boring subject like bookkeeping and accounting. The learning format was effective. The challenge will be to find a job in this field so I can apply what I've learned.

This course I found to be a lot of fun and very informational. I have an accounting degree of which obtained 20 years ago. So, although I have retained a lot of the knowledge when it comes to some of principles, I am a little rusty and really needed to brush up on it. I have thoroughly enjoyed this class so much. Thank you!

I am so excited to have learned so much from this accounting course because I had been a bookkeeper but I had no certificate to back me up. I will continue and I will take the Intuit exam in the near future.

I thank Intuit and Coursera for the opportunity to be able to accomplish so much.

Sincerely,

Consuelo Cabrera

This course was very self explanatory, if you are good with learning on your own this is the right course for you! I received my certification in less than 2 months, I didn't have to get on everyday because it's very flexible and it goes into details on what you will learn. I wish anyone the best with your courses!

The course is very interactive with Bianca Bookkeeping Rescue. I like the testimonies of real bookkeepers imparting their knowledge on the challenges they've encountered and at the same time advising solutions and remedies on those challenges. The guidance in learning the Quickbooks is also great. Thanks for this!

Great course - takes you through how to set up books from beginning and how to properly record transactions and follow thru with financial reporting. It does it using a case study that helps you really understand how to apply the basics to accomplish the goal of providing helpful information to the client.
