This course was well put together. I used to feel so intimidated by finances. The interactive videos and practice exercises do a fantastic job of explaining concepts learned throughout this course.

Real Nuts and bolts plus learning the actual principles and assumptions that few courses teach. The use of Bianca and her Bookkeeper Re$cue service as a vehicle of a mentor makes the whole learning process friendlier and less threatening.

This course was so necessary for me. The visuals and tutorials were great. This really clarified all the principles and calculations I've done in my college courses and brought them into real life scenarios. It was really fun! Thanks.

A few weeks ago, I had a very loose understanding of the lessons taught in the bookkeeping basics course. I feel very prepared to continue into the bookkeeping academy course. The presentation of material was nothing short of excellent!

Thanks so much for the course! It was very useful, informative and easy! All the difficulties and mistakes were due to not quite correct translation on my part. I need to improve my level of English, which is what I am working on now.

I do learn in this course and gain a lot of knowledge in bookkeeping in a Layman's term that's why I did not have a hard time completing every practical exam at the end of the week's course. Thank you for doing such a thing like this.

I have been paying for classes with an online college and even though the information is the same, those class videos are 8+ years old and difficult to understand. I immediately grasped the information with this course though.

The course gave an adequate overview of the subject matter and provided relevant examples. I would recommend the student also review the introductory chapters of an accounting book to ground key concepts and do more examples.

The only thing missing is a trial in completing the entire bookkeeping cycle. A little more practice preparing journal entries, general ledger, trial balances, and profit and loss statement would be most helpful. :-)

Even though I have taken college accounting courses, I learned a new, easier way to do things here. A bookkeeper's perspective is a little different from an accountants, so I am so grateful to have had this course!

This was a refresher course I had already taken a Financial Accounting course last year for my Undergraduate Certificate so I knew most but not all of the information. I enjoyed this course. On to the next course!

The course is presented well. I learned in bite sizes which is not overwhelming and makes you want to get another bite. The videos are not just informative but entertaining. This is a very effective way to learn.
