Andi is a wonderful teacher and this course has been so useful to me as someone about to launch a small business! I thought I had a good idea of what accounting looks like from the perspective of a self-employed person, but Andi really showcased all of the accounting possibilities in QB and I feel confident in both my general QB knowledge and in how my business' accounting is set up for the future!

This course is fantastic! The lessons are comprehensive, and the instructor presents in an absolutely clear style, with every step of the process included in every demo. The experience of the instructor shows, as she provides clear use cases for each functionality, and alerts the viewer to potential problems that may arise when using the software. She's also very clear about which functions are included in different versions of Quickbooks. Thanks for this wonderful course!
