Get the Premier Book/Home Study Course on Bookkeeping, Written by a Nationally Published CPA, With Extensive Bookkeeping, Corporate and Public Accounting Experience. It's really a very good book! -R.D., Full-Charge Bookkeeper “I really like your course … it is such a clear and straightforward guide on everyday bookkeeping tasks… I think it's a VERY detailed guide for a beginner to intermediate bookkeper, I haven't finished reading the whole course, but I am already satisfied with it. I think I got 100% what I wanted for the money I paid - I wanted to know actual office procedures rather than accounting theory since I took some accounting courses in college. Because these procedures are what you gonna see on the job not the theory :)” -V.V., FCB-HSCE Customer Beginners - fear not! You'll notice the author wrote this book with you in mind. In fact, he wrote it with a high school graduate in mind - who knows absolutely nothing about bookkeeping.

It's good..., right-on and good. -G.H., CPA and Controller "Wow. I'm impressed with the organization of it. It's very well put together. I can't say enough." -R.N., Preschool Director What is a full-charge bookkeeper? A full-charge bookkeeper performs all of the bookkeeping tasks of any small business, including payroll taxes and monthly financial statements, with little or no supervision. About the only thing 'outsourced' is the corporate taxes - typically to a CPA. It's fabulous (and I've taken a bookkeeping course). -C.D., a Former Bookkeeper It’s excellent! ... It seems to be quite thorough, which indicates a lot of hard work on your part, GOOD JOB! -F.S., Engineer You've done such a great job giving the step-by-step and providing practical pointers that people would want to have… Very nice work overall! -D.D., Attorney It's good. I think you really have something for the emerging business. And I love the forms. -A.S., Business Owner I am a CPA in training... Your book on bookkeeping has been quite helpful... It has cemented some of the core concepts I have learned. - C.H.
