Reviews
Good course material. Made simple. Need plenty of practice.
Quiz a little unclear to do online without answer to questions.
There seems to be some missing information for the Case Study. The beginning cash account balance appears to be off, or there is a transaction missing.
A lot of great information and some practice but there really needs to be more practice and specifically more practice with quickbooks
