Student Feedback

I decided to take the Job cost accounting course to really just connect everything I have pretty much picked up from being in the office and around all the job costing talk for years. 

This course really connected everything for me and really helped with my knowledge in my company on the financial end and managing end. I gained knowledge in areas I thought I already understood. This class is a great course, and you even walk away with materials to reference.  

I look forward to finishing up the budgeting course I'm registered in and their new bookkeeping book.

Investing in your bookkeeping...

...SAVES the company money

Some experts estimate that it costs around 1/3 of an employee's salary to replace them. However, it may cost up to even 3 or 4 times an employee's salary to replace them. 

While the experts may disagree on the exact cost, training your current bookkeeper is far more cost effective than hiring a new one. 

...Empowers Your Employees

Your bookkeeper wants to do their job well.  There's nothing worse than trying to do a job that you're not properly trained for!
If an employee is not getting proper professional development, they will likely be frustrated and look for a job elsewhere, where they feel more valued.

...Increases Revenue

Investing in your team improves your company's credibility and efficiency. Both are key pieces to generating more revenue.
