Student Feedback
I decided to take the Job cost accounting course to really 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 can tell you guys have put a ton of time, energy and love into the Job Cost Accounting class. It's enjoyable to watch, it's engaging. I like that there are print outs and quizzes. It's extremely professional and if college had been more like that maybe I would have finished it quicker and with better grades!

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.
