Business owners pay for a QuickBooks subscription for months without touching their books.
The daunting task of learning to do their own bookkeeping keeps them from getting anywhere.
By the end of the year, there are thousands of transactions to be recorded and they have no idea how their business is performing.
OR they’re spending their evenings and weekends making a huge mess of the bookkeeping.
Before you know it, you need to hire a bookkeeper to clean up the mess and it takes them more time than it would have to just do the bookkeeping in the first place.
Or, worse than that, your year-end accountant spends hours cleaning up the books at $150 per hour!
We’re here to help.
This course teaches you to avoid the mess, simplify your bookkeeping and take back your time.
