Student Ratings & Reviews
I enjoyed this course, thank you
Very user friendly and easy to understand :)
It was helpful to deep dive into the balance sheet as we need to be able to explain it to clients, so good to understand it more
It's a good practice to regularly unwind the balance sheet to ensure that all balances are accurate, up-to-date, and reflect true financial standing. This helps in identifying any discrepancies early and maintaining overall financial integrity. Great Training.
The Balance Sheet explained well and in detail with practical examples. Great course - both for those new to bookkeeping and as a refresher. Highly recommend.
Great learning in a well designed and executed course.
