"Looking at the table of contents before and I was tremendously impressed about how comprehensive your class is. I am a real estate investor and I worked 3 years as a tax preparer for block advisors...I have not seen anyone else's bookkeeping class that is nearly as comprehensive as yours...
Thanks again for your class.
