Re: Basic Bookkeeping Course

It is aimed at anyone who wants to understand how bookkeeping works. Anyone who owns or runs a small business should understand basic bookkeeping, even if they don't keep the books themselves.

A colleague of mine did this course in February and learned a lot in the two days.
