Student Experience
This course includes a tremendous amount of useful information for tax preparers and bookkeepers who wish to gain a better understanding of what they are doing and become more accurate. My objective was to learn how to prepare tax returns for small proprietorships, in order to expand my practice. In addition, I do bookkeeping for small businesses and was keen on gaining a better understanding of tax requirements, so that I could be a better bookkeeper. I have acquired a wealth of knowledge and feel a lot more confident about the services I am offering to my clients.
