Frequently Asked Questions

We can customize the course to your needs. Whether you need to learn all of the basics or just a few, or you’re more confident in other areas, we take the time to listen to your needs and goals during our consultation and adjust as required

Yes. We can use your preferred cloud accounting software choice – QuickBooks, FreshBooks, or Xero. All of the subjects are taught through the software and not as a separate software training course.

Although it’s not a prerequisite, it’s easier to learn if you come in with your own bookkeeping clients that we can use as an example for step-by-step tutorials. Without real clients, we will need to use a test company file on the accounting software, which has many restrictions. With your own clients, training is more effective.

Each session comes with assignments that Sal will assign. If you’re stuck on an assignment, email support is available for quick questions. You can email Sal and she will help you through the assignment with either a written email or a 1-2 minute video. If the problem is complex, Sal will cover it live through a session.

Case Study

Tosin Founder Case Study

“Sal is amazing. She helped me with bookkeeping best strategies, marketing, and social media marketing. Sal shared her own business bookkeeping contents and checklists with me. To be honest, it’s so hard to find someone you can trust that’s amazing at strategy but also execution. Sal is it! She listened to me on calls, provided guidance and helped me recognize areas for improvement. I also gained marketing skills I didn’t have before. She over-delivers to help me reach my ultimate goal and doesn’t give the bare minimum. I feel so fortunate that I met Sal – and to be working with her.” I will be hiring Sal again and again. In fact, we have another call booked in two weeks. “

What our client says

I recently entered into a roll at work that is totally new to me. I reached out to Sal for her QBO Training and she was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions I had. We did half the training one day and i felt too overwhelmed so we decided to reconnect the following week and I had more of an idea as to what i would be doing on QB for my job and we dove into that and I feel much more confident now! Definitely recommend Sal!!!
