Accounting Training
Every business needs an effective accounting department; therefore accounting professionals are always in high demand.

They enter transactions into the system, analyze financial data and prepare reports for management and investors.
The accounting technician program will teach you all the basic principles of accounting, including receivables, payables, fixed assets, payroll and taxes. We will also teach you how to use computers for business applications, prepare spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel and use the popular accounting software QuickBooks.
Upon completion of the program you will be eligible to become a Certified Bookkeeper by taking the certification exam offered by the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers (AIPB).
The program is accelerated, so you can complete your training in less than 5 months! The class schedule is designed to fit your busy schedule – you can keep your day job and take classes at night.
