Tired of boring accounting and business training?
Been there! As a high school student, I endured dull accounting classes, making me question my choice of profession. Staring at textbooks, struggling to stay awake, and counting down the minutes until the bell rang—it was far from engaging. At sixteen, I entered the automotive industry, where I learned accounting the old-fashioned way, with ledger books! Trust me; it was an eye-opener! If you’re seeking a more exciting and practical approach to accounting, you’re in the right place.

Learning accounting is difficult when you have no real-world scenarios.
That’s why we start with a small service business that any teen can probably run – a lawn service. The lessons are real-to-life from the years my first two homeschooled children were home. Our son cut grass and our daughter created beach bags to sell. This course draws on those two examples. This is not theory we are talking about, it is real business accounting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which QuickBooks plan do I need?
In this course, we'll be utilizing the QuickBooks Online - Simple Start Plan. To get started, students have the option to sign up for the free 30-day trial. Additionally, there is an ongoing promotion offering 50% off the first 3 months when available. We'll guide you through the decision-making process to help you choose the best option for your learning journey.
How can I use the course for more than one person in my immediate family?
In the course, you will find a discount code for siblings that makes the online login available for just $10 each. This helps pay for hosting the course but also gives each student personal access to quizzes and a certificate upon satisfactory completion.
If you'd rather do the course together, there is no need to request additional login access. Quiz questions can be viewed on-screen with parents/siblings and grading can be done manually or verbally. The choice is yours.
How long will the course take to complete?
The course comprises fourteen units, featuring abundant content, including multiple videos per unit. Students have the flexibility to proceed at their own pace—whether taking the time to absorb all the information thoroughly or initially going through it quickly and returning later for a more in-depth exploration.
The videos primarily center on utilizing QuickBooks, while the supplementary resources shift the focus to business and accounting. QuickBooks serves as accounting software but doesn't delve into teaching accounting principles, which is why we incorporate the additional resources.
How many credits would this course equal?
I would say this course equals about 1/2 credit. You can pair it with a consumer math class to increase the credit load.
What are my options for use as a Co-op teacher?
In your role as a Co-Op teacher, you have a couple of choices. You can opt to download and print vocabulary, puzzles, and idea starters. The video segments can be watched collectively in class using a computer or projector. The cost is solely the purchase price of the course.
However, if you prefer students to possess an individual copy of the course for personal use, granting them online access to all content, including graded quiz results, you can provide them with a discount code available within the course. This code will reduce the price per student to $25. If their family requires additional copies, we offer a discount code to reduce the sibling price to $10 for each extra family member. Each individual with login access will receive a certificate at the completion of the course. This fee helps cover the expenses of hosting the course online.
Which payment types do you accept?
We utilize Stripe and PayPal for credit card processing, ensuring that no credit card information is stored. If preferred, users can seamlessly use their PayPal account funds. The process is straightforward and user-friendly.
