I wanted to pass along a little note about Lynn! She is amazing! She is a great teacher, I have learned accounting three times now and this is the first time I actually understand what I am doing and have the confidence to do it. She was approachable and eager to help. I am so thankful for these courses and I hope that they continue in the future. (AL, Truro, NS)
