My professional background has been in the counselling and education fields. I am a self-admitted “Math Nerd” with a twisted sense of humour! Just over 5 years ago I started my own bookkeeping business on a part -time basis working under the wing of the “Queen of Bookkeeping”, Edna Tobey. I began contracting work with her existing client base, using Sage 50, and truly enjoying the logic the numbers provide. I also appreciate the flexibility operating my own business provides me, so I can meet with clients when they have the time, and I can still be available to my family. I absolutely LOVE bookkeeping, weird, I know! I now operate Fortuity Bookkeeping Services full time from my home office and I provide everything from part -time services, quarterly & government remittance assistance, telephone advice, ground-up & Sage One-On-One training, to full Office Management Services for a variety of businesses in Pictou County. I thrive when I am educating my clients, when I am helping them get the most out of their bookkeeping services and learn more efficient ways of doing things. I want my clients to succeed! Teaching new business owners to set up and maintain their own bookkeeping system at CBDC-NOBLis a wonderful way to witness empowerment in action. “Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision” ~Peter F. Drucker

About Laura MacDougall
"The course content has been very applicable to staff training requirements for our small business, and in combination with the scheduling flexibility and cost, I highly recommend Workplace Education training for employee skills development. Our staff was implementing the skills obtained from Workplace Education, on local and export projects, while participating in the course.
The instructors customize the course material not only from their own real-world experience, but also based upon the class composition. The instructors strive to incorporate the objectives of the individual participants towards the common benefits of the entire group."
