My classes are not happening right now. I haven't had people sign up. Send her to the free once a month session though, it would be wonderful because she'd be the only one there if it goes as it has been. NO One signs up. I don't get it, but oh well. If you need any time from me one-on-one, just give me a call, phone number is on the website. I do on line training and consulting all the time, it's a great way to learn, we are on line together, i can see your screen, you can see mine, we can share mouse control and I call you on the phone for voice communication. A headset would be nice for her, but not necessary.

or pick up a C++ book and teach yourself

It is more powerful than QuickBooks but a little harder to use. It is easier to use than PeachTree though and does a lot more. They converted all of our QB accounting history too. The key is getting the software and accounting training. I resisted all of that at first but realized it is essential. You also need a great bookkeeper. Make sure your wife or someone you totally trust does all of the bank reconciliations.
