We held our first class of the April – May 2019 4 week Small Business Owner Accounting School this past Tuesday evening. We oversold our class by two seats and had to scramble to get additional workstations available for the class.

Students learned some accounting basics and spent time going over the QuickBooks Desktop user interface with some introductory exercises.  We will pick up next week with the second session, which will have hands on exercises to teach students vendors, bills and check writing in QuickBooks.

Empowerment Works has taught 12 sessions of this course since December 2016. We have had over 430 student classroom or intern training sessions and have graduated 66 students from this program to date. We enjoy meeting and helping entrepreneurs with starting out on their path to economic empowerment.

We will announce our next session soon. Our next class will be small, and there is currently a waiting list of three individuals wanting to register. We anticipate that the next session will begin in late May or early June. If you are interested in taking our next four week class, call the Southwest Florida Enterprise Center at 239-321-7085 for information and registration.
