I don't know who you are or why you made this but I'm incredibly grateful.

I searched for hours yesterday and even chatted by dm to QB and they said I had to email them to get this done in 14 days. Then I came to YouTube and voila - within minutes I did what I needed...YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! Thank you!

Girl, you just saved a whole bunch of us $600. I love how this is broken down and nothing feels repetitive!

THESE ARE THE BEST VIDEOS FOR BEGINNERS FROM BEGINNING TO END. SHE DOES NOT ASSUME YOU ALREADY KNOW ANYTHING. LOVE IT AND THANKS FOR SHARING

[sherimatukonis]

Not too fast, not too slow... Seriously in depth and comprehensive... Awesome!!!

[shmince]

I waited through 4 hours of tutorial to learn how to sync with my bank (which she says, at the beginning of the video, is covered) only to find out that they stop the lesson before she gets to that point. Sure, I understand that you're selling your lessons, but if you are in the habit of telling me that I'm going to get something, and then after I've committed, you don't follow through, then I have a hard time trusting anything your doing. I will say, with fairness, that I still found the 4 hour class valuable and informative.
