Guest Post: How Accounting Can Change Lives

Meet Lisa, Blaise and Regine.

Graham is the executive director of The Bookkeeping Center, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides accounting training to the low-income and unemployed in New York City.

Accounting skills training is good for anyone simply because no one is exempt from dealing with finances, personal or otherwise.  Every adult has to manage his or her finances and every business, no matter the industry, needs competent individuals to handle its books.

In fact, learning these important skills can also change a person’s life for the better. I know this to be true because I see the transformative impact of this knowledge every day.
