The University doesn't simply teach

The University doesn't simply teach, hand out a piece ofpaper, then push you out the door. It breaks down the course as a University should and stands beside you to guide. Then issues a sheepskin but remains beside you to insure that all is done properly and successfully.

So far so good

So far so good. Didn’t give 5 stars because I am not done with the course yet. But so far it’s easy to follow along and the content is fantastic. Lots of resources as well

I am very impressed with the support and professionalism that Universal Accounting provides.

Most companies just take your money and you never hear from them.

Universal Accounting will guide me to a successful future.

Outdated

Very disappointed in the content, several examples of outdated, limited discussion on e-filing in today's day and age that should be the primary focus. Several important topics "not covered" in the course and overall, seems like a money grab. Once you sign up you get automated emails telling you your status as if you don't already know that, and no further contact. The review questions are misleading and contradictory to what's in the lessons. Overall, very disappointed at this price point I expected a far better service.

Thanks for the kind words Wayne. Happy you've found the lessons to be clear, which is what we hoped. Moving forward, just remember "baby steps". We suggest dedicating 1 hour a day.

This is BY FAR the best free course I have taken. The videos are engaging and packed full of useful and ACTIONABLE information. It made me confident to know that I would get my money's worth from the other courses they offer, and I was absolutely correct. I think UAC is offers the best training at the right price.

Precise and Informative

The call with Scott Feldman was indeed informative and pleasant. During the call I was very surprised with how much we had in common as per places we encountered. Most of the questions I had were answered professionally. I look forward to our follow up.

The course motivated me to take control of my time. That can be difficult due to outside circumstances. But to the extent possible, I am determined to manage it carefully.

Program Introduction Experience

The representative Nina Shorter explained how the program works. She was very informative with her explanations. Christi Richards helped me to get setup for the GrowCon Conference. I enjoyed speaking with both of them. I am looking forward to getting to work.

Five-Star Experience Thanks to Aja

Enrolling in Universal Accounting was a great experience, thanks to Aja Jadama. She took the time to understand my goals and recommended the right courses to help me reach them. She also helped me set up an affordable payment plan, making it easy to commit to my next steps.
Aja made me aware of the resources available with enrollment, including a business plan and access to the support team—even for help with future clients. Her professionalism, knowledge, and encouraging approach made the process smooth and empowering. Universal Accounting is lucky to have her!

High pressure sales

there was no issue with the training it was good what was the issue is the relentlessness of the emails I got and the phone calls from people trying to pitch me on the program even before I had 1 day to work on the materials. at least give me 24 hrs. to review the materials before you bombard me with email after email and phone call after phone call.it seemed a bit desperate to get a sale this is why I elected not to invest in the program. Maybe focus on affordability and less on getting the first sale I figured if they were teaching you how to market your business then this would be the way they would teach, and I do not want to be known as a bookkeeper/accountant that pesters people into submission.

Hi Anthony, thanks for the feedback. Happy you liked the training, but sorry for the frustration. Each of your requests for information (different requests) triggered various follow-up emails and attempts on our part to contact you to verify you received what you asked for. We'll look for a way to streamline this in the future as each is seen in the system as a standalone request. Have a blessed day :)

I never received the book

I never received the book. I never received a link to the book. I never received anything other than a solicitation to buy the book. It is listed as a free resource on the website.

UPDATE: I am not seeing anything in Spam Filters. I am receiving emails from you, but I am only receiving a link that says download the book but takes me to a page that only gives me the option to pay for a physical copy with no option to download a pdf.

Jude, thanks for the comment. Sorry for the negative experience. I was able to confirm your request for the ebook "in the Black". I was able to confirm the related emails were sent, and we presume they must have gone to your SPAM folder as we've heard others have experienced. Following this, I'll resend the e-book you requested. Hopefully the second time is the charm.

UPDATE: I'll send the PDF for the book again. Please let us know if you receive it

Mapping the Business

What intrigued me the most was learning about marketing strategies for my business and sales. I was particularly interested in understanding the average fees charged for bookkeeping services, considering the client and company size.

I found exactly the information. Thank you!

I love universal accounting center this…

I love universal accounting center this school is really fantastic. I only wish I would have known about this school in 1996 when I first got my associates degree in accounting. Because of this school and with all the live help I am going to be able to open my accounting firm. I strongly recommend this school to anyone looking to pursue a career in accounting. If its about accounting itis universal.
