Overall good content and great engagement from presenters and the audience. Great platform for hosting a virtual conference. Can’t believe it was free. It was free right? Especially when compared to Intuit Connects ridiculous conference fee. I remember when it was half price he cost. I would have paid $100 for this conference. Just saying.
Liz Lopez

The FC classes were amazing and helped us use the system better.
Betty Moss
First, I am not the accountant; however, her assistant, & I have several years of experience in marketing, sale, customer service, & some QB. I attended most of the sessions, & they were all outstanding! I think the best for our team was the workflow streamlining & detail about Financial Cents. We look forward to accessing the entire Webinar on UTube. Thanks!
