I have neither the time or childcare to do a course at the local college (I already work in the day and on Saturdays and dh teaches inthe evenings) but I could do with trying to get the acocuntants bill down by doing the books properly and having more of an understanding of stuff.
I don't want to be a chartered accountant just be able to produce a set of books. I think I would need some motivation rather than just buying a teach yourself book, someone to give me deadlines or assignements etc.
