Aurelija – Armed with her AAT Level 2, Aura takes on book-keeping duties!
My boss wanted to give me some book-keeping work, he thought it would be good for me to take a course for the basics. I searched online for training and found Pitman, I made the query and André rang. We had a good chat, then I came back with my decision and got started.
