Who it's for
Firms hiring & training
Hiring and training junior bookkeepers can be challenging. There is often a gap between bookkeeping courses and real client files, particularly in today's bank-feed centric cloud accounting environment.
Public case study
Grand Gate Gardens is a long-running bookkeeping case study built around a fictitious garden centre in Ontario, Canada.
About the case study
A place to explore bookkeeping out loud
At its core is a realistic bookkeeping simulation — but the case study itself is much bigger than that.
The Grand Gate Gardens Case Study is a place where I explore bookkeeping out loud, in public, using real-world documents, bank feeds, apps, software, and emerging tools.
The simulation materials include realistic source documents, bank and credit card feeds, vendor bills and receipts, payment processor deposits, payroll entries, financing documents, and asset purchases.
