I have never taken the time to write a Yelp review, but I just had to this time because I had such a great experience taking the QuickBooks 2015 Level 1 PC class with Paul! I took another level 1 class a year ago and felt like I didn't come away with knowledge that was useful to me (I work at a law firm and the class was structured for a sales business) and Paul was great at addressing questions I had related to my specific needs. Also, he is clearly a passionate teacher and it was infectious! I am a writer/performer by night and a bookkeeper to pay the bills, so I am not someone who thought I could ever be engaged in this kind of work, but Paul made the subject accessible and easy to understand. I somehow wasn't bored and I left the class feeling that I can use the system with confidence!

The only place to receive comprehensive in-person QuickBooks Online training. I prefer a classroom setting to watching videos and am so glad this was offered.

Paul is an excellent instructor: he was patient with all of our specific questions (he even skipped his lunch break to do so.) He is clearly knowledgeable on the topic, provided clear explanations, and the course pacing was great. Highly recommend!

Took the two day Financial Modeling Bootcamp. Extremely informative and useful. Smaller class size allows for one on one help and enables you to really understand the material you are working through. Additionally you build out a model on an actual company during the course, allowing you to perform the same kind of analysis you would use in a real office setting, as opposed to looking at generic accounting problems. Office itself is very nice, and the professors are extremely well informed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to develop, sharpen, or reestablish their financial modeling skills.

Great experience, I highly recommend for anyone looking to break into consulting/banking!

The class was kept small which allowed for easy discussions. Paul was a patient and excellent instructor. If he didn't know the answer he would find out during lunch. He brought up the main questions you need answered before one is to begin with Quickbooks efficiently. Paul showed the correct way and the incorrect way of establishing a business within Quickbooks. I look forward to my Level II classes with Paul.

This QuickBooks class was quite informative. I didn't have any knowledge of it and the instructor made it easy to understand. I plan on taking the advanced class soon and would recommend this class to everyone!

Paul was able to pace the instructions so that I could really get a handle on the essence of what QuickBooks is all about. He also was very practical in his approach so that I could adapt it to my needs at our agency.

I took QuickBooks Level 1 for PC class with Paul. He is a wonderful instructor, very knowledgeable, patient and kind. He was very detailed and also gave great tips in bookkeeping. I enjoyed his class very much and will definitely take level 2.

I took NYIM’s Quickbooks Online Level 2 class recently. I walked away with an undoubtedly more in-depth knowledge of Quickbooks (as well as good bookkeeping practice in general) than I had for the previous 3+ years of QBO use. Paul puts everything in an easy to understand, big-picture kind of way and does so in an entertaining, friendly environment. I definitely recommend this to anyone who has to upgrade their business bookkeeping/accounting systems and wants a more personalized, expert education on how to do so (with knowledge of the current tax codes, too). A winner in my opinion.

This is my second time around and I still think Paul is great. I know that i am now ready for the Advanced class!

Paul is a great teacher. You can tell he enjoys what he does by the way he teaches. He is very thorough and takes his time to help everyone and answer their questions.
Wanda M.
Paul is a wonderful instructor. He took the time to answer all my questions and tied many real life experiences to the lessons.
Bonnie G.
I took the Financial Modeling Bootcamp. The instructors are very knowledgeable about what they teach and encourage questions throughout the workshop.
Kelvin L.
Great Instructors Mourad and Garfield are experts in their craft.

I recently took the QuickBooks Online version in person. Classes are small so you get real personal experience for asking a question and getting a response from the instructor. They provide a PC.
My instructor's name was Paul, I thought he was wonderful! Besides having full knowledge of the QBO course, he himself is a Bookkeeper with extensive general accounting & tax knowledge! I really enjoyed the course with him.
The course is 7 hours 10 am - 5:00 pm with an hour for lunch & 2 - 15-minute breaks. Believe me, it goes fast! Not sure if it was just that day I was there but they had bagels, toppings, and coffee for breakfast and put out snacks during the breaks which was a nice touch!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to a friend and when I am ready to take another course, I wouldn't have to search for another institution.
Antonietta P.

The financial modeling boot-camp class was a great review for everything I have learned during my undergraduate studies and was also very relevant to my working experience. I also liked that the size of the classes were not too big; this allowed the participants to be actively engaged. As I work in fixed income and while this boot-camp focused on projecting stock price, the research and excel model/setup is very similar so there was very relevant crossover. All in all, I wish I had taken this class earlier this year. Great class.
Nico S.
I loved Paul! He was great, very friendly, very clear, dealt exactly with issues that would face my company. Between Arlene (client manager) and Paul, working with NYIM, as been amazing. Arlene was always quick to answer my emails and questions, and Paul was exactly what we needed. Being a small business owner I really appreciate good service.

This financial modeling bootcamp helped me round off my excel shortcut skills. All of the excel shortcuts I didn't already know; I learned in this course. This will help me work fast and smarter. I also appreciated the applicability of the financial analysis we conducted. We moved in a very timely fashion and this was a very productive course that will help me as I start off as an investment analyst.
John C.
This was a great refresher course for some of the deeper financial concepts I have not used since undergrad. I think this course is phenomenal for recent college grads starting off their careers in finance or budget. It's a great intro for learning to navigate excel shortcuts. I am 5 years in my career now and have never had the investment banking background but still have been a financial analyst and been involved in raising capital so the concepts covered were a great refresher for me.
Additionally the instructor did a great job with playing to the students in the course and our backgrounds and what subjects to go more in-depth with and vice versa.
