Career Changer - Former Retail Manager

After 15 years in retail management, I was burned out and looking for a career with better work-life balance. The Accounting Collective gave me practical skills I could use immediately. Within two months of graduating, I landed a bookkeeping position at a local accounting firm earning $48,000—more than I made as a manager with much better hours.

Current Position:

Bookkeeper at Regional Accounting Firm

Compensation:

$48,000/year

James Wilson, 23

Recent Graduate - No College Degree

I couldn't afford a four-year degree, but I knew I needed skills to build a career. This program cost a fraction of college and was self-paced. The instructors from Cummins Financial Services taught me exactly what employers want. I got hired before I even finished the program!

Current Position:

Junior Bookkeeper at Manufacturing Company

Compensation:

$42,000/year

Patricia Lee, 38

Small Business Owner

I was paying $500/month for bookkeeping services for my bakery. Taking this course was the best investment I ever made. Now I handle my own books confidently, understand my financial position, and save $6,000 a year. Plus, I can make better business decisions because I truly understand my numbers.

Current Position:

Managing Own Business Finances

Compensation:

Saving $6,000/year

David Thompson, 35

Underemployed - Multiple Part-Time Jobs

I was working three part-time jobs just to make ends meet with no benefits or stability. The evening classes fit my schedule perfectly. Six weeks after graduating, I accepted a full-time bookkeeping position with health insurance and paid time off. My life has completely changed.

Current Position:

Full-Time Bookkeeper at Healthcare Organization

Compensation:

$45,000/year + benefits
