In the mid-nineties, Sue's entreprenurial drive came alive when she started her own accounting consulting business. Her business provided business start-up, bookkeeping and accounting services and Simply Accounting by Sage® software support. After a few years of success, she found the need in the business community for accounting training. She researched, outlined, developed and instructed both Simply Accounting by Sage® courses and workshops and a bookkeeping training course. Her business and courses were recognized and registered with the Private Post Secondary Education Commission of British Columbia.
Sue sold her business in British Columbia and moved to Ontario where she started up her second accounting, consulting and training business.
