You have a full year from purchase to pass, with as many attempts as you need. Correct answers are revealed once you pass.

“Working with Jeri has been a game-changer for me. Tax law in Virginia can feel overwhelming and confusing, but Jeri has a unique way of breaking everything down, so it actually makes sense. He not only clarified the rules but also helped me feel confident about making the right decisions. His knowledge is top-notch, but what I really appreciate is how approachable and easygoing he is, he makes even the most complicated tax conversations feel manageable (and sometimes even fun!). I couldn't ask for a better advisor.”

“As a small business owner I wanted a better understanding of sales tax requirements and compliance, I found the content to be practical, relevant, and easy to follow. The course was broken down into manageable lessons and used real-world examples that helped me connect the concepts to my business. I highly recommend it to business owners, accounting professionals, and anyone responsible for sales tax compliance.”
