Blackthorn Group CEO and founder Craig Dunkerley's mission can be summed up with one of his favorite quotes told by a mentor: "For me to make a dime, I must help you make a dollar." With those words forever imprinted on his mind, Dunkerley and his team show clients what it takes to operate and expand a successful business through seminars and workshops covering topics ranging from bookkeeping to tax preparation. Their QuickBooks training courses, for instance, show students how to use the program to set up customer and vendor accounts, enter sales and expenses, and reconcile accounts—all critical practices for any business.
