“I attended the one day Knowledge Plus “Demystifying Finance” course and found it both stimulating and relevant. In leading the participants through the course, the course instructor was clearly on top of her material. Her presentation style made it simple enough for all levels to understand and yet interesting enough to foster active discussion within the group. I highly recommend the course for anyone who wants to improve their knowledge of how their day to day activities impact their business’ bottom line.”

“It is one thing to be a content expert (which Karine is), but it quite another challenge to transmit that expertise to others. Karine succeeds so well by combining a rare talent for instruction design with a mastery of accounting and financial analysis and great presentation skills. I also really enjoy working with Karine. She is detail-oriented, committed to quality and a great collaborator."
