Alf Bostrom, the founder of UAC, created our school with you in mind. During his 35 years in accounting, Alf noticed a deficiency in the university and college training programs for small business owners. Universities tended to orient their instruction toward the needs of large corporations, ignoring the daily tasks critical to a small business owner. UAC aims to give accountants the tools to specifically help small businesses.
