We use Linda's training to onboard new hires

Linda has been working with Northwest Farm Credit Services with Ag tax returns for 20 years now and has a customized class that addresses their underwriting tool as well. I gave her a try in 2010 and she was a hit.

By teaming up with other area Farm Credits in the Midwest we continued to utilize Linda every year or two for new hires. Now that she also provides training online, we have another option for our new hire onboarding.

Take A Sneak Peak At Our Online Training

Join David and Brian for a tour of our weekly live meetings. We rotate through eight topics in these meetings followed by case study work sessions.

Learners receive personalized feedback on their comprehensive case studies from our Senior Credit Trainers. We leave no questions unanswered.

David also introduces you to our modules, handouts, and quizzes.

Listen in while our Senior Credit Trainers, Linda and Robert, help learners better understand the borrower, spot and resolve red flags and uncover loan opportunities.

The participants were placed into teams to review an 1120S Balance Sheet for working capital red flags, liquidity issues and long-term red flags. This segment of the meeting is the presentation from each team of their observations with feedback from Linda and Robert.

This is unedited raw footage. Notice Linda has no problem with 'uncomfortable' pauses while she waits for learners to engage in discussion. And Robert is splitting his attention between the learner's videos, the balance sheet in question, and chat. Be sure to catch the funniest part of the video at 22:03!

Increase Your Competence & Confidence

Attendees report a 31% increase in competence and confidence in tax return analysis.

This means you make loans faster based on solid data.

Attendees work in small groups.

Online or onsite, our trainers check in with each group to ensure understanding.

When an attendee has a tough question, our trainers spend as long as it takes to make sure they don't just know the right answer, but understand why it is the right answer.

A boring topic made interesting and fun.

I liked the flow of the workshop. You took a typically boring subject and made it interesting and fun.

Why Clients Love The Online Format

CrossFirst Bank in Kansas sent a team to the Linda Keith CPA Virtual Training on Tax Return Analysis. Kevin shares his impressions of the training and their results.

Andrew attended Lenders Online Training as his first exposure to 'formal' tax return analysis training. It was engaging enough to keep Andrew engaged.

What Clients Say About The Training

Bulletproof with regulators

I just finished the audit with our federal and state regulators. They asked how we are handling global analysis of tax returns and I broke out the manual I got from Linda 14 years ago. It still holds up today as bulletproof for letting the examiners know we know what we are doing.

I still reference the book after all these years and am confident the training she is doing for us today will help my team as well.
