I am a university\/college graduate. How can Universal help me?<\/h4>

Universal founder Alf Bostrom began by training degreed accountants. During his 35 years of accounting for businesses, Bostrom noticed a deficiency in the training for small business owners through university and college programs. Universities orient instruction toward the needs of large corporations, ignoring the daily tasks critical to a small business owner. Universal gives accountants the tools to specifically help small businesses.<\/p>
