Description
Feel left out when business discussions involve financial reports?
Does accounting seem daunting?
Does the accounting cycle seem strange and confusing to you?
Anyone involved in business will eventually need to use the financial statements. Managers in a business that understand accounting have an edge over those that do not. Business owners, small or large, need to speak the accounting language when they go to banks or try to attract investors.
You may think gaining an understanding of the financial reports and the accounting cycle that we use to make the reports will take you month. Some courses take weeks and weeks of long, drawn-out discussions of accounting. But to gain a foundation of understanding you don’t need a mega course.
You can learn the basics in a few hours.
Accounting Basics was designed for busy individuals who need to understand accounting but don’t have big chunks of time available in their daily schedule. Each lecture is concise and to the point. Most lectures are ten minutes or less. The course follows a group of small business owners and explains how accounting will work for a business such as theirs.
The small business cases we follow include:
a small service business
a food service business
a manufacturer
and a retailer

You will learn:
Transactions
Journal Entries
Debits and Credits
General Ledgers
Trial Balances
Income Statements
