Course Overview

Accounting Made Easy for Business Owners and Entrepreneurs

And for Those that Hate Numbers and Math!

Do you want to get a grasp of the accounting functions for your business or new startup?  Are you confused about where to start and what you need to know?  Are you the type of person that feels intimidated by the topic because you don't like math or you are not a "numbers person"? Well you are not alone. 

In this course I will teach you:

  • The basics of accounting in easy-to-understand terms designed for the small business person.

  • What you can and should outsource for your business?

  • When it makes sense to hire your own bookkeeping or accounting staff?

Financial Statements that are Typical for Business Success

We will also look at the main financial statements that businesses typically use and how they can help you monitor the performance of your business.   These financial statements are like the instrument panel on a vehicle that can help you understand where you've been and where your business is heading.

I have 30 years of accounting experience and I've helped other entrepreneurs get their accounting set up properly and explained everything in simple terms for the layperson to understand.  And I can help you too!

    I need more help with revising the meaning of debit and credit. My brain finds them difficult to remember, for some unknown reason. A close gap exercise would be useful for practice and revision.

    Larry provided helpful information regarding accounting, the types of transactions to record, understanding statements, and making sure to hire a professional CPA for taxes. There was useful information, that I wasn’t aware of, so I’ll definitely be using this guidance for my coffee roasting business.

    It was a very basic beginners overview but unfortunately it was too basic and failed to describe the concepts well/ give enough examples to help understand the concepts.
