Bookkeeping from A to Z

Bookkeeping for business owners

This course is taught by Jeroen who hold several diplomas in business management and has over a decade of experience helping clients reach their goals.

In this course you will learn everything you need to know about double-entry bookkeeping so you can do your own bookkeeping. You will start from the beginning so you don't need any prior knowledge about bookkeeping (however if you do, that makes it easier). We begin the course with the more simple booking and increase the difficulty and complexity as we advance through the course.

In this course you'll learn everything you need to know to start doing you own bookkeeping from A to Z and we build a solid foundation that you can use in the future to perform bookkeeping tasks for your own company.

You will learn about the fundamentals of bookkeeping and much more. We discuss things such as the journal post, t-accounts, debit and credit. You'll learn how to decide what type of account you need to use for your entry, such as, is the account an asset, a liability, a cost or a revenue. And what does this account need to do, increase or decrease. These are the basics to understand bookkeeping.

We cover a lot of theory which is important to understand bookkeeping. And combined with the theory, we follow along with a fictional flowershop bussines to put that theory into practice. 

You'll learn what invoices are and how an invoice should be setup in terms of applying discounts, vat, returnable packaging, and additional charges such as delivery. And of course how to book outgoing invoices but also incoming invoices and what to do when you need to book credit notes. You'll learn how to purchase assets (investments), how to book these and how depreciations are applied and booked. We'll cover value added tax, what is it and how does it work in the books.

We discuss accounts payable (suppliers) and accounts receivable (customers). And what should you do if a customer does not pay the invoice? We'll talk about that to.

And what to do with business loans or money you invest in your company? How should you book sales in your store and how are these different from invoices? What happens if we deposit money in our bank account that we received cash in the shop? Ever heard of internal transfers? Current and non-current debts? We will discuss all of that in this course.

Last but not least you'll learn how to perform end of year bookings such as the trial balance, accrued accounts and more. To finish the course we'll set up a closing balance sheet, a profit- and loss statement and process taxes, reserves and more.

So if you want to learn how to perform bookkeeping for your business this is the course for you!
