Course Overview

Accounting for Beginners

From complete beginner to making your own financial statements in just a few hours!

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 for Beginners 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

Instead of just memorizing how to do accounting you will understand why it is done that way. That means you will have the tools to discuss accounting in a dynamic world.

You will learn:

  • Transactions

  • Journal Entries

  • Debits and Credits

  • General Ledgers

  • Trial Balances

  • Income Statements

  • Balance Sheets

This course also includes short quizzes to check your understanding. You will also get a set of Excel spreadsheets with a set of transactions to practice what you learned. With the practice Excel workbook, you will actually be doing accounting and building a set of financial statements on your own!

Imagine going from complete beginner to making a financial statement in a few hours of lessons!

Don't fear accounting, instead make it your strength! Take some time to work through this program today!

    I work for a nonprofit and have done bookkeeping in nonprofits for quite some time. However, I have not completed any courses until now. This instructor is easy to understand. He makes the topic clear.
