Learning accounting can be difficult.  However, learning and knowing at least some basic accounting is crucial for success in not only the field of accounting, but also in the business world at large.  Furthermore, having at least a basic understanding of accounting can increase your marketability and also make you more competitive for jobs in numerous fields.  Unfortunately, the way that accounting is generally taught in college classes and seminars can make it even more difficult to learn. You start getting all of this confusing terminology thrown at you and then you’re expected to analyze transactions without knowing what the terminology means.  As a college lecturer of accounting, I’ve witnessed firsthand that this approach is often a recipe for failure. I’m also a CPA and a CFE with over fifteen years of accounting industry experience where I have prepared some of the most complex financial statements in the world, structured some of the most complex accounting transactions, and performed some of the most complex accounting work that there is. 

In this course, we will take a different approach as we start from the ground up and learn the basics before we dive into the more complex topics like analyzing transactions and preparing financial statements.  Like I do in the collegiate accounting classes that I teach, I will explain the concepts in plain and easy to understand language and we’ll approach learning accounting like putting together the pieces of a puzzle (while I give you important tips and clues that can help you identify what you need to know). 

In this class, I have included numerous handouts, quizzes, projects and assignments to help you learn accounting so that at the completion of this class, you will be able to identify and examine assets, liabilities, and equities, and you will know what debits and credits are and how they impact the different types of accounts.  You will also be able to prepare journal entries, record those entries into the various accounts, prepare a trial balance, prepare adjusting entries, prepare an adjusted trial balance, and then prepare and analyze financial statements.  Over the past seven years, I have helped hundreds of students learn financial accounting and go on to achieve greater success, and I can help you do exactly that too.
