CURRICULUM
Accounting Refresher Course
KEY ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS
Learn the fundamental guiding principles that accountants follow when understanding transactions and how information must be treated in order to properly classify and record transactions. This forms the basis to be able to create financial statements and interpret data.
THE ACCOUNTING EQUATION
You will learn about double entry debits and credits and be confident in classifying transactions based on the accounting equation. This equation is the basis of understanding financial statements and cashflows in a business.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
You will follow along with Justin as he works through a practical case study. Here you will apply the concepts from taking data, turn it into transactions, record it in a T-Account, ledger and finally produce a Balance Sheet and Income Statement.
CREATING YOUR FIRST TRIAL BALANCE
We will take you on the journey to learn to creating your first trial balance. With little background in accounting you will be able to produce it on your own as we explain the process step by step.
ADJUSTING / CLOSING ENTRIES
You will learn the basics of understanding accrual accounting and how to 'close the books'. By the end of this section you'll be able to walk the talk when it comes to adjusting to come up with your post-adjusted TB and close off the period.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
You will learn about Financial Statements and how they are used in business. In particular we focus on the Balance Sheet and Income Statement.
INTERPRETING FINANCIALS
In the final section of the course you will learn about how to interpret financial data and some common ratios that will help you assess the health of a business.
LEARNING FROM AN EXPERT
Most importantly you are learning Accounting and Finance fundamentals from an expert, Justin Lake, who has 20 years practical experience in this field and implements Finance Systems for a living. This will inspire you about how useful it is to be financially literate to be a success in business.
Justin spent the time working through the course materials in Financial Performance of a Company and giving very practical examples. It really helped me because I do not deal with Financial Statements day to day - so to help put the academic into practice was great Thank you Justin
Justin made the impossible happen for me. Never id I think I would understand (like actually understand) what and how Accounting works, especially with zero knowledge two weeks prior to my final exam. I felt confident and almost excited going into my test! I can't thank him enough for his efforts and incredibly efficient ways of teaching. Without hesitation the only tutor to consider! Thanks again Justin
