My interactive bookkeeping and accounting tutorials are designed to blend in a little humor while at the same time providing you with a good basic bookkeeping and accounting educational foundation. No, you won't be able to pass the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam; but, you will at least be able to discuss financial matters intelligently and know what is actually involved when performing bookkeeping and accounting activities. They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Well my goal is to make you dangerous. So, if you want to or need to learn the basics of bookkeeping these tutorials are for you.

Why Buy ?

It benefits us both. A good "deal" is when everyone wins. You win by getting an excellent introductory accounting and bookkeeping reference and I win by getting funds to help support development of additional accounting and bookkeeping tutorials and tools.

Who can benefit ? Join the crowd and learn the basics of bookkeeping and accounting at your own pace using our interactive bookkeeping courses.

Owners and Managers
Owners and managers of small businesses who either need a quick review (refresher courses) or who need to learn the basics from the ground up. You don't actually have to do the bookkeeping but you do need to at least be familiar with the terminology and what's involved so that you can intelligently analyze and discuss your financial situation with your bookkeeper, accountant, banker, etc. In addition, you'll also be able to prevent being "snowed" by your bookkeeper.

Students
Students, high school or above, taking bookkeeping or accounting courses and having a difficult time grasping the concepts and material or understanding the instructor or teacher.

Teachers and Educators
Teachers and Educators who are looking for additional material to compliment the lessons from their text books and lectures.

Bookkeepers and Office Staff
Bookkeepers and others currently performing accounting and bookkeeping tasks who need a refresher course or need to learn the whys of what they are doing.

Individuals Responsible for Employee Training
The courses provide individuals responsible for training financial personnel material that can be used as an additional tool used to help educate their employees about the basics of bookkeeping and accounting. OJT (On The Job Training) is fine; but, it doesn't hurt to provide some additional material to aid in providing employees with the knowledge necessary in order to properly perform their assigned tasks.

Individuals Needing Accounting and Bookkeeping Software Help
Good accounting and bookkeeping software help to simplify, automate, and speed up the bookkeeping process. In this day and age, I recommend that even small businesses use accounting software. That being said, some time does have to be invested in order to learn how to properly use the software. While, the good programs actually don't require a lot of accounting and bookkeeping knowledge, it's still beneficial for those that use the programs to also invest a little time to learn the basics of bookkeeping.

Small Business Help Organizations
Many organizations, national as well as local, such as SCORE and others want small business owners to succeed and provide free consultation, tools, and other information to help. If your'e one of these organizations, consider utilizing my tutorials as one of your tools.

Anyone Needing or Wanting To Learn The Basics Of Accounting
Whether your preparing for a new job, just need a quick refresher, or have other reasons to learn about the basics of bookkeeping, this course is for you !

Are they any good? Of course I'm going to say yes cause I wrote them. Although it's sometimes necessary to toot your own horn, it's a whole lot better when others sing your praises for you.

A few samples of what others think.

Dear Mr. Marshall,

I just found your bookkeeping tutorials and I wanted to tell you ... I LOVE YOU! I've been doing bookkeeping for 15 years but I kind of got into by accident (I have a degree in English and History for pity's sake!) so while I kind of know what I'm doing, I don't really know how to talk about what I'm doing. I work for a small non-profit society in Vancouver, Canada and it is the first time I've had to deal with the audit process and your tutorials have given me the confidence to know how to talk to our accountant and know that I'm doing things the right way.

We use Quickbooks Pro and I've just completed a course in that and was dreading a bookkeeping course -- your tutorials allowed me to fill in the gaps in my understanding without sitting through another dry, dusty course.

Thank you so much for taking what must have been a great deal of time to write these tutorials in a way that everyone can understand.

Wishing you and yours the best, thanks again.

Yours,
Kerry Porth
Office Manager

Dave,

Quite by accident, today I found your tutorials – and, just had to write and tell you it is totally delightful! Years ago I taught Accounting at the college level, then spent about 10 years in a staff accounting position at a university, and now I’m back in the college classroom. “First-thing” in my next Accounting Principles I class this coming Friday, I’ll be giving them the URL for your website. I truly think your free tutorial about the basics of bookkeeping (debits, credits, etc.) will be both entertaining and informative for them.

Thank-you for all your work and your sense of humor in presenting the information. (You’d probably love my “bean-counter” Halloween costumer!) I’m still “scratching my head” in terms of figuring out how you make any money from all of this. But, I’m just glad you’re doing what you’re doing. Thanks again!

Dear Mr Marshall, or Dave (if you don't mind me calling you that).

I just wanted to write to thank you for your wonderful Bean Counter Tutorials. I'm taking a correspondence course in Bookkeeping and was having a really difficult time grasping some of the concepts because the course material was very vague and confusing and calling the school to speak to a teacher didn't help any.

Then I found your website with your Bean Counter Tutorials and they really helped me alot. Its great the way you combine humor with teaching. Thanks to your Bean Counter Tutorials I really was able to obtain infomation better and a get a better grasp of the concepts.

Thanks again.

Sincerly yours
Linda Mandel
