What Accounting and Bookkeeping Tutorials Should I Take and In What Order ?
It depends. Boy, I copped out on that answer didn't I ? Well it really does, because to properly answer the question depends on what you already know about bookkeeping and accounting and why you need or want to take the tutorial(s).
- Beginners
For true beginners (newbies) , you should begin with the the Introductory Bookkeeping Course - So, you want to learn Bookkeeping!. I also recommend that after completing the introductory bookkeeping lessons, that you add to and reinforce the accounting and bookkeeping knowledge that you've acquired by taking the - So, you want to learn Bookkeeping! - Chart Of Accounts and Special Journals tutorials. These three tutorials should provide you with a good basic understanding of bookkeeping and accounting and the records used. If you're using bookkeeping or accounting software (which I hope most businesses are) , it will also enlighten you as to what is actually taking place behind the scenes when you are entering data.
The other four accounting courses, Financial Statements Analysis, Inventory, Payroll, and Cash can be taken in any order that you want and depend on you. If you work with or need to know about financial statements - take the Financial Statements Analysis Course. If you work with or need to know about inventories - take the Inventory Course. If you work with payroll or need to learn about the government's laws and regulations - take the Payroll Course. Lastly, I do recommend that everyone take the Cash Course since cash along with profits are major keys to the success or failure of a business. The Cash Course also provides you with a free Cash Forecasting Template.
- Owners and Managers
Owners and managers need to begin with my new Bookkeeping for Owners Course. In addition take the Introductory Bookkeeping, the Financial Statements Analysis, and the Cash Courses. These four courses will at least give you a "working knowledge" of accounting and bookkeeping concepts, financial statements, and also show you why cash is critical to the success of a business. While the other courses are optional, I recommend at least browsing thru the additional courses.
