Accounting Made Easy

Professional Bookkeeper™ Program: Module #1

(4 DVDs)

Learn accounting with the Universal Accounting® Course

Purpose: To help you learn or review the fundamentals of the accounting and bookkeeping process.
Average time to complete: 12 Hours

Universal's home study course, Accounting Made Easy, reviews some of the basic concepts in accounting while introducing some aspects of small business accounting that even the most experienced accountant may not know.

For instance, unless you have worked with small business, you may not be familiar with the troubles associated with accounting for small businesses. Small business owners struggle, as a general rule, with accounts receivable collections. Not because they don't need the money – they always need it, but, because their customers are their friends. Universal's course shows you to improve collections without injuring that important friendship between the owner and the customer.

Often dealers of expensive inventory use unique financial tools to finance their needed product. This involves the use of “Flooring”, “Contracts in Transit”, and “Bank Reserve Accounts.” Accounting Made Easy provides you with a thorough understanding of how these accounts are used to benefit the business owner.

This is just a sample of some of the great concepts taught in this simple course.

We make it easy to learn accounting and bookkeeping skills.
