About this course

Most small-business owners learn accounting the hard way — after a surprise tax bill or a cash crisis. This course gives you the framework before the pain: chart of accounts, double-entry basics, the three core financial statements, invoicing, expense tracking, and tax set-asides explained in plain language with worked examples. Software walkthroughs cover QuickBooks Online and Wave. This content is general education and does not constitute personalized financial, accounting, or tax advice; consult a licensed professional for advice specific to your situation.
