Class Description

Description

This introductory course provides foundational bookkeeping knowledge specifically tailored for small business owners and entrepreneurs seeking to manage their financial records with confidence and competence.

Many business owners struggle with anxiety when reviewing their finances and handling record-keeping responsibilities. Without proper training in financial management and accounting fundamentals, it becomes difficult to track spending patterns, understand business profitability, communicate effectively with financial professionals, or make informed financial decisions about your enterprise's future.

This practical course addresses these challenges by exploring straightforward bookkeeping systems and comprehensive record-keeping practices. Participants will gain hands-on experience setting up business accounting ledgers, managing journals, organizing receipts and disbursements, and preparing financial statements. By completing this course, you will have the knowledge and tools necessary to confidently manage your own business finances, establish sound accounting practices, and communicate intelligently with accountants and bookkeepers about your financial situation.

Note: A materials fee of $40 will be collected at the beginning of the class.
