This course provides business owners, self-employed individuals, freelancers, and gig workers an introduction to the basics of accounting and bookkeeping.

Ultimately, by completing this course, you will be able to better understand your business performance, read and understand financial statements, and understand the process of developing your business financial forecast.

By the end of this course you will have learned:

I use a demo company, Excel, and QuickBooks Online to illustrate accounting concepts in the real world. I hope you have as much fun learning through this course as I had creating it.
