Session 8 Accounting and Cash Flow

Question:
"If someone doesn't know anything about accounting, how would you suggest they go about learning it?"

Stan Henslee
Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.)

Topics covered in this video:
Learning business accounting, community college, adult education, software

Transcript:
I would go to one of the community colleges, a regional occupational program or an Adult Ed class. I would just take the first semester of accounting which will give a good foundation and the mechanics of the double entry bookkeeping system. It will give you an understanding of the relationship of the accounts which I think would prepare you then for any of the commercial software programs such as QuickBooks or Peachtree and you'd have a pretty good understanding of what those programs are trying to accomplish. It may be in your area that some of the high schools offer an Adult Ed program that you could look into.
