If you want to become a qualified bookkeeper, want to run your business more efficiently, or want to run your own bookkeeping business this book is for you. The Accounting for Everyone bookkeeping course takes you from your first transaction right through to the balance sheet in dead easy stages, step by step. By the time you get to advanced subjects such as depreciation, accruals and pre-payments you will be able to grasp the concepts with ease. You will understand exactly how a transaction goes via debits and credits, through day-books and journals, into ledgers, the profit and loss account and how all of that is compiled into a balance sheet. Accounting is easy, it's just the jargon that lets people down. Throughout the book are worked examples and tasks for you to complete, together with blank tables for your answers. The bookkeeping course is applicable to most countries and also covers Sales Tax (USA), VAT (UK and Europe) and GST (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Austria and others).
