ACCOUNTING PRIMER

Contrary to common belief, Accounting is easy to master. There are 5 core principles, which - when understood - are sufficient to run your small business. Yet, the lack of understanding (leaving it to an Accountant) contributes more than any other factor to business failure.

MANUAL ACCOUNTING

Manual Accounting is time consuming, in-efficient and requires extra filing space. Yet, understanding the process is very helpful when we process the transactions using an Accounting Software. By simply knowing how to record a transaction will make reading the reports (making business decisions) a breeze.

TRANSACTION PROCESSING

Using an Accounting Software is relatively simple - if we understand the Accounting Principles and what happens "behind the scenes". If introduced in a "One Step at a time" fashion, it will make running your business free of frustration (the not knowing factor).

MARKETING

Marketing evolves as fast as technology does. We need to understand and take advantage of that technology. Internet now is (or at least should be) a part of any business Marketing Strategy. Yet, there are some core principles in Marketing that are as important to understand NOW as they were decades ago. The 4 P's that form the Marketing Mix often will make a difference to a business between success and failure.

MANAGEMENT

Management is normally associated with "Bosses telling Employees - what, when, where and how to do things. Yet, Management in a Small Business (even with no employees) is crucial to its success. Planning, Organising, Leadership and Controlling need to be understood. Condensing the above into a Manual, can give us a feeling of Being in Control.
