About This Learning Path

You can't manage what you don't measure, and you can't measure without clean books. This track teaches double-entry bookkeeping (the system every accountant uses), chart of accounts (how to organize your transactions), reconciliation (spotting errors and fraud), and how to read your balance sheet and P&L. By the end, you'll have a system that scales from startup to seven figures without needing an accountant to explain what happened.
