Please listen to me - You are here, at my site, because you have a need. 

I built my entire Accounting Career on these Building Blocks.  Having this knowledge allowed me to engage in my day-to-day work in a way that impressed my employers.

Don't depend on the Computer to think for you.                     

A computer is only a tool!

I encourage an Accounting Degree but now may not be the time.  

I suggest you start with the Basics.

I Know There is a Need

The Internet is littered with methods of teaching the Principles of Accounting.  Some are very confusing.

There are numerous books to teach you the Basics;  but then the burden is on you to figure out what the author is trying to say.  They can also be confusing.

My system is simple - I created it to teach myself.

Once you grasp the concepts, you have them forever.

I Know there is a Need -  so let me Help You learn.



About Me

Please review my resume.

Thirty years ago I was newly divorced and had a family to raise.  I took a job in an office that was outsourcing all of their clerical needs.  My career started by answering phones, preparing timecards for a payroll company and paying bills.  They had a manual set of books.  The challenge came when they converted from a manual system to a computerized system.  I needed a crash course in Accounting so I enrolled in a class called "Principles of Accounting 101."  I stayed in the class just long enough to get an introduction to Debits and Credits.

I became a Master of Debits and Credits and had no idea how valuable learning these concepts would be to my career.

I eventually received a BS in Accounting.

I have been a Controller, Accounting Manager, VP of Finance and Director of Finance.

Now I would like to teach you some Basic Accounting Principles and then share with you the "Tricks"  of how I mastered them.
