If you have struggled to understand and complete accounting tasks for your small business, a few pointers from a long-time CPA may help you to do a better job or find a cost-effective alternative. Common challenges will be discussed and (hopefully) resolved in this course.

Many small business owners try to keep their own books, due to budget constraints, without having any accounting training. This causes time problems for the owner of the business and challenges for tax preparers and others using the business’s financial reports.
