2025-2026 CE School Year

How do you keep track of the day-to-day financial transactions of a business? What are debits and credits? What do the numbers really mean, and how do you record them correctly? How are accounts labeled and organized?

In this course, you’ll learn exactly where the numbers go and why. You’ll be introduced to essential bookkeeping terminology and gain a clear understanding of how to track the financial activity of a business. By the end of the course, you’ll know how to accurately record every dollar that comes into and goes out of your business with confidence.
