Anyone can learn Accounting!

You can learn accounting if you get the good guidance and the right reading & practice material. The most efficient way to learn anything is to follow:

1. The right reading material

2. The proper order of learning. There is a lot of information available online, but to learn something new, you always have to start step by step. So, its very important to not overload yourself with too much information, and follow the correct way of learning.

3. The practice exercises. You need to practice as many exercises as you can till you believe that you have learnt and confident enough about the topic learnt

You yourself also have to be curious to know the reason behind the accounting process. Why do we debit, why do credit, and what are the reasons behind it? There are many online reading material available but nobody explains the reason that why do we debit or credit. Why are liabilities considered to be liability? Every question is answered in this course.

To learn fast, you also need to do practical exercises, which you will do in this course!
