Accounting rethought for non-accountants: the numbers you need to envision and to run a great company, finally explained

Accounting rethought for non-accountants: the numbers you need to envision and to run a great business, finally explained from your point of view.

Typical accounting classes focus on the back-end of accounting, which entrepreneurs don't need because Quickbooks takes care of that for them. What you want is to build cash flow projections, manage P&Ls, and read Balance Sheets. That's why this course will displease accountants, who don't need it, and will become indispensable for people who want to understand the real accounting issues they deal with on an everyday basis.
