  1. Re-learning for my interview with a small accounting firm tomorrow. Anyone else had to take an exam for a job?

  2. Thanks so much James! I am trying to finish the Accounting Basics series and I hope this can help me organize financials for my small business. You’ve left a great legacy <3

  3. Hi! I know its been a few years, but I just wanted to pop a question for you if you’re available to answer. From what I’m understanding of all of the financial statements, the journal entries record every transaction that occurs within the business. You then have to record each of these transactions twice more, twice each, into the general ledger and the trial balance. Then you can go on to use the general ledger to fulfill the balance sheet, and use the trial balance to fill out the P&L statement as well as the cash flow statement. is this all correct? I guess my biggest question is just knowing how the sheets interact and fulfill each other. It’s feeling like I have to input every single transaction the company makes six different times across 3 different documents. Which I get it, that’s why there is now accounting software. But I am really dedicated to understanding the basics so I’m doing everything manually right now. Anyways does all of that sound correct? Thanks so much for your time and all the work you have put into teaching these topics. It has saved me!!!
