This video is gold. It's so nice to get actual explanations rather than theory. The way you share good content makes me want to take your course. Thanks for your effort!
@@Unresourceful Thank you for the note. Please feel free to leave me your comment under my video. I think Bill already has some videos about Financial Modeling on this channel and his website you may check it out for now. I’ll definitely create video in near future.
Here in France and in Belgium, the Law imposes companies to follow a standard Charts of Accounts (Plan Comptable) where the 4 first numbers are the same for all companies, like 3511 is for all finished products inventory , then each companies will add their own numbers (given their size and needs) to create more detailed accounts (like 35110000 would be finished product A, 35112230 for another one), but at least, everybody working in the Accounting and Audit sector, can transition to any company and understand directly the accounts. Up to the point that in practice, among accountants, you will hear the chief accountant says to one of his junior staff "book this invoice on 623 and not on 624", without mentioning the nature of the account and he will directly understand (because we had to memorize them during our education)
@@TheFinancialController Thanks for your channel, it's really the best on UA-cam for controlling. Being myself a financial controller (also having begun as an auditor), here in France, controllers not only supervise the accounting but also prepares budgets, forecasting and business reports (sales margin for instance) : I saw your video about budgeting, it was quite interesting, but I was wondering if you could prepare maybe a more "advanced" one more focused on forecasting methods and sensitivity analysis on Excel ?
This is an Amazingly informative video for the financial accounting, kind of masterpiece. Could you please share your expertise on the COA design in terms of what accounting elements need to be there (e.g. company code, account, cost center, management unit, intercompany etc.) and how to chose them based on various industries. Appreciate your effort.
Could this be the definition of a calling? If it were not so, why did it seem so effortless on your part and so simple to understand on my part. Hats off
For deliveries that are not pay until the following week, what account should that fall into? Since there is no money received but it has been earned throughout the week?
For health care industry, doctors, nurses salary and benefits = cost of sales? you didn't mention about the sub-ledger accounts. I find that a lot of accountants dont understand how sub-ledger accounts work.
What is true is forever true and what is false is forever false. We cultivate sincerely for the benefit of ourselves, not for others. Even the Bodhisattva is unable to save a person with a defiled heart.
This is WILDLY overcomplicated and I don't recommend people doing any of this. I own a biz with 35+ employees and our books are setup much simpler than this. It's obvious why bookkeeping and accounting are so confusing to people, the "teachers" out there really don't understand how to pair-things-down and simplify things. KEEP THINGS SIMPLE. You're business will thank you later.
This accounting approach is definitely more geared towards larger businesses. I usually advise smaller to medium businesses to keep it simple as well. Too many details can be overwhelming. But as you scale, the details may become more important, especially when you incorporate more cost centers. I've realized accountants who work for large corporations think and teach differently from your bookkeeper who works with SMBs.

oh thank you so much for this kind comment!
Is there any website or platform that you would recommend that would help me enhance my excel skills?
Jim Halpert 😂 love it
For deliveries that are not pay until the following week, what account should that fall into? Since there is no money received but it has been earned throughout the week?
Can I pay myself if I put me on an specific schedule to work?
Great
Great video Bill. If you may explain what does WBS in SAP does vs. COA that will be great.
Is an “account” essentially a document that tracks something?
correct, it's a page (paper in the past, and now a web page) that tracks financial activity
i think there must be separate chart of accounts for Cash in Hand and Cash at bank.
No point having the former if you never deal with cash.
can you share this file?
For health care industry, doctors, nurses salary and benefits = cost of sales?
you didn't mention about the sub-ledger accounts. I find that a lot of accountants dont understand how sub-ledger accounts work.
Pl provide this file

Just google chart of account and make your own. But google it like this Chart of account for construction company or whatever your industry is.

After 10 years in accounting, and owning another business, EBIDTA is complete nonsense
