    New to Accounting? In this video I will introduce you to the world of accounting by telling you a story. This quick tutorial gives you an introduction to accounting and explains the concepts of income statement (Profit & Loss), balance sheet and the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity).
    ⬇️ Download the practice file here: pages.xelplus.com/debit-credi...
    You will also learn through examples what assets, liabilities and equity are. I will also introduce you to the concept of the T account. This is something that we will look into more detail in the Debits & Credits video.

    You will follow a day of an Italian beach business and see how this is reflected in two financial reports - although this is a simple example, it can be applied to more complex situations.
    📊 What You'll Learn:
    ▪️ The essence of accounting and its role as the business language.
    ▪️ A practical scenario of running a business in Italy and the challenges involved.
    ▪️ The importance of systematic financial recording and analysis.
    ▪️ Key insights into financial statements like the Income Statement and Balance Sheet.
    ▪️ How daily business activities translate into accounting terms.

    As a person who's got a post-graduate degree in Finance and Accounting I must say that this is the easiest and clearest way I've ever had these concepts explained to me. I wish someone had explained me balance sheet in such an entertaining way back when I was a newbie. You really have a talent for teaching Leila! Keep up the great job. As an Italian, though, I can't help asking myself whether our friend Claudio holds a license to sell his stuff on the beach :P. Don't tell me please. Better not to know :)

    1. Any ways to do all Accounting using MS Excel rather than Quickbooks, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, SAP or any other accounting software?
    2. A Video on Cash Flow Statement.
    3. A video on how to Automate and get the Financial Statements with Raw Data like Sales, Costs, etc.. using Excel.
    Waiting to see your videos.

      Unless you have a very simple business, using excel will be a struggle and pointless. Accounting software such as QuickBooks, Xero and a few others won't cost a lot and are much effective and less prone to errors than excel. Most records you can still download from any of those softwares to excel.
