Journal Entries Made Easy, an Introduction to Accounting is my new book available on Amazon.
Are you an accounting student or new to accounting? Or maybe you need a journal entry (JE) handbook. Then here’s an aid to assist you.
In the first six chapters I explain how accounting happens, the basic building blocks. I tell you about how financial statements are the result of the following:
The first six chapters are as follows:
Chapter 1 – Financial Statements
Chapter 2 – Chart of Accounts
Chapter 3 – Understanding Journal Entries
Chapter 4 – Types of Journal Entries
Chapter 5 – Solving Accounting Problems
Chapter 6 – Creating Good Journal Entries
In reading the first six chapters, you’ll gain an understanding of how accounting happens—even if you’ve never done any accounting.
In the remainder of the book I provide sample JEs by account balance (e.g., cash) or transaction cycles (e.g., receivables/revenues). Here are those chapters:
Chapter 7 – Cash
Chapter 8 – Receivables/Revenues
Chapter 9 – Inventory/Cost of Goods Sold
Chapter 10 – Investments
Chapter 11 – Plant, Property & Equipment
Chapter 12 – Intangibles
Chapter 13 – Accounts Payable/Expenses
Chapter 14 – Accrued Salaries Payable/Salary Expenses
Chapter 15 – Debt
Chapter 16 – Equity
