Description

This is a placeholder curriculum for Finance Station's accounting academy. It follows a Udemy-style path: start with the language of accounting, then move through recording, posting, and reporting.

You will work with simple service and trading examples so the logic stays practical. By the end, you should be able to explain where a number came from — not just copy it into a report.

Who this course is for

  • Business owners who want to understand their books
  • Junior accountants and finance students
  • Operations staff moving into finance roles
