Keep reading to understand what you are going to learn in both subcourses.
The first sub-course is your first big step to your business accounting journey. It is designed for all people who want to speak the business language.

Having the necessary personal finance literacy will help you to eliminate any financial uncertainty and build your bright financial future.
Some people struggle with understanding personal finance essentials because of a wide variety of terms. Therefore, I designed this simple and easy-to-follow course devoted to personal finance.
