Recent Review:
Falyn H. says: "Really learned a lot in a short amount of time. While on a surface level I understand what a balance sheet is and shows, this course taught me how to actually READ it and understand the information at a whole new level. Something I have put off a long time. Glad I took the course, was painless and completely useful!"
Why You Should Take This Course:
The Balance Sheet is one of the main 3 financial statements, and its important for people to understand exactly what information it includes. There is a wealth of information on the balance sheet, and it contains several business indicators which are often overlooked. To be an effective accountant, CEO, bookkeepers, financial analyst or business owner you should have a solid fundamental knowledge of the balance sheet, its sections, and how to compare and contrast it to previous periods and other companies.
Become a pro at reading, analyzing and interpreting balance sheets!
