About

The Accounting For Everyone Bookkeeping Course is based on the 5th edition of the book Accounting for Everyone (scheduled for publication January 2011). The Accounting for Everyone website was conceived and written by Quentin Pain. Its purpose is to help people become bookkeepers, run their businesses more effectively or start their own bookkeeping service by really understanding double-entry and why it is the standard used for bookkeeping and accounting globally.

Double-entry is a great pattern that has been around in its ‘modern’ form for 600 years. The problem is it is not easy to grasp. However, with just some simple changes in the jargon, the whole concept falls into place for most people. That is exactly what this site does. Accounting for Everyone has helped many people pass their bookkeeping and accounting exams, and helped many more really understand the finances of their business. Enjoy with confidence :)
