As the foundation of a house must be solid and well-crafted, a firm understanding of concepts such as debits and credits, journals, and how to record sales transactions are key to success in mastery of later concepts of Accounting. Module 1 of the Professional Bookkeeper\u2122 course, Accounting Made Easy, teaches you the fundamentals of Bookkeeping in a practical, hands-on methodology. You will learn by doing, the best way for the skills that you gain to stick. If you have ever read a book on a subject and found that you couldn&#8217;t retain the knowledge when you needed it later, you already know the value of learning by doing, involving more of your brain in the learning process. As you complete the practice sets in the Professional Bookkeeping course, you become familiar with the processes involved in day-to-day Accounting and Bookkeeping tasks. They become second nature to you, enabling you to focus on higher-level things. <strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/universalschoo.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/PBM1-Table-of-Content.pdf\">Accounting Made Easy &#8211; Table of Contents<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4f5481 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e4f5481\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/universalaccountingschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Smiling-Woman-at-work-400x500-240x300.jpg.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-27959\" alt=\"Smiling Woman at work 400x500 240x300.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universalaccountingschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Smiling-Woman-at-work-400x500-240x300.jpg.webp 240w, https:\/\/universalaccountingschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Smiling-Woman-at-work-400x500-240x300.jpg-80x100.webp 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bf7e94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2bf7e94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sessions 1-3 \u2014 Develop First-Rate Accounting Skills<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ad9fb0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6ad9fb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The first sessions of Module 1 of the Professional Bookkeeper\u2122 (PB) course teach you the fundamental building blocks of the accounting process. You will have a firm understanding of debits and credits. Though they make up one of the simplest concepts of Accounting, they are among the least understood. You will learn how a T-account works and how to balance double-entry Accounting forms. You will learn the best indicators of a company\u2019s financial strength. Since you are a company\u2019s first line of defense in knowing their financial health, knowing how to interpret Accounting data is of critical importance to your success and the profitability of your clients. Modern accounting has not fundamentally changed in 300 years. However, there are many ways to record Accounting tasks. You will learn a tried and proven accounting system that ensures efficiency, accuracy, and integrity. There are also Accounting tasks that must be performed in very specific ways and one accounting rule you should never break, which Module 1 will detail.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49453f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"49453f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sessions 4-6 \u2014 Consult on Key Business Issues<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77d9718 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77d9718\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Your clients will rely heavily upon you to not only record Accounting entries but to help them to interpret them.

You will learn the must-know principles of marking down assets and the what\u2019s, when\u2019s, where\u2019s, and how\u2019s of depreciation. Further, Module 1 teaches you three methods of depreciating fixed assets \u2014 when and why to use them and two methods of calculating the allowance for bad debts. You will be able to present the business legal structures with confidence and give some advice regarding which are best for businesses of various types.
