Accounting Principles


John Ugoshowa Business/Business 2008-05-05
View Detail
If everyone involved in the process of accounting followed their own system, or no system at all, there's be no way to truly tell whether a company was profitable or not. Most companies follow what are called generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and there are huge tomes in libraries and bookstores devoted to just this one topic. Unless a company states otherwise, anyone reading a financial statement can make the assumption that company has used GAAP.

If GAAP are not the principles used for preparing financial statements, then a business needs to make clear which other form of accounting they're used and are bound to avoid using titles in its financial statements that could mislead the person examining it.

GAAP are the gold standard for preparing financial statement. Not disclosing that it has used principles other than GAAP makes a company legally liable for any misleading or misunderstood data. These principles have been fine-tuned over decades and have effectively governed accounting methods and the financial reporting systems of businesses. Different principles have been established for different types of business entities, such for-profit and not-for-profit companies, governments and other enterprises.

GAAP are not cut and dried, however. They're guidelines and as such are often open to interpretation. Estimates have to be made at times, and they require good faith efforts towards accuracy. You've surely heard the phrase "creative accounting" and this is when a company pushes the envelope a little (or a lot) to make their business look more profitable than it might actually be. This is also called massaging the numbers. This can get out of control and quickly turn into accounting fraud, which is also called cooking the books. The results of these practices can be devastating and ruin hundreds and thousands of lives, as in the cases of Enron, Rite Aid and others.

Accounting Classes

If you’re thinking about taking accounting classes in order to better manage your own business or non-profit organization you’re off to a rewarding experience! In fact, chances are that you’ll notice evidence of your expanded understanding of accounting and financial management in various ways almost as soon as you apply the new knowledge and methodology.

You don’t have to earn a four year degree in accountancy in order to expand your knowledge of accounting in meaningful and productive ways. If you want to make accountancy your profession, you would do well to invest your time and resources into a two or four year degree program.

If you’re serious about educating yourself about financial accounting in order to manage an organization that you participate in you may also find that a two year degree program is worth your time and effort. There are, however, many community college and leisure learning classes that may fit your schedule and budget to a tee.

If you live near a community college, visit the campus or website and find out more about the types of accounting classes that are offered. If you don’t see the information that you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to ask questions about the curriculum or to seek advice about what types of accounting classes will meet your learning goals.

Particularly if you live in a larger city, there are many learning centers and organizations that offer classes on all kinds of things from sushi making to kayaking, CPR and accounting. Many times these types of classes are the most feasible type of education because sessions last from one day to a few weeks long so participants can fit them into their schedules. Additionally, accounting classes from these smaller learning organizations will cost less than college degree programs.

Take a look online and ask around about local accounting classes. If you’re looking for a quick solution, there are also some online courses if you enjoy self-paced learning. Take your time to research tuition for online schools, as many of them have rates that are much higher than others.

Everyday Accounting


Dexter Bedd Food Beverage/Food Beverage 2008-03-13
View Detail
By the end of the day, imagine the amount of money you have spent. Just think for a second. Some of you may not have spent much at all, if anything. The rest of us generally spend more than we need to; or at least, we spend more than we realize. This all adds up, sometimes to financial heights that incrementally sap our wallets. While it may not seem significant, this price analogy should quell potential disinterest: people find it unsavory to purchase a thirty-dollar item each day, yet they easily spend thirty dollars incrementally, perhaps because they are not as aware. They are not aware, for example, of their fixed spending (insurance, payments, bills...).

Simple everyday accounting helps to raise awareness.

Save money by logging day-to-day expenses, especially expendable purchases. Either log purchases into a pocket notepad, or simply remember them inside your head. Accounting simply entails adding up purchases, either in print or no print. Do this for one routine day and, depending on your habits, you may be surprised. The psychology behind our purchases lay in how cheap we perceive things to be. So while we may feel guilt in buying a single thirty-dollar item, we would feel less so with three ten-dollar items. Regardless of getting more bang for your buck, the sum total still balances out. The difficulty comes in the temptation of the ten-dollar items; because it leads us to spend more than we like. This can be a financial strain concerning day-to-day purchases; finances usually reserved for long term matters like insurance and payments.

The principle vice points to food. The more food purchased, the more money spent, the greater calories gained. A scientist need not mention the symbiosis of food spending and weight gain. This example of food purchases should be the most obvious habit of anyone with even a meager amount of disposable income. Unless you pack your meals from home, accounting for your food purchases can be a clear indication of your spending habits. In fact, it may compel a person to pack more often. In theory, this can lead to weight loss, as people tend to be less picky with what they bring from home, versus the plethora of fast food chains and hearty restaurants. Give it a shot, and likewise, you may be in for a surprise.

The goal of everyday accounting: to fatten your wallets; or, to keep your wallets fat. The act of spending should not be passive. It has an immediate affect on lifestyle, because it brings awareness to everyday excesses. It makes common sense to save money. And the way to account for your disposable income is to factor in the amount you make from your job. With the aforementioned example of food, add in other daily expenses, like gas. With the information provided by your log of one routine day (or week), calculate the total amount of money spent. Now, with the sum total, find out at what percent it eats up from an average paycheck.

Yes, disposable income is disposable income. Yet what sacrifices can be made? What corners can be cut? Chances are the most expensive, routine items from your log are the expendable or replaceable items. Just be sure to optimize your purchases, and keep that wallet stuffed. Becoming aware of what you buy may lead to a rewarding change in lifestyle, and will alleviate conflicts with fixed spending variables, like bills and insurance.

Accounting outsource


Mani. Malarvannan. Business/Business 2008-01-22
View Detail
Business Transformation Outsourcing (BTO)
Business transformation outsourcing (BTO) is the next logical step for the outsourcing vendors. In BTO a company’s entire business process is outsourced to the BTO vendor. The BTO vendors not only manage the business processes, but also work closely with the company to transform and improve their core business process to add strategic and business value to the entire company. BTO goes beyond the traditional outsourcing in which the external service provider will constantly transform and optimize the business process based on the changes in the marketplace like mergers, accusations, and government policy changes.

BPO vs. BTO

In business process outsourcing (BPO) often a discrete function within an overall business process is outsourced, the BPO vendor just maintains the discrete business function for their client company, there is little or no value added by the BPO vendor. On the other hand the BTO vendor will own the entire business process of their client’s company and add strategic value by bringing process and business efficiency to the entire company. For example in the accounting business process BPO vendors will mange accounting functions like bookkeeping, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable. On the other hand the BTO vendors will involve in higher value accounting services like Investment accounting, Regulatory Reporting, and Credit rating.

BPO contract between the client and vendor is simple, have a specific contract written for the BPO tasks and BPO vendor gets a flat fee for their work. In some cases BPO vendors will be paid based on their performance. The BPO contracts are simple and easy to mange and monitor. On the other hand the BTO contracts are fundamentally different and it is complex in nature. Both BTO vendor and the client must have a mutual trust between each other and often they need to engage in partnerships to share the risks and rewards.

Often time BPO vendors have generic skills in managing the entire business processes or some functions within the overall business process. BTO vendors will have deep vertical business expertise in particular businesses like Accounting, Legal, and HR. Even within Accounting they will have strong expertise in particular industry like retail, manufacturing, and hospitality. By working with several vertical industries BTO vendors will bring in industry best practices and procedures to their client organizations. BTO vendors have the vision for changing business landscape and work closely with their clients to change the entire business process according to the events like external competition, government policy changes and business mergers.

Cost saving is the main reason companies opt for BPO relationships and most of the time senior managers or Vice presidents can directly engage with the BPO vendors to form the relationship. If the BPO vendor doesn’t provide the necessary cost savings, clients can cancel the contract. BTO relationships are long-term and often formed to increase shareholder values by creating new business ventures and partnerships. The BTO relationship is established with strong commitment from the C-level executives in the client company with the BTO vendor.

Risks of BTO
In any BTO engagements there are several risks exist for both the client and the BTO vendor. The BTO vendor needs to get full control of the business process so they can adjust and change it as needed. For the client it may not be easy to give full ownership of the business process to the BTO vendor because of internal structure of the company. The IT systems and technologies of a company have to be properly aligned with their business processes. The client has to give control to their IT systems and the corresponding business processes to the BTO vendor to succeed in their efforts. As the part of their business transformation strategy BTO vendors may change the client’s IT systems and this will be a significant risk to the client employees in managing their regular day today business operations.

For the client companies one of the greatest risks of BTO is the intellectual capital of their business processes that distinguishes it from their competitors. For example if a BTO vendor provides business process transformation services to an electronic retailer say Best Buy and to generic retailer say Target, how the BTO vendor will maintain the intellectual capital for these two clients? It is a known fact that both Target and Best Buy compete for customers and each has its own business strategies in attracting and retaining the customers. In this case how the BTO vendors will mange the relationship without compromising the trade secretes of Target and Best Buy?

There are other challenges in BTO adoption, the policies and pricing models are complex and in most part it is untested. Managing BTO deals are complex and client companies must have proper tools and systems to adequately manage and measure the relationship.

Rewards of BTO
The key advantage of BTO is it enables to transform Client Company’s business with industry best practices so it can compete efficiently in the global marketplace. BTO also helps companies to quickly adopt the changes in the market and this will be the key for companies to survive and thrive in an era of volatile market and shifting customer demands and priorities.

Rapid technology changes only add more challenges to the companies in adopting and integrating them with their own IT systems and to their business partner’s IT services. To a certain extent BTO reduces the challenges and risks associated with the new technologies. For example BTO vendors like IBM and HP can manage entire IT infrastructure with business processes associated with them, in this BTO engagements companies can make the BTO vendors accountable to all the technology and business changes.

In the highly competitive global marketplace, BTO helps companies to focus on their core competency and outsource rest of the functions to the BTO vendors. By focusing on their primary core competency, companies can make the BTO vendor accountable for all the auxiliary but critical business processes required for the core business processes.

Future of BTO
Unlike Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Business Transformation Outsourcing (BTO) does not have a standard structure yet; each deal is unique in nature and there are significant risks associated with the BTO. But this does not stop companies in signing BTO contracts with major consulting firms like IBM, Accenture, EDS and BearingPoint. The big three Indian offshore consulting companies TCS, Infosys, and Wipro are also started offering BTO solutions.

Because of the relationship of this project to the actual modules of learning, you will be able to master some of the necessary skills in performing the accounting process. Your instructor are very much aware that with such requirement, student will be able to grasp a form of research talent while at the same time provide projects with high quality. Apparently, the essay quality already projects the type of a person and how he will be doing or performing in the whole of the academic cycle.

What are the different subject fields in a project such as accountancy? Basically, there is no limit as to what types of essay writing are involved. However, depending on the course in class, you will need to follow certain rules and instructions about the possible topic interest to be written about. First, you can write a coursework with a theme of an essay format. You may start researching about the different facts involved in accountancy. What you can do is to start looking for materials which are providing great resources about the founder of the subjects. Great personalities with very recognizable achievements in the subject field can be a good topic for researching. Therefore, you will not be required to write too technical papers but can still maintain the interesting factor of your articles.

Second, a definite type of a project in accountancy is the creation of summary project in a technical way. There are some instructors who will develop a form of question and answer module for the students. Then, these questions will be sent out to the whole class and will be required them to answer. Of course, whatever the questions may be, you can answer them with ease as long as you have learned the lessons in class or have read through all the text books for proper understanding of the topics. Most often, the questions may need you to provide a degree of computational skills to help you understand the core subject matter.

Next in line is the project involving the research process in formal writing such as a thesis. In accountancy, what you need to prove is basically how interrelated the concepts are in terms of computational analysis of values. For example, if you want to delve on the topics which are concerned on how the formulas and mathematical approaches can be used in certain economic industries, then you may write a research paper about it and provide a problem statement for your thesis. You may incorporate certain previous dilemmas in class which were not discussed. Of course, in this type of an accountancy project, you need to always reference all the resources you will be using. This will be a good way to support your claims and strengthen your discussion.

Accounting coursework may become a very difficult school requirement if you are not really familiar how writing such articles are done. But because of the wide availability of references, the inline portal is always ready to assist you to maintain a very good grade in the subject field.

There is a myth that efficiency and profitably of offshore business can only be seen in big business. But that’s not true. Today small business organizations are taking to outsourcing to increase their business efficiency and profitability. With IT based transaction processing has expanded to accounting, HR management, public relations consultancy, financial services etc, outsourcing today is the latest tool for transformation of any conceivable business process. Small businesses are still not sure whether offshore vendors can really create value for their company.

Myth: Economy of the country may get hamper due to loss of work through Outsourcing. Reality: False. It promotes Growth and Efficiency

Myth: There are lot of complex IT integration in Account Outsourcing. Server and Internet Connectivity is not enough. Reality: Just a Server and Internet Connectivity is enough

The outsourced service provider can use Remote Server model to access client’s computer securely to perform services like Accounts. In case of Secure File Transfer all the accounting records are transferred securely from customer’s computer to the outsource vendor to perform the work. Then the vendors upload the files back into customer’s computer securely. The technology for outsourcing is changing day by day as concept of offshore is increasing everyday. A IDC study entitled US Finance and Accounting Outsourcing Market Forecast and Analysis 2003-2008 has predicted that the global market for finance and accounting outsourcing services, which reached over $30 billion in 2003, will reach $47.6 billion in 2008.

Myth: Accounting BPO can’t be outsourced Reality:Almost all Non-core Business Activities like Accounting BPO can be outsourced

High-end technology platforms were used by big business in last decade for outsourcing. Now every thing has technology. Big and small companies routinely outsource their work to cost-effective destinations like India. In last few years accounting has taken a tremendous growth. . Companies with a full-time bookkeeper can save about $30,000 a year by using outsourced bookkeeping services to highly competent service providers in India.

Myth: Outsourcing is only and only for Big Business only Reality: that’s not true. It has equal value in Business

There is a myth that business with abundant wealth can get good return from account outsourcing. But the fact is this is absolutely wrong. Small business can also get good return. In today’s fiercely competitive industry, every thing your save whether it is wealth or time is very important for your business. India, China, Philippians are the front runner in the offshore vendors. Here you get quality service in fewer prices than the money required to do it in the country of origin.

Myth: Accounting Outsourcing is not reliable Reality: False. The services are 100% Reliable

There is no chance of unauthorized use of your resource. . Through secure FTP software, offshore units transfer all the documents securely into the client server. Using customer specified accounting software, they perform all the work and export the finished accounting files back in to customer's server securely. . Small business outsourced accounting services do not ordinarily involve handling of business critical data. Even if they are there, a reliable service provider with proven experience and credentials can handle the assignment with trust and confidentiality to secure efficiency and cost saving for small business units.

Tally Accounting Software


William Allen Computer/Software 2007-12-20
View Detail
Tally 9.0 has been dubbed the most advanced accounting software on the planet. Tally accounting software is highly adaptable and is loaded with features that are designed to benefit organizations of different sizes. The latest version of Tally accounting software comes equipped with the following features:
Data Protection
Tally accounting software is designed to protect financial data irrespective of the scenario. Unlike other accounting software, Tally accounting software makes sure all data is protected and backed up automatically. In the rare case of a power outage, Tally automatically protects data and the system database from corruption.
Faster data access
Tally accounting software now uses a new indexing and storage technique that allows faster access to financial data. Tally uses a flexi-field, flexi-length, self indexed weighted file structure for an extremely compact and fast database.
Increased data security
Tally accounting software has an inbuilt data protection system that constantly monitors all data changes and no data change external or internal can go unnoticed. Users can also access the Tally database externally through a secure ODBC connection and this feature is especially useful for companies that have outsourced their accounts or have a central financial server.
The Tally Audit feature
Tally accounting software comes equipped with a unique feature called Tally Audit. As the name suggests, Tally Audit allows users with administrator rights to audit the entries of other users. In essence, the auditor can actively monitor sub-ordinates and keep close tabs on the accounting procedures of a company. Once again, organizations with offices in different locations can easily keep tabs on all entries and changes using the Tally Audit feature.
User level security
To keep in tune with the ‘networked’ image of Tally accounting software, Tally accounting software allows administrators to create users with different access rights. For example, a junior accountant might not need access to all financial records and an administrator can choose exactly which user has access to which financial database. Although user level security is not a new concept, but Tally accounting software has taken user level security to a new level, as the Tally Gold edition allows unlimited number of users to access Tally from different machines.
Multi-platform support
Tally can work on almost every imaginable network topology. Tally accounting software is designed to work with NT, Novell, Peer-Peer N/W etc). The only requirement is that the network protocol should be TCP/IP. In addition, Tally supports a large variety of operating systems like Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Rapid Installation
Since Tally accounting software is designed to be installed on a networked environment, it has a simple installation procedure. In addition, Tally is easily customizable and users find it very simple to customize Tally accounting software after installation.
Easy backup
Tally allows backing up of user databases at the click of a button. Users can choose to backup data on the hard drive or can use an external storage device. Interestingly, only users with adequate permissions can actually backup data on removable storage devices.
The split company feature and updates
Tally allows users to split data from one financial year or time period to create a separate company. For example, a user can choose to split the financial data from a particular time period and form a new company using the same data. The closing balance of the time period specified acts as the opening balance for the time period that follows. The multi-directory feature is another network centric feature of the Tally accounting software, and administrators can choose to create separate directories for different companies thereby ensuring greater security. All versions of Tally accounting software after version 6.3 are capable of updating themselves, and users can also access Tally’s internet repository for information on new features and updates.

About GAAP in accounting


John Ugoshowa Business/Business 2008-05-05
View Detail
While many businesses assume that accountants are bound by generally accepted accounting practices and that these are inviolate, nothing could be further from the truth. Everything is subject to interpretation, and GAAP is no different. For one thing, GAAP themselves permit alternative accounting methods to be used for certain expenses and for revenue in certain specialized types of businesses. For another, GAAP methods require that decisions be made about the timing for recording revenue and expenses, or they require that key factors be quantified. Deciding on the timing of revenue and expenses and putting definite values on these factors require judgments, estimates and interpretations.

The mission of GAAP over the years has been to standardize accounting methods in order to bring about uniformity across all businesses. But alternative methods are still permitted for certain basic business expenses. No tests are required to determine whether one method is more preferable than another. A business is free to select whichever method it wants. But it must choose which cost of good sold expense method to use and which depreciation expense method to use.

For other expenses and for sales revenue, one general accounting method has been established; there are no alternative methods. However, a business has a fair amount of latitude in actually implementing the methods. One business applies the accounting methods in a conservative manner, and another business applies the methods in a more liberal manner. The end result is more diversity between businesses in their profit measure and financial statements than one might expect, considering that GAAP have been evolving since 1930.

The pronouncement on GAAP prepared by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is now more than 1000 pages long. And that doesn't even include the rules and regulations issued by the federal regulatory agency that jurisdiction over the financial reporting and accounting methods of publicly owned businesses - the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Accounting Overview
Want to stop using an accountant and do-it-yourself? Looking to replace or upgrade your accounting software. Read on for a high level overview of Accounting Software.
Whatever our business - church, construction, fund, inventory, manufacturing, nursery, payroll, project, restaurant, etc - an accounting software system will help you to lower your costs, improve your accounts' accuracy and give you a much better idea of how your company is performing. Also, an accounting software system may just help you with the e-filing (electronic/online filing).

Accounting Software Functionality
Generally, you need to manage your sales**, customers**, inventory and other information along with associated documents. You will definitely want to generate reports.
Ideally - to manage your sales**, customers**, inventory and other information - the 'out-of-the-box' (minimum or no configuration required) accounting software will manage:


  • your money coming in (Accounts Receivable)
  • your money going out (Accounts Payable)
  • your main documents (Billing, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders)
  • your inventory (Stock)

Additionally (probably extra cost) you may need your chosen system to manage:

  • money owed to you
  • your staff's expenses and salaries (Payroll)
  • project times (so that you can charge for actual work against projects your staff are working on)
  • approval processes (so you can submit, then track who approved what and when)

Advanced Requirements:

  • integration to other systems (normally enterprise systems)
  • major imports (when initially bringing data into the system)
  • minor imports (for regular use by staff for getting small quantities of data into the system)
  • backing up of the accounting system (meta data, as well as configuration of the system)
  • reporting/graphs (for high-level views such as Balances, Profit & Loss, Portfolio overviews etc)
  • Multiple currencies
  • Import ability
  • Localisation (allowing you to use the software in your own language)
  • Cheque/Check printing

The Right Solution For You
You should really, consider:

  • How are you managing your accounts at the moment?
  • How many transactions do you have a month? (manual might be best if you only have a dozen transactions a month for example)
  • What type of company is yours? (meaning what type of legal entity is it?)
  • How many people wil be using the system?
  • Do you know what your business needs? If you know what your business needs, then you will be able to better match up functionality of the accountancy package(s) you are considering.
  • What database will the accounting package be using?

Some Popular Accounting Software Examples:

  • Personal: GnuCash (GPL), Quicken
  • Small Enterprise: Microsoft Office Accounting, TurboCASH (GPL)
  • Medium enterprise: NetSuite (on-demand), Tiny ERP (GPL)
  • Large Enterprise: Oracle Corporation, SAP

Conclusion
The cost of your chosen accounting software will vary greatly. Your supplier should have no problems showing you (not just telling you) how and why they are a good partner for your company. Don't be afraid to ask questions - not to trip them up, but to get ansers to issues important to you. Be frank and open with the supplier - you'd expect the same back after all! Negotiate hard - before you sign is the best time for getting a good price and/or goodies (training, consultancy, health checks, etc) thrown in.

Introduction to Accounting


Roberto Bell Business/Business 2008-05-04
View Detail
Anyone who's worked in an office at some point or another has had to go to accounting. They're the people who pay and send out the bills that keep the business running. They do a lot more than that, though. Sometimes referred to as "bean counters" they also keep their eye on profits, costs and losses. Unless you're running your own business and acting as your own accountant, you'd have no way of knowing just how profitable - or not - your business is without some form of accounting.

No matter what business you're in, even if all you do is balance a checkbook, that's still accounting. It's part of even a kid's life. Saving an allowance, spending it all at once - these are accounting principles.

What are some other businesses where accounting is critical? Well, farmers need to follow careful accounting procedures. Many of them run their farms year to year by taking loans to plant the crops. If it's a good year, a profitable one, then they can pay off their loan; if not, they might have to carry the loan over, and accrue more interest charges.

Every business and every individual needs to have some kind of accounting system in their lives. Otherwise, the finances can get away from them, they don't know what they've spent, or whether they can expect a profit or a loss from their business. Staying on top of accounting, whether it's for a multi-billion dollar business or for a personal checking account is a necessary activity on a daily basis if you're smart. Not doing so can mean anything from a bounced check or posting a loss to a company's shareholders. Both scenarios can be equally devastating.

Accounting is basically information, and this information is published periodically in business as a profit and loss statement, or an income statement.

Online Accounting Tutoring


Janell Barrett Reference Education/Reference Education 2007-07-19
View Detail
Accounting is one of the most intimidating subjects around and a lot of people steer clear of it. Anytime you mention debits and credits or balance sheets to someone, their eyes seem to glaze over. Professionals in the field of Accounting are perceived as a bean-counting, calculator pushing, group of people. In college, business students dread taking introduction to Accounting unless they are prospective accounting majors. The truth is, it’s not all that bad once you get the understanding of it. Honestly, Accounting is an acquired taste. You either like it or you don’t.

High school accounting students and undergraduate business students who are not accounting majors, tend to find Accounting very frustrating. That could be due to the fact that they can’t get the help they need when they need it. If you have a few accounting geniuses in the class, you may get them to help you if they aren’t too involved in their own lives. The professors aren’t always immediately available either. There have been times when I’ve been up studying late and had questions in the middle of the night. You can’t just pick up the phone and call one of your classmates in the middle of the night; that wouldn’t be very polite. But since practically a majority of students use the internet now whether to do homework or just to pass the time away, it has become a must-have.

The benefits of using online tutoring with Accounting or any subject are:

1.Tutors are generally available around the clock. Some tutoring companies may only be available when students are more likely to be studying. That can be from early afternoon to 1 in the morning.

2.There may be less intimidation on the part of the student. Some people are very uncomfortable with face-to-face interaction. Also, it can raise confidence when the student just “can’t get it”.

3.Teachers may be in class or in bed when the student needs help the most. It also cuts down on the need for office hours. Tutors are typically only an email away. 4.Tutors aren’t merely in a hurry because they have somewhere else they need to be. The job of the tutor is to make sure that your needs are met and that you get all the information that you need.

Some people may not prefer tutors because of the extra costs. Online tutoring is generally cheaper than meeting with a private tutor in person. Cost for a private in-person tutor can range from an average of $15-$25 per hour. Online tutors are priced a little differently; they may charge by the question or by the hour. Tutors come in handy for those who work during the day and then go to school at night. By the time they get home at night, teachers aren’t always readily available. Hence, the student prefers to just pay the extra money to get what they need. Frankly, privately tutored students generally end up doing better because they have a chance to really learn the material and to increase their confidence when it’s time to take the exam.

Online tutoring is still a growing resource but it’s highly valuable in this information age. Not everyone can just go to the nearest coffee shop or to a learning center to meet a tutor. This is particularly true for moms and dads who are attending college online but need to stay home with the children. All in all, it’s a wonderful asset.

Janell B. is a business professional who devotes time to tutoring accounting students online.

An Accounting Career


J. Ignacio Ahumada Business/Careers 2007-09-17
View Detail
An accounting career could be just the thing to bring you satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. Along with medical and health related careers, accounting professionals are among the group of professions that are projected to see a lot of growth over the next few years.

Graduates of four year accountancy programs are earning 3.7% more in terms of starting pay straight out of college. Master’s degree holders are seeing a 4% increase in starting pay over the last couple of years.

There are many top notch two year accounting degree programs as well. Your choice really depends on many factors, including career objectives, the amount of money that you have to invest in an education or your ability to attain student loans, as well as what your schedule is like.

If you want to educate yourself on accounting in order to better manage your own small business or non-profit organization, chances are you’d do best with some classes from the local community college or other type of learning center.

In many larger cities and some towns, there are learning centers that offer a wide variety of classes, from cooking and home improvement to accounting. Ask around at your local public library or community college to find out about all the learning opportunities that your community has to offer.

For more serious study to put toward managing the finances of your business or organization, you may find that a community college has just the combination of classes that you’re looking for.

If you want to pursue an accounting career further, a community college is still one of the best places to start. If you have children or must work while attending school, community colleges are going to offer you the most flexibility in terms of scheduling.

For more information on the projected outlook for those in accounting careers, take a look at the government’s Occupational Outlook Handbook found at http://www.bls.gov/oco/. There is a great wealth of information here that can help you decide how satisfying various degrees and professions are likely to be over the coming years.
