Howdy,

I recommend you go to the local library or a good book store and find the
oldest accounting books you can. If you can find college text books on
accounting, printed over 40 years ago, you have a gold mine.

If you can gain a good grasp of how paper ledger accounting works, then
you'll be able to get the most out of the new fangled programs. Without it,
you will find things get snarled up real easy.

How to report taxes has changed radically. However, basic accounting still
works the same as it did a century ago.

We didn't understand each other, maybe because my english is not very well.
I'm talking about "management accounting" and "cost management" which exist
from 1950's, which don't have regulate financial reports as classic
accounting have and also which are oriented to the future events.

Howdy,

Accounting, is accounting, is accounting, and by any other name it is rows
and columns of numbers to give you the results you want.

Unless you understand how basic ledgers work, you are going to have problems
understanding what is going on when they assign a fancy name to a process of
tracking money moving in various directions.

Part of my suggestion is so you can gain a good grasp of the words and
terminolgy involved.
