About this episode

Hi Everyone, Welcome to Accounting 101 with Jimmy Stewart. I hope to explain accounting to you the way I wish someone had explained it to me when I first started out. This isn't meant to be your only source of learning accounting, but this is meant to advance your knowledge in accounting by reinforcing the fundamentals that you absolutely must know to understand accounting. I am a forensic accountant from New York State, and I have learned a lot of tricks over the years that I know will help a lot of other people out as well. Stick with me and I promise I will help you understand accounting in a way that will let you master it. I hope you all enjoy. Please be patient with me as I figure out what I'm doing. James Edward Stewart, CPA/ABV, CFE
