ACCOUNTING BASICS for Beginners (Whole Playlist) - T-ACCOUNTS: Explained in (Almost) 2 Minutes!

👉 Confused by accounting? Download this free cheat sheet: https://accountingstuff.com In this video, I'll attempt to explain T-Accounts in less than two minutes! A T-Account is a simple visual tool used in accounting to track transactions in individual accounts. It gets its name from its “T” shape—debits go on the left and credits go on the right. T-Accounts help us visualise the flow of transactions. Each account has a “normal” side where its balance typically sits. Using the DEALER acronym (Dividends, Expenses, Assets, Liabilities, Equity & Revenue), we can sort accounts into Normal Debit or Normal Credit Accounts. This helps us understand how they increase or decrease. I’ll walk you through two examples from a fictional business called Lawn & Order. You’ll learn how to record revenue and maintenance expenses using T-Accounts, and I’ll explain each side of the transaction using the rules of Double-Entry Accounting. 🔴Subscribe for more Accounting Tutorials → https://geni.us/subtothechannel ⏱️TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro 00:08 - What is a T-Account? 00:56 - How do T-Accounts work? 01:53 - T-Account Example 03:44 - How do you close a T-Account? 🔎FAQ ▪ My Favourite Accounting Book for Beginners → http://geni.us/5mKR7m 🔝 CLOUD ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE ▪ XERO (Free Trial / Discount) → https://xero5440.partnerlinks.io/08mfchsgfw8z ▪ QuickBooks Online USA (Free Trial / Discount) → https://geni.us/quickbooksonlineusa ▪ QuickBooks Online Canada (Free Trial / Discount) → https://geni.us/quickbooksonlinecanada 🚶FOLLOW ME ON ▪ Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/accountingstuff ▪ TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@accounting_stuff ▪ Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/accountingstuff/ ________________________ DISCLAIMER Some of the links above are affiliate links, where I earn a small commission if you click on the link and purchase an item.
