edX. Course Description: edX provides a host of free bookkeeping courses through the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). Topics include an introduction to bookkeeping, intermediate bookkeeping, financial accounting and introduction to management accounting.

The practise of recording a business's financial transactions is known as accounting. As part of the accounting process, these transactions are collated, reviewed, and reported to oversight organisations, regulatory agencies, and tax collection organisations.

Five main types of accounts appear in a COA: assets, equity, expenses, liabilities, and revenues.

Self-taught bookkeepers use a variety of courses, seminars, books, and other online resources to learn about bookkeeping and accounting. You can also learn how to use accounting software, like QuickBooks, which can teach you about the basics of bookkeeping as well as the technology used by many businesses.
