These articles are great - thanks @WillowOlder! In addition, QB Community members can be a very helpful resource for on-the-ground finance and accounting questions. Got a thorny bookkeeping issue specific to your industry? Thinking about the smartest way to finance your new venture? Feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all? QB Community members who have "been there, done that" can provide support. In addition, many QB Community members are themselves accountants who consult for small businesses. This is a great place to crowdsource ideas - even if I am a tiny bit biased :smileyhappy:
I think it's really important to be very deliberate and specific when dealing with financial terminology. There are tons of great resources out there on the internet (always go with a reputable source!).
While simple, straight-forward answers are great for getting the gist of a concept, it's also important to do due diligence and deal with the technical aspects as well. This is especially true when handling different types of liabilities.
Bottom line, do lots of research, read lots of sources!
