The Color Accounting family of products comprises foundation and advanced material. We believe strongly that people are served by having a thorough grasp of the basics, and that this “platform of understanding” makes it possibly to easily master advanced and applied concepts. As a result, we invest more into getting people to truly understand the fundamentals than other training organizations.

Color Accounting CORE!

The Color Accounting CORE! content lies at the heart of all our training. Participants completing CORE! courses are able to compile, read and analyze a balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement confidently. CORE! lays the foundation for PLUS+ modules that address advanced and industry-specific topics.

Color Accounting PLUS+ Modules

As we’ve said, when learners truly ‘get’ the basics, mastering applied and advanced topics is remarkably easy and quick. The Color Accounting PLUS+ modules are sequels that complement the foundational CORE! content. The modules address topics to suit each group of learners’ needs.

Workshops
Color Accounting workshops use a 3-dimensional model of accounting and 2-dimensional diagrams to fully engage and delight the learner. The accredited Color Accounting Trainers observe the workshop participants holding, manipulating and engaging the learning materials. By doing so the trainers can immediately identify dissonances in the participants' logic, thinking, analysis and articulation of ideas. The trainers probe the thinking of the learners and their powerful interventions result in learning breakthroughs. Workshops are mostly delivered in-house at clients' premises, but also at public venues. Typically workshops range in size from 4 - 20 participants.

Learning is hands-on, engaging and very quick. The Color Accounting approach is so simple that anyone can conquer the language of business.

Seminars

Color Accounting seminars are shorter than workshops and use less 3-dimensional props, with more emphasis on 2-dimensional diagrams. Seminars still pack a punch but are designed to cater to larger groups and shorter time frames, such as one or two-hour brown-bag lunches.

Conference Presentations
Color Accounting Trainers are notable for their ability to communicate financial and business issues in an interesting and easy-to-understand way. As such they are often asked to present to large conferences. Their presentations are integrated with the conference theme and typically range from 1 - 3 hours.

Self-Study Materials

We are developing self-study DVDs and internet accessible courseware. Please ask us for more information.

Book - Accounting Comes Alive: The Color Accounting Parable

The story of how an MBA conquered accounting with the breakthrough Color Accounting system and set himself free.

Presented as a little story about a man learning to run a business from his uncle, this 50-page book packs deceptively powerful learning into an easy-to-digest format. It uses a deliberately reassuring approach to cut through the jargon and clouds of confusion to reveal the fundamental truth about business and record keeping.

Color Accounting Framework Mouse pad

The ultimate accounting picture

This mouse pad puts the visual power of how accounting works at your fingertips. The communication tool can help you communicate with accountants, colleagues and clients. When talking about accounting often one person is saying one thing but the listener is thinking about another. The classic example is the confusion of cash and income, two quite different things. Being able to point to the full picture of accounting and business in one simple diagram helps overcome this confusion.

One of our earliest students famously said "When I see a balance sheet I see a zebra." Color Accounting made that zebra come alive for her. We always remember her when we sport the Color Accounting mascot.
