Achieve Your Goals
Perhaps you need to manage a Profit & Loss statement. Or maybe you want to get on top of budgets, or tighten up financial controls. For sales people, it's often about understanding a prospect's businesses better, and how to increase profits and ROI.
Color Accounting can help you with all of these. And it does so by getting to the root-cause of the issues. That's what makes it different. Our learners don't leave with a few terms written on a notepad. No. They have breakthrough shifts in how they see business and their role in it.

Why Color Accounting Works
The Color Accounting approach to accounting education is interactive: logical colors, vivid diagrams, plain language, accelerated learning techniques, and even special sound effects, cater to all learning styles. Colorful diagrams means that learners are now able to – literally – see how accounting, finance and business work. One of the reasons Color Accounting is more effective is that it ‘starts at zero’. Other approaches skip important steps. For example, they omit to define basic terms like ‘expense’. This causes confusion down the line. |
