Join us as we revisit this conversation from 2020!

 

Either as a degreed accountant or business owner we each would benefit stopping for a moment to consider the big picture of business as it appears in the accounting model.

Listen as Mark shares his storying of stumbling into the accounting profession, graduating and working as an accountant yet still struggling to understand the big picture and then BAAM, it changed.

Color Accounting is a unique yet simple way to learn and explain the accounting experience.  For accounting professionals it’s a refreshing perspective on something they do daily.  More importantly, for the non-accountant it’s a fun interactive experience to understand the applications of transactions within business.

Hear how Color Accounting came about and how it applies to you and the relationship you have with your business clients.  Let Color Accounting help you communicate the accounting information to your clients in a way they can then use the reports you provide it to make more informed business decisions.
