Recommendations for Learning Accounting Basics

[Fox]

Hey everyone.

A goal of 2021 is to really dial in my business finances and cashflow.

I do have an accountant for the last few years (really good) but I still feel there is a lot I should/could learn to help run a business better.

I remember at the summit @MJ DeMarco was able to give a quick look at some financials on a slideshow and spot a bunch of trends/insights right away - those are nice skills!

Does anyone have any courses/books/programs they would recommend for learning a solid foundation in keeping business books and being able to make better financial decisions with a business?

Also would love to hear how anyone on here already learned these skills and any improvements they saw.

Thanks.

( I am based in Europe so it doesn't have to be super detailed to any one country - just general best practices. Thanks again).
