The Accounting Cycle The General Journal

The accounting cycle Up to this point the accounting cycle for us has been very limited: Analyze transactions using T – Accounts Prepare Trial Balance Create Financial Statements In this unit we will be completing the entire accounting cycle for a service business, so that you can truly say you could “Do the Books” for any service company!
