Zero to Hero: The Ultimate Accounting & Bookkeeping Basics Bootcamp

This is a 7-hour, beginner-friendly online accounting and bookkeeping bootcamp taught by Daanish Omarshah on Skillshare. The course comprises 12 comprehensive sections and 65 videos that take learners through fundamentals such as assets, liabilities, expenses, incomes, double-entry bookkeeping, journal entries, ledgers, trial balance, and the core financial statements (income statement and balance sheet).

Lessons use real-world examples, practice problems and mini-scenarios to reinforce concepts. The course is designed for complete beginners and students (high school/A-level, college and university), as well as entrepreneurs, freelancers and career-changers who want practical, career-relevant skills.

It emphasizes hands-on learning: practice exercises, activities (including journal-entry and ledger activities), and a class project to create a full set of financial statements from journal entries. Format-wise, the class is delivered online via Skillshare with unlimited lifetime access and teacher support.

Content is self-paced so learners can watch lessons and repeat material as needed to build confidence in reading financial statements and recording transactions.
