Accounting rests on five core principles that ensure financial records stay accurate and consistent.

• Revenue recognition: record income when it is earned, not when cash arrives.
• Matching principle: expenses must be recorded in the same period as the revenues they helped generate.
• Historical cost: assets are recorded at their original purchase price.
• Full disclosure: nothing significant should be hidden from users of the financial statements.
• Objectivity: all records should rely on factual proof rather than personal opinion.

Together, they create a framework for consistent reporting across industries.

The average price of accounting tuition in Bath is around £20/h per hour.

This rate can vary depending on several factors:

• The student's level (GCSE, A-Level, university, or professional qualifications like AAT or ACCA)
• The tutor's expertise and track record (chartered accountant, degree holder, or industry professional)
• Session length and frequency (regular lessons, exam prep bursts, or ad-hoc help)
• Lesson format (face-to-face, remote, or hybrid)

Many tutors offer discounted rates if you book multiple sessions in advance.

The number one rule is the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

Double-entry bookkeeping relies entirely on this principle to detect errors.

For example, if a company borrows £10,000, both its assets (cash) and liabilities (loan) rise by £10,000.

A private tutor can help you practise applying this equation to real transactions confidently.
