These five foundational principles keep financial data reliable across all businesses.

• Revenue recognition: income appears in accounts when the sale occurs, not when money is received.
• Matching principle: link each expense to the revenue it created for accurate profit measurement.
• Historical cost: assets are recorded at their original purchase price.
• Full disclosure: nothing significant should be hidden from users of the financial statements.
• Objectivity: financial data must be based on verifiable evidence like invoices and contracts.

Following them ensures that accounts reflect a true and fair view of a business.

• The tutor's qualifications and experience (qualified accountant, experienced teacher, or specialist)
• How often you meet and for how long (weekly one-hour sessions, intensive revision blocks, or flexible scheduling)
• Lesson format (face-to-face, remote, or hybrid)

Opting for online tuition can often reduce costs while maintaining quality.

At its core, accounting follows one simple equation: what you own equals what you owe plus what you have invested.

It ensures that every pound entering a business is accounted for on both sides of the ledger.

Selling goods on credit increases both receivables (asset) and revenue (equity) together.

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