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: expenses must be recorded in the same period as the revenues they helped generate.
• Historical cost: the amount you paid for an asset stays on the books until disposal.
• Full disclosure: include every material fact that might influence financial decisions.
• Objectivity: objectivity means using documented evidence to support every entry.

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

Accounting lessons in Southampton typically cost about £16/h per hour.

Your final cost will depend on these variables:

• Your level of study (secondary school, undergraduate, or professional)
• 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 (online via video call, in person at home, or at the tutor's location)

Some tutors provide a free first lesson so you can test the fit before committing.

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

This equation means that every debit has an equal credit, so the books always balance.

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

Understanding this rule is the first step to mastering bookkeeping and financial statements.
