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

• 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: record assets at what you actually paid, not current market value.
• 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 St Albans is around £27/h per hour.

Your final cost will depend on these variables:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience (chartered accountant, degree holder, or industry professional)
• How often you meet and for how long (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.

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

With one-to-one guidance, you will quickly learn to spot where entries need balancing.
