Clients and their bookkeepers/controllers often ask us for DIY business finance learning resources, yet no one we know wants to plow through a book cover to cover. Instead, they’re looking for more flexible learning opportunities that respond to immediate need. We write Financial Think to help meet that need. Another excellent resource among the many on the Internet is called Accounting Coach blog. Here’s why I like this site:

• Intermediate-level content hits the sweet spot for serious DIY small business financial managers
• Clear, succinct treatment of specific topics
• Clean visual design
• Relatively unobtrusive advertising
• Easy to subscribe to via RSS link.

For a good sample, check out a recent post that answers the question, “How Do You Reduce a Company’s Breakeven Point?”

Some of the topics don’t relate to most small businesses, which we define as between start-up and $10M in annual sales / 100 employees. And it doesn’t always put the tools in context of financial strategy – which tools to use, when, and how. But the site’s definitely worth an RSS feed or bookmark if you want to expand your resource pool and sharpen your financial management skills. In addition to the blog, it has online training courses and even crossword puzzles for a lighter way to learn.
