Is the world of finance a mystery to you? Do you find balance sheets and income statements confusing? We offer a revolutionary approach to financial literacy that makes understanding business finance accessible to everyone.
This foundational program is the first step toward financial empowerment.
Program Outcomes: Participants learn to read and comprehend a balance sheet and income statement. You'll be able to articulate the financial story of a business and understand how its different parts interact to create value.
How it Works: We use gamification and tactile, 3D learning props to build a physical representation of an accounting system. Each participant receives a full-color workbook and materials couriered in advance of the workshop.
Delivery: Typically an 8-hour workshop, it can be broken into smaller 2- or 4-hour sessions, delivered either on-site or virtually for groups of up to 15
Traditional business programs often rely on memorizing complex financial terms. We take a different approach.
The Color Accounting Learning System demystifies accounting by using color-coded diagrams, plain language, and hands-on, three-dimensional learning materials. This intuitive, step-by-step system helps participants first understand accounting as the foundational language of business, leading to a deep and holistic understanding.
At the heart of our system is the BASIS Board™, a unique diagram representing the Balance Sheet and Income Statement on a single page. It visually organizes all financial activities into just five core concepts:
Assets: Rights to valuable things
Liabilities: Obligations to creditors
Equity: Obligations to owners
Expenses: Value-sacrificing activities
Revenue: Value-generating activities
This graphical representation clarifies the underlying structure of finance—how the balance sheet and income statement connect and how business transactions flow and balance.
