Introduction to Accounting
One of the prerequisites of operating a business, is understanding how to control that business. For a Funeral Home business, this is extremely important due to the fact that often times a funeral home may be asset rich and cash poor. Additionally, by nature funeral directors are caregivers and tend to shy away from the actual financial aspects of their own business, leaving it in the hands of others.
This course is designed to show the need and importance of funeral home owner / managers to pay close attention to the financial aspects of their business. Although nothing can guarantee success in business, having a thorough understanding over the financial control of that business can go a long way to insure that success.
