You’ve just secured a new client in your accounting practice, Howard's Flight Radio Management Corporation (HFRM), a brand new small business specializing in flight management systems (FMS). The owner, Howard Allan, is a former Air Force pilot and retired Colonel, but definitely not an accountant. Your job is to help Howard put his affairs in order. Luckily Howard has only been in operation for a month and things have not gotten too out of hand yet! Howard has to submit his financial statements to his investors and doesn’t know where to begin. It’s your job to go through the complete Accounting cycle to prepare the financial statements for the HFRM. | ||
