Accounting & Finance Terminology Guide

There are certain terms and definitions in the language of accounting that require explanations all their own in order to understand it.

An accounting dictionary can provide you what you need to solve this problem. Some terms are more fundamental and basic than others, while some are quite advanced and only used rarely. There is also a lot of accounting slang that is used in the field that is not listed in any formal dictionary but generally accepted by some members of the profession.
