Dear Newbie,
Welcome to Hampton! My name is Julio Antoni, your supervisor. We believe the best way for you to get familiar with what you are going to be doing here is to throw you right in, so we are asking you to start working on the books for us right away.
For this project you will complete Hamptons entire accounting cycle. You will be required to record entries in a journal, post to a ledger, complete a trial balance, and prepare financial statements. Transactions will include day to day operations, adjusting entries, dividends and closing entries. All of the work will be completed in the provided Excel workbook (make sure you save the file on to your computer!)
