What students practice
Month 01 workflows, built for repetition
Every task type is backed by deterministic validators and source documents — the same muscle memory you need in a firm, without risking a live client file.
Accounts payable
Code vendor invoices, run payment batches, and catch duplicates before they hit the ledger.
Accounts receivable
Post rent and tenant charges with the same rigor you would use for a live client file.
Journal entries
Build balanced entries line by line. The system validates debits and credits immediately.
Bank feeds & reconciliation
Match statement lines to open items and close the books with month-end reconciliation tasks.
Vendor compliance
Review W-9 status and payment eligibility before funds leave the account.
How the academy runs
Instructor-gated, student by student
Progression is deliberate: complete each day in order, submit the week for review, and advance only when your instructor approves. One active syllabus keeps the cohort aligned while every ledger stays private.
- Clock in and out on your virtual desk
- View invoices and statements in the document viewer
- Submit tasks for instant correct / incorrect feedback
- Close the week and wait for instructor review
Instructor-authored syllabus
Build a term calendar day by day — clone a ready-made sample company or configure your own from scratch.
Deterministic grading
Students receive correct or incorrect right after submission. Answer keys never leave the instructor side.
Per-student progression
Sequential days within a week, with instructor review before each student advances to the next week or month.
