About this app

Learn Bookkeeping and Accounting the Way It Should Have Always Been Taught — Free to Start
Over 150,000 learners worldwide have discovered a better way to learn accounting. With a 4.8 star rating and a teaching method that actually makes sense, Addictive Accounting is the accounting course students keep telling their friends about.
Start completely free. No credit card. No commitment. Just start learning. When you're ready to go deeper, an optional in-app purchase unlocks the full course — but thousands of learners have found the free portion alone transforms how they understand accounting.
No Experience Needed. No Confusion. Just Understanding.
Most accounting courses throw complexity at you before you understand the basics. Addictive Accounting flips that. We start simple, build your understanding step by step, and let you practice every concept immediately in a built-in accounting simulator — so what you learn actually sticks.
A Real Simulator. Real Understanding.
As you learn, you practice directly in a built-in accounting simulator — entering real journal entries and watching them flow through the journal, chart of accounts, and general ledger in real time. This is how accounting should be taught.
Works Anywhere in the World
Whether you're in the USA, Europe, Canada, Africa, Asia, or the Middle East — the double-entry bookkeeping system is universal, and so is this course.
Prepares You for Any Accounting Software
Understanding bookkeeping before touching accounting software is like learning addition before multiplication. Master the foundation first and every accounting software becomes easier.
What You Will Learn
. The journal, general ledger and chart of accounts
. Assets, liabilities, capital and profit
. The true meanings of debit and credit
. Journal entries, purchases, sales and sales tax
. Accounts receivable and payable

I have started studying accounting this year. I have tried other free courses, some better than others. Addictive Accounting is by far top notch, #1! The explanations clear up many of my previous questions and help me to understand how accounting works. The small modules hold my interest and the short quiz at the end of each one hammers the point home. I am so glad I found Addictive Accounting! Thank you!

It's not bad and when compared to the other mobile app options, I'm sure it's better than most. However, I know enough about basic accounting to know that instead of making this subject easier to understand, this app actually makes everything more confusing. Every concept does NOT need to have a bunch of different names. One concept (i.e. debit) should always be referred to by one name (i.e. debit). By trying to explain it as something else, you make it confusing.

Sorry you found the course confusing Ashley. My guess is you were taught bookkeeping as a memorized rule process that never explained the "why" and only the "how to". Perhaps you didn't go far enough in the course? Feel free to contact me for clarification at: https://www.addictiveaccounting.com/support.html. -Cheers, Steve (author/developer)

As an accounting graduate that simply never got to USE their education, this is a great review of basic accounting/BK concepts and activities. However, with prior knowledge, the initial simplified terms and "definitions" were a bit confusing. Still, a good way to reconfigure your understanding of complex topics. Still about halfway through the free portion of the course, I WILL be back to update this review.

Hi Michael! It's understandable that you might feel a bit confused. The mainstream method places 80% of the focus on financial statements rather than on the actual bookkeeping that serves as their source. I teach it the opposite way because, once understood, financial statements become much easier to grasp. Cheers, Steve (author/developer)
