Scenario
You’ve just secured a new client in your accounting practice, the Rawls Repair Corporation (RRC), a brand new
small business specializing in bicycle repair. The owner, Rob Rawls, is a terrific cyclist and bike repair specialist, but
definitely not an accountant. Your job is to help Rob put his affairs in order. Luckily Rob has only been in operation
for a month and things have not gotten too out of hand yet! Rob 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 RRC.
