Financial Jargon Buster — Accounting Terms Explained in Plain English
Accounting is full of terms that sound designed to confuse: accruals, amortisation, capital allowances, contingent liabilities, deferred revenue. None of them are complicated once someone explains them properly. This searchable glossary defines 50+ accounting and tax terms in plain English with real-world examples — no jargon, no waffle. Bookmark it and use it whenever you encounter a term you do not recognise.
Why we built this
Financial jargon creates an unnecessary barrier between business owners and their own data. When your accountant says "your accruals need adjusting" or "we should look at your deferred revenue recognition," you should not need a dictionary to understand what they mean. We believe every business owner deserves to understand their own finances — and that starts with being able to understand the language.
