The owner, Peter Peck, is a terrific swimmer and pool repair specialist, but definitely not an accountant. Your job is to help Peter put his affairs in order. Luckily, Peter has only been in operation for a month and things have not gotten too out of hand yet! Peter 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 PPC.
