Accountant's Glossary
Here at PSVS we are in the trenches every day helping you navigate your way through the various complexities of your accounting-related activities. It is easy to forget that not everyone knows all the accounting-specific terminology we use daily.
We have created this fairly comprehensive glossary to supplement your knowledge and understanding and hopefully answer some of your questions.
Of course, if you have any additional questions send us an email or give us a call: (650) 578-1200.
