Id be glad to. Initially, the best thing to do is master financial accounting. Any financial accounting text book should do (the one i learned from is unique to my school unfortunately, but it was an excellent book, if I find a link to it Ill post it). It sounds tedious, but its pretty important to know this before anything. If you give me an idea of where you are, I could give you more relevant resources. If you are starting from a blank slate, this is the best place to start.

I have degrees in finance and economics and worked in banking for a few years. Skip the heavy advanced texts and get Essentials of Accounting by Anthony and Breitner.
