Please Explain! Jargon Vs Terminology in Financial MattersWritten on the 27 July 2015 by Janet Culpitt June 2, 2015 | Janet Culpitt Financial jargon explained - It's necessary to have at least some financial knowledge, regardless of whether you hire someone to manage your finances or you manage your own.

Ever found your accountant asking you questions when requesting things for your BAS/Tax return, quite often using their jargon ,and making you feel confused and making the process that little bit more painful? Have you spoken to your Bank Manager or Financial adviser, and terms you are unfamiliar with come into the conversation and leave you a bit lost?
