The development of the economy, globalization, and technologies of information and communication influenced accounting science to upgrade their postulates with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Those new rules were made to unify the registration method, summarize and inform the companies’ economic operations looking to improve its analysis and interpretation. Due to this, a lot of new businesses were created worldwide as independent jobs because of the few opportunities generated by the automation of the production of goods and services. Most of them were formed as people’s entrepreneurs by using their daily savings, family support, or bank loans with low-interest rates. As consequence of more economic activities, the tax weight also increased and, thereby, better accounting control to determine the amount payable of every operation was required. In Ecuador, the entrepreneurs not required to bookkeeping must have daily control of incomes and expenses to establish their taxes, which is the reason for doing this investigation, mainly because they don’t have the academic studies nor enough profit to afford accountant’s wage. The main purpose of this work was to train them to keep accounting by themselves in which they can control their activities through designing and applicating an easy-to-use generic columnar journal.
