Welcome to Accounting Academy

Accounting Academy is a self-directed training program for Implementation Engineers learning to configure carbon accounting in Mangrove. You’ll work through 6 modules — each with lessons and a hands-on exercise — building on a single project (Mangrove Biochar) that grows in complexity as you progress. By the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • Translate a carbon methodology into a fully configured Mangrove project
  • Build production and quantification models
  • Generate batches, manage ledgers, and produce reports
  • Validate end-to-end data flows from events to credits

​
How to use this course

Prerequisites

  • Technical background — comfort with spreadsheets, data structures, and basic math
  • Basic understanding of MRV concepts — familiarity with carbon methodologies, monitoring, reporting, and verification
  • Mangrove account with access to the Accounting Academy account
  • Mangrove Biochar project data:
  • Q&A through Slack #team-implementation
Modules 1-3 build sequentially — each uses concepts from the previous module. Module 4 (Mass Balance) can be started after Module 1 if you want to explore ledgers early. Modules 5 and 6 require all prior modules.

Course modules

Module Overview

MODULE 1: Fundamentals

Duration: 3 hours
What you’ll build: One event type, one model, one calculated output — your first end-to-end flow

MODULE 2: Calculations

Duration: 2 hours
What you’ll build: A multi-step calculation pipeline with multiple event types feeding a 5-node model

MODULE 3: Batch Partitioning & LCA

Duration: 2.5 hours
What you’ll build: Per-delivery batch partitioning with LCA emissions allocated across batches

MODULE 4: Mass Balance with Ledgers

Duration: 2 hours
What you’ll build: Multiple ledgers and batch types tracking material across stages

MODULE 5: Integration Testing

Duration: 2.5 hours
What you’ll build: A complete test suite validating your end-to-end Mangrove Biochar project

MODULE 6: Advanced Patterns & Production

Duration: 2 hours
What you’ll build: A production-ready, documented, and optimized project with monitoring and operator guides
