Hey, check it out, this is the first video of Chapter 1: The Accounting Equation. It's thrilling. You're going to love it!

Hello there, I'm Aaron. I designed and coded this site, recorded all these videos, and wrote all the practice problems. I got my Undergrad and Master's in Accounting and then went on to get my CPA License (exciting, right?). I worked at Ernst and Young for about a year but never really loved it, so I quit and became a programmer. I do love accounting though, and I love teaching it, which is why I made this site. Please feel free to reach out to me if you ever have any questions!
A couple of bits of info about the site:
- I've recorded 96 videos, which means you get 737 minutes of accounting (lucky you)
- There are 77 practice problems right now, and I'm always adding more.
- Those problems & videos cover all 11 chapters of Acct 209.
- You can email me anytime at hello@aaronfrancis.com.

Absolutely love your site. I found it super useful as a review during test weeks, and I can confidently say it helped me achieve an A in the course.Jared H.
This website was amazing. I was SO lost in lecture but these videos really helped me piece everything together. I tried outside tutoring but it didn't work. THIS is what you need to ensure you are understanding ALL material.Valeria
Your website is dope, it helped me a lot honestly and I never actually understood like I did when I used the website.Blaze T.
Your website is so awesome!! Seriously you give a fresh perspective on all the topics talked about in class and the vocabulary you use is very easy to understand. The way you teach almost makes the material feel very easy to comprehend.Kyle F.
Your site was a great crash course for procrastinators like me, and watching your videos at 2x speed along with my lectures was enough to do well on the exam.Nathan
