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 936 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 [email protected].

Chapter 1
Debits, Credits, and the Accounting Equation
I honestly don't think I would've been able to pass financial without your help. With finals coming up, I feel very confident with accounting and I never thought I would!
So again, thank you for all your help!
— Claire, Fall 2016
Chapter 2
Recording Business Transactions
Thank you for creating and providing these resources! It was very helpful and taught concepts in an engaging and simple manner.
— Joseph Y., Fall 2019
Chapter 3
Adjustments for Financial Reporting
I cannot even tell you how helpful your videos were to me when learning this material. I just got my grade back on my first test and I got an A. I don't think my grade would have been that high without your videos.
— Sean, Fall 2015
Chapter 4
Completing the Accounting Cycle
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., Fall 2019
Chapters 5 & 6
Measuring and Reporting Inventories
I seriously can't put into words how grateful I am to have found your videos for Financial Accounting last semester. If it wasn't for your website I could not have passed that class, my professor was awful and you taught it in such a clear and understandable way!
— Monear, Spring 2019
Chapter 8
Receivables and Payables
So far, your content is looking to be fantastic for strengthening my understanding of accounting concepts. Your video of perpetual and periodic inventory was very helpful.
— Eric, Fall 2017
Chapter 9
Long Term Assets and Depreciation
Your videos are the real deal. They have helped so much and I appreciate you.
— Clayton, Fall 2016
Time Value of Money
The Time Value of Money
I slacked a bit this unit, didn’t read the book, just went to lectures and took notes, and did the required quizzes. I ended up having to cram over the last two days before the test and your site has been tremendously helpful with that.
— Oakley, Fall 2017
Chapter 10
Long Term Financing (Bonds)
These videos alone helped me get a B in accounting this semester. I didn't go to class at all. Thanks so much!
— Natalia, Spring 2016
Chapter 11
Stockholder's Equity
I’ll be happy to spread the word about your site. There’s no way I could have any clue what is going on in this class without it.
— Brandon, Spring 2019
Chapter 12
Cash Flows
As soon as I subscribed, my test grades went up at LEAST a letter grade. I only use your website and the book to study and I am about to take my final exam. I haven’t been able to come across video as helpful or as easy to follow as yours. It was beautifully simple and simply beautiful how you made it seem like a puzzle and that I should not be intimidated by financial accounting. Hopefully this final goes well, and I'm watching your videos right now to get a little review before hand.
