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
Your site was the reason I got an A. This was the most helpful website, and your videos were extremely clear. I am so thankful it was recommended to me and I recommend it to anyone who really wants to understand and do well in the course.
— Kaitlyn C., Fall 2019
Chapter 2
Recording Business Transactions
I can learn a lot from your videos and they are easy to understand. I have a better understanding after watching your videos which also helped me get a better result for my previous semester.
— Olivia, Fall 2017
Chapter 3
Adjustments for Financial Reporting
I would like to genuinely thank you because without you I wouldn't have passed the class.
— Marcos-Anton, Spring 2019
Chapter 4
Completing the Accounting Cycle
Your videos literally saved me. I ended up with a B, but let me tell you I was destined for a D before I discovered your website!
— Mikey, Fall 2018
Chapters 5 & 6
Measuring and Reporting Inventories
I was crying outside the classroom about my grade and a stranger walked up and told me to watch these videos.
— Anonymous, Fall 2018
Chapter 8
Receivables and Payables
This website helped me pass the class, which is a miracle. The videos were easier for me to understand than the textbook, my tutor, and my professor.
— Claire, Fall 2016
Chapter 9
Long Term Assets and Depreciation
I stopped going to class after the second test and pretty much just watched your chapter videos.
— Ryan, Spring 2016
Time Value of Money
The Time Value of Money
I just wanted to say thank you for all of the time you have put into this website! All of the videos and practice really helped me improve my accounting grade.
— Sarah M., Fall 2019
Chapter 10
Long Term Financing (Bonds)
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 11
Stockholder's Equity
I never went to class and I only used your website for my accounting class! I want to thank you for making all of those helpful videos.
— Austin H., Fall 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.
