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 stopped going to class when I found out about your website. You offered a clearer way of communicating accounting and I appreciate that.
— Colton, Fall 2018
Chapter 2
Recording Business Transactions
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 3
Adjustments for Financial Reporting
Your website led me to what will hopefully (final grades haven't been posted) be an A in accounting. I told everyone I know taking the class next semester to not waste their money on the tutoring services and to go to your site.
— Monte, Spring 2016
Chapter 4
Completing the Accounting Cycle
I just want to let you know that since I've started your videos (the past two tests) I have gotten two 94s!!! I just wanted to say thank you so much you do a great job!
— Abby, Fall 2017
Chapters 5 & 6
Measuring and Reporting Inventories
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.
— Jeronimo, Summer 2018
Chapter 8
Receivables and Payables
Completely changed the way I understood Accounting. These videos got me through the class!
— Nathan, Spring 2016
Chapter 9
Long Term Assets and Depreciation
Your site is the reason I did so well in accounting! I wish I had something like that for my economics classes! Good work!
— Katie C., Spring 2016
Time Value of Money
The Time Value of Money
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
Chapter 10
Long Term Financing (Bonds)
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 11
Stockholder's Equity
You definitely saved my grade in accounting, and you explained things very well.
— Nicholas C., Fall 2019
Chapter 12
Cash Flows
It definitely helped me make sense of the last couple chapters before the final when things in class started going over my head. I like that you use visuals and diagrams as well as going through examples. The visual for the breakdown of authorized stock is an example of one I found extremely helpful.
— Caitlin, Spring 2016
