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 81 videos, which means you get 817 minutes of accounting (lucky you)
- There are 67 practice problems right now, and I'm always adding more.
- Those problems & videos cover all 11 chapters of Acct 2013.
- You can email me anytime at [email protected].

— Julie, Fall 2017
Chapter 4
Concepts of Inventory
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
Chapter 5
Inventory Cost Flow Methods
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 6
Cash and Bank Reconciliations
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 7
Accounts Receivable and Bad Debts
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
Chapter 8
Long Term Assets and Depreciation
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., Fall 2019

Liabilities
I wanna say thank you very much for doing the videos. I just got my grade and I made an A in accounting, and I must say I owe it to you and your videos.
— Daniel, Spring 2016
Chapter 10
Bonds, Bonds, and 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
Shareholder's Equity
Honestly, if it weren't for your website, I would not have passed this class. I bombed the first two exams with 50s, but then after one of my friends told me about your website, I managed to bring my next exam score up to a 77. I did better than the class average of 68! Your videos are super clear and easy to follow. I appreciate how much effort you put into them.
