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].

    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.

    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.
