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 88 videos, which means you get 892 minutes of accounting (lucky you)
- There are 74 practice problems right now, and I'm always adding more.
- Those problems & videos cover all 12 chapters of Acct 2301.
- You can email me anytime at [email protected].

Chapter 1
Debits, Credits, and the Accounting Equation
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
Chapter 2
Journals, Ledgers, T-Accounts, and Normal Balances
Completely changed the way I understood Accounting. These videos got me through the class!
— Nathan, Spring 2016
Chapter 3
The Financial Statements
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 4
Accounting FOr Merchandising Operations
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 5
Inventories and Cost of Sales
Just wanted to say thank you for creating this tutoring page. It is extremely useful and it has helped me so much. You are amazing.
— Nicold, Fall 2019
Chapter 6
Cash and Bank Reconciliations
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 7
Accounts Receivable and Bad Debts
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 8
Long Term Assets and Depreciation
I didn’t find your site until second half of the semester last spring and wish that I had used it all along!
— Hunt, Spring 2019
Chapter 9
Current Liabilities, Contingencies, and the Time Value of Money
The videos were clear and easy to understand and the breakdown into short simple videos was nice. That way you weren't having to watch an hour long lecture when all you needed was 5 minutes of information.
— Kyle, Spring 2016
Chapter 10
Bonds, Bonds, and Bonds
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 11
Shareholder's Equity
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 12
Cash Flows
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
