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 102 videos, which means you get 997 minutes of accounting (lucky you)
- There are 79 practice problems right now, and I'm always adding more.
- Those problems & videos cover all 12 chapters of Acct 229.
- 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
The Financial Statements
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 3
Journals, Ledgers, T-Accounts, and Normal Balances
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 4
Differences in Timing, Adjusting Entries, and the Closing Process
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 5
All About Inventory
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.
— Nadia Lynn, Fall 2018

Cash and Bank Reconciliations
So far, your content is looking to be fantastic for strengthening my understanding of accounting concepts. Your video of perpetual and periodic inventory was very helpful.
— Eric, Fall 2017
Chapter 7
Accounts Receivable and Bad Debts
Thank you for your website and great/clear teaching abilities!
— Julie, Fall 2017

Long Term Assets and Depreciation
Thank you for creating and providing these resources! It was very helpful and taught concepts in an engaging and simple manner.
— Joseph Y., Fall 2019

Thank you so much for your website and for the time and effort that you put into it. It has been a huge help.
— Josh, Spring 2018
Chapter 10
Bonds, Bonds, and Bonds
Thank you so much for the videos you put together. They are a tremendous help and I really appreciate all that you do!
— Conner, Fall 2015
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
Your videos have truly helped more than I could ever explain! They gave me such a good guideline for how to solve problems, and how you go through each problem step-by-step makes accounting seem so much easier.
— Caitlyn, Spring 2018
