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 84 videos, which means you get 845 minutes of accounting (lucky you)
- There are 70 practice problems right now, and I'm always adding more.
- Those problems & videos cover all 11 chapters of Accy 201.
- You can email me anytime at [email protected].

Chapter 1
Introduction to Accounting
Completely changed the way I understood Accounting. These videos got me through the class!
— Nathan, Spring 2016
Chapter 2
Recording Transactions
You definitely saved my grade in accounting, and you explained things very well.
— Nicholas C., Fall 2019
Chapter 3
Adjusting Accounts
This website was amazing. I was SO lost in lecture but these videos really helped me piece everything together. I tried outside tutoring but it didn't work. THIS is what you need to ensure you are understanding ALL material.
— Valeria, Fall 2019
Chapter 4
Merchandising Firms
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
Chapter 5
Inventories
Thank you for saving my semester. You rock.
— Caitlin, Fall 2017
Chapter 6
Cash and Bank Reconciliations
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 7
Accounts Receivable and Bad Debts
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 8
Long Term Assets
I was crying outside the classroom about my grade and a stranger walked up and told me to watch these videos.
— Anonymous, Fall 2018
Chapter 9
Current Liabilities
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 10
Long Term Liabilities
Thank you for your website and great/clear teaching abilities!
— Julie, Fall 2017

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.
