I took Brian Bushee's course and found him to be one of the BEST INSTRUCTORS I'VE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. If you've had trouble with accounting courses in the past, HE IS THE INSTRUCTOR FOR YOU!!!

Not an easy one, for someone without any background in accounting, but if willing to put the effort - extremely rewarding, and well structured.

Very good course but tricky to remember. It will get better with practice and thankfully my notes and the pdfs will help me retain my knowledge.
