After taking this course, I can see where & how I can apply my skills and love for numbers. I am confident in my decision and cant wait to put all the pieces together.

Thank you, Coursera & Intuit!

This course was well put together. I used to feel so intimidated by finances. The interactive videos and practice exercises do a fantastic job of explaining concepts learned throughout this course.

Easy to follow, well-structured. The cartoons were kinda cheesy, but better than a super bland textbook.

Good content. The main narrating voiceover has an artificial sounding accent and I found it distracting.
