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.

I am enjoying the videos they are interesting and engaging. The real world practice exercises are helpful. I would like if there was a way to ask someone a question if you don't understand something though.

A helpful introduction into the "why" behind the journal entries we do. It helps folks like me to understand what goes on in the background (chart of accounts) every time I enter something into the books.

Whoever wrote this course and designed the characters and integration of real people needs a RAISE. I loved every second of this material, in spite of its occasional dryness. Bianca is hysterical!

Great review of Bookkeeping and basic accounting principles. It felt good doing T accounts again. And, it was refreshing to hear accounts keep "cheat sheets" on their desks.
