Easy to understand and practical. Even a college student can easily navigate with the instructions and formulas given. The instructor has clear voice and good to listen.

- you gave us the wrong "sumif" formulas. I had to fix it. Even then Only the first part of the profit and loss statement was the same. - When I was taught income statements, I don't remember "Purchase Equipment" being an expense. Isn't it an asset? -As someone who is still a beginner in excel, you could have taught us how to format the cells properly. It was a waste of time trying to figure out the same format as the one in the video. - I couldn't even complete half of the course because of the profit and loss statement....

This project is decent if all you're looking for basic template ideas for financial statements. However, there are significant issues with some of the information provided. For example, equipment and vehicle purchases should not be expensed on the profit and loss statement. That’s not how long-term assets are handled. Additionally, net income is incorrectly presented as the difference between sales revenue and cost of services; this is actually gross profit. These are fundamental concepts that anyone working with financial statements should understand. These errors make it clear why there’s minimal effort to connect all of the information from the transactions and results for the P&L statement and explain their impact on the balance sheet. While some information is correctly accounted for, other information is either ignored or completely unrelated to the assumptions and information we've been given, appearing to be magically dumped into Retained Earnings just to ensure the balance sheet balances. And the sad thing is, that it didn't need to be this way. This information that is provided is adequate enough to make a balance sheet that works if you insert the information where it belongs. I could go into much detail about some of the other smaller, but equally important issues with this project, but all you need to know if that this project is not a good starting point for beginners nor is it a good refresher on its own. I have to admit, though that it was fun finding all of the errors in the presentation and correcting them!
