Excellent
I cannot express the amount of gratitude for John to put together this course. I am an accounting major and financial accounting was hard to grasp once I got the basics of accounting down. Initially, I knew I still wanted to pursue the major and almost three years later, I have had different and fresh perspectives to help keep this true. This course allowed me to see what I was familiar with and other parts where I am not as confident in. Overall, the case study was very insightful because it provided me with a since of seeking to develop those analytical skills in the financial reporting aspect. Did not want to make this too lengthy, however, thank you for an exceptional course that is worth more to me and others who enjoy this field.
An excellent teacher
Currently I’m studying finance management. John you do an amazing job explaining accounting statements for students of all levels. I really enjoyed your discounted cash flow formula section. Thank you so much!
