Description

Welcome to the Financial Accounting Crash Course.

This course will provide you with 69 video lessons that span over 10 hours of content (including quizzes to help test your knowledge). Follow along as I explain the basics about assets, liabilities and equity, along with fundamental concepts like the accounting equation, debits and credits, the accounting cycle, financial statements and more!

Financial accounting is the language of business. In business, we use financial accounting to report everything we do. Whether it’s paying our employees, issuing a dividend to shareholders or purchasing a capital asset, we report it. Bookkeeping ensures that we have a history of every economic activity. Summarizing all of these transactions into financial statements provides us with a general snapshot of our performance and position in the marketplace. Having this financial information at our fingertips is key to future planning and decision making.

The first part of the crash course will cover:

  • Basics of Financial Accounting

  • Assets, Liabilities and Equity

  • Debits and Credits and The Double Entry Accounting System

  • The Accounting Cycle, including: Journal Entries, T-accounts, General Ledger, Trial Balance Statements, Adjusting Entries, Adjusted Trial Balance Statements, and Closing Entries

The second part of the crash course will cover:

  • Merchandise Inventory: Perpetual and Periodic Systems

  • Inventory Costing Systems: FIFO, Weighted-average, LIFO

  • Receivables and Bad Debts

  • Revenue Recognition

  • Depreciation and Amortization

  • Intangible Assets

  • The Cash Flow Statement: Indirect Method

**BONUS: Financial Accounting final exam downloadable .PDF now included at the end of the course!**

I worked on my Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Accounting and Finance at Ryerson University and am currently working towards my CPA. I've run Notepirate (an accounting and finance website) for 5 years and have worked as an Accounting and Finance educator for 6 years. My videos have been used by countless CPA websites and continuing education websites like TVO's, Independent Learning Center. 

Growing up in Toronto (Canada) I started my Accounting education in high school at North Toronto Collegiate. Like many of you, I struggled to master the fundamentals of Accounting which eventually lead to me being frustrated and confused. I understand this feeling (that you might be having) much too well. 

During the summer I took some time to go back and re-read everything from the beginning. I focused on the fundamentals specifically, because everything you learn in Accounting is derived from them. This provided a strong foundation for me to teach Accounting because of my original confusion with the subject but also my subsequent clarity of the subject. 

When I explain concepts, you're going to see that I not only provide lectures on the subject, but also provide a deep understanding of the material.

Accounting and finance has not only influenced my professional life but also my personal life. Decisions are made on a daily basis. I believe that a strong education in Accounting and Finance equips us with the know how to make sound decisions. 

I look forward to working with you all.
