The only thing missing is a trial in completing the entire bookkeeping cycle. A little more practice preparing journal entries, general ledger, trial balances, and profit and loss statement would be most helpful. :-)

The course is presented well. I learned in bite sizes which is not overwhelming and makes you want to get another bite. The videos are not just informative but entertaining. This is a very effective way to learn.

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.

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.
