[@MrDonkaun]

amazing clarity.

[@TheFinancialController]

Thanks rohit!

I'm a physical therapist who's planning on going back to school to get a business degree. I'm using your videos to help me gain fundamental knowledge before I enroll in a program. You explain things very well :)

[@rossbriannestein5054]

I have always thought of accounting as not necessarily math, but rather organizating financial information of a business. This video is really good.

[@TheFinancialController]

Thanks Ross

[@elvisadrianable]

I would love to see a video in which you explain the cut off procedures, how to properly analyze each financial statement in order to valuate a company, and how we can optimize a company's operations / expenses based on the analysis of the financial statements. Thank you and keep posting, your videos are extremly useful!

[@TheFinancialController]

Thanks! I appreciate your video ideas, keep them coming! I will make sure to cover these topics in the near future.

[@unehistoiredechiffres]

Hi! I'm a french management controller and i improve my english with your videos ! thank's a lot ! :)

[@TheFinancialController]

Well that makes me very very 😃

[@lisamccray6481]

I couldn't help but to think of a "stick man" walking away with a "brief case" marked, Retained Earnings. 😎 I really needed to hear this is plain, plain terms. It helps with "not stressing" over accounting fundamentals. This stuff is still very difficult for me. I'm struggling, but then again, I am doing better day by day. Again I'm an accountant in Pampers. Thanks for the Gerber. No, really. This stuff is hard (to me anyway). Keeping it real. I read the other man's comment. I'm nowhere near there yet.

[@TheFinancialController]

I am glad it’s helpful

[@thorbaaformatha]

I have been doing assistant management accounting positions for a while and then moved to a data analyst position for the last 5 years and lost some of the core principles of accounting..I have been watching your videos religiously to gain the fundamental knowledge back and start my ACCA exams and landed myself a management accountant job here in the UK..I just want to say you can hardly find a channel to explain things with clarity the way you do and I hope one day when I am qualified I will capture this niche market and do the same..keep uploading brother..I wish you nothing but more success!!

[@TheFinancialController]

Thanks brother

I just switched from a non accounting job to an accounting job with the Big 4 and this is the refresher I needed!

[@dianagabrielaaldeanquinter4940]

This explenation was so helpful! I am preparing for an interview for a placement year and I thought to review all the topics I had done through out my first year of Uni. Your explenations have been so clear that I won't have to spend too long on reviewing my notes. Thank you for your exceptional job!👍

[@wasifkazi6869]

I've heard corporate finance and tax are the "harder" subjects for accounting students. I will be checking out your other videos to see if there's anything there that can help me prep for school as I do not have any prior accounting knowledge. This video helped me a lot.

[@martatrzmielewska5962]

Hello Bill, Thank you for all your videos which have been amazingly helpful. I'm starting my way up to accounting and just watched this video that covers so much of the ground and explains principles clearly. As I said, I am new and there is one thing I would love you to clarify for me please. So last part of video which is CASH FLOW statement, we start with Cash received from customers which is 30, 000. And my question is why at the end it says the Beginning Cach is 35, 000? Is it because you add 5,00 of outflow? Sorry for my misunderstanding. I would apprecieate a lot if someone could make it clear for me. Thank you for all your help!!!

[@1laurachannel]

I haven't understood that too!! at the bgin you have 30K and in the end is like you have 5K out right?

[@ronaldrivera8423]

How come the beginning cash is $35k and ending cash is $30k. Can you explain how you came up with the #'s

[@mikazvis6231]

im new to accounting so my interpretation may be incorrect, but this is how i understood it: - calculate total cash from each section: Operating, Investing, Financing - Operating: 10,000 - Investing: (5,000) - Financing: (10,000) - add all section totals. note that parentheses means negative. 10,000 + (-5,000) + (-10,000) = -5,000 aka (5,000) - the sum of the section totals in your cash flow statement is the total cash in/out flow. - beginning cash is an account. its number is how much cash a company actually has. it was not really calculated in the example since it was already given - in order to find ending cash to update the cash account, you must add the total cash in/out flow with the beginning cash 35,000 + (-5,000) = 30,000 so 30,000 is ending cash
