Thank you! Most of the banking videos are usually super long or not detailed enough, so this 15 min vid strikes a great balance!

This was great, could you make more complex videos of solving and explaining interview type questions - thanks!

[@financialmodeling]

There are some older videos in this channel on common accounting interview questions if you do a search. We may do more in the future.

Do investors usually prefer to see a negative or positive change in NWC?

[@financialmodeling]

A positive Change in WC is always better from a cash flow perspective. There's a video on the Change in Working Capital if you search this channel or look in the accounting playlist.

Can you please address the “creative” side of accounting and how Finance professionals can manage the results without having to micromanage every entry? By “creative” I mean how 10 accountants will have 10 different AJE’s for the same scenario and they will all be acceptable under GAAP.

It's an interesting topic but not really a core focus of this channel or something we know much about. As someone working on deals or advising large companies, you need to understand high-level accounting but not the details down to that level. So our coverage focuses more on the main concepts rather than journal entries (can't imagine a banker ever asking about them in a standard interview).
