Well explained, thanks and well-done. Great FC!

[@themanfromoregon6047]

I've been rewatching this regularly. In my associates program, we only focused on Income Statement, Statement of OE and Balance sheet, so this is the next big step we flow into during the Bachelors program. This is a super helpful video, and as a tutor, this is the kind of explanation I want to fully understand when I eventually help other students reach their goals.

[@TheFinancialController]

Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@ahss6275]

Excellent explanation & video. 👏👍

[@SkateTakesTheWorld]

I recently landed my job as an audit associate at of the big4 firms, thank you for the great inspiration and tips

[@ltran6535]

Congrats!

[@rayanamer2999]

Thanks man, you are brilliant and doing great things to others 👍🏼

[@TheFinancialController]

I appreciate that!

[@missy567ful]

I used to wreck my brain on the logic behind why we're adding or subtracting non cash items from net income, but you cleared that up. When ypu read verbiage in a book, you want to understand everything, but everyone's explanation could use some fine tuning to see the bigger picture of things and you truly are breaking things down for me. Thank you so much!

[@TheFinancialController]

happy it makes sense!

[@jojojojo-pu1pt]

Hi Bill, just found you today doing a search and i loved ur videos. I wanted to get some feedback from u regarding the career path i should be choosing. I have a BA in finance and worked in the field for 2 years and then left the workforce to raise a family. My kids are going to school now and I want to see if i could get my foot into accouting. My experience at this point is obsolete and i most definitely need some classes to brush up. Where do i start? I really want to try to get an entry level job in accounting but should i start looking for accounting assistant jobs instead? I live in Brooklyn, NY. Any kind of feedback would be much appreciated

[@mariosxenos3795]

Hi there, regarding the equipment purchase difference, don't we count the year end additions before deprecation, i.e. Equipment 20X1 + Depreciation 20X1 - Equipment 20X0? Thank you!

[@the_happy_guy3853]

Hello Sir...Nice explanation! Just one small doubt How do we adjust for bad debt expense and allowance of doubtful accounts in the indirect method?

[@asj2749]

Good video, thank you. How come for when making a profit for selling equipment in the operating section in the cash flow statement it shows it as a negative value. Can anyone explain this?

[@NS-tz3nt]

Thank you so much ! Do you have any suggestions where I can go to learn about this and Canadian Intermediate Accounting course ? It would be greatly appreciated if you did and would help me so much in my course . Thank you !

Ups and downs are inevitable in life. The more favourable the situation, the humbler we need to be. Keep bitterness to ourselves and leave happiness to others.

Notification gang

[@godisgoodgood62]

Thank you for your explanation! One question I want to ask you is; I have two job offers, one is from a Big four another one is a small accounting firm. The pay is almost the same so I'm kind of confused which one to choose for someone who is coming out of college? Thank you once again!

[@TheFinancialController]

Big 4.

[@blixerblacking4211]

what is the difference between cash flow and net income? when the owner takes his net profit by the end of year doesn't that generate outflow of cash?

[@aarkamudug4478]

This was really helpful. But, how do you know which item goes to which category. I know the. Items that go into Operating activities such as a/r and a/p, is there any pattern to follow when doing investing and financing. Activities? For example, if you are given a long list of items, how do you differentiate. Do we have to memorize?

[@seyedsalihu8668]

Please can you send me the link for cash flow direct method

[@christiancartagena93]

Just a question on my mind as i am finishing up my business admin associates, I was wondering why someone would do masters in accounting or bachelors in accounting if you can do business admin concentrate in accountant and be more well rounded kind of the best of both worlds. MBA Accounting can qualify you to get a CPA certificate so why just get a masters in accounting ?????
