FA1 - Introduction to Financial Accounting

[@BorisMediaProds]

I just wanted to put this here fo everyone. I took financial accounting this year for the first time without any prior knowledge. I didn't really go to class nor did I go to any of my lab sections. I came across this channel, and this playlist just a few days before my first midterm. I watched every video and paid close attention to how you do things. Fast forward to now, I scored 94% on both midterms without ever stepping foot into a class, or labs, or reading the textbook. Your videos are that good, they literally taught me everything I needed to know, fast and effective.

[@Tony-Bell]

Thanks!

My question though is does any money as in credit cards used outside the business are they considered liability in the business ?

[@anthonypaladino1006]

@@princeocquaye5877 Don't know what U mean ?? My question was do I count all credit cards as liability? meaning I have personal and business credit cards, so Do I lump them together or keep the separate ??

Don't bother buying the textbook for your Financial Accounting course - save yourself the money and go through this instead. This course is worth the $10/mo. Trust me!! I had a HORRIBLE Financial Accounting instructor at my school and this course got me an A in it without ever opening my textbook. Easy to digest and packed with great content. Print out the workbook! Thank you Tony!!!!!

[@Tony-Bell]

Thank you for your kind comment! Good luck in your classes :)

Hi Professor Bell, I'm currently an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley studying economics and data science and just wanted to give you a shoutout for how helpful your videos are! Your videos made me more interested in accounting and I decided to take financial accounting and managerial accounting as a result.

To anyone who is starting financial accounting watch all of Tony's videos as you are taking the course it will make your life so much easier and you will understand the material so much more efficently. I found these videos by the end of my financial accounting class and they helped me understand the course so much more.

This is probably the best channel on accounting i have across. Narrator explains everything so well and keeps it interesting. Great job.

[@itsnotif.itswhen]

This is why people tend to say to learn better, you need to forget what you know first. I am a full time accountant with 1 year experience. This saying just applied to me now. I am blown away by how simple Tony puts it. As I always know the accounting equation, A = L + SE, I never thought of it as you bought a house $300k as assets, took out loans $200k, so you will have $100k profit if you sell it. I just had like an OMG moment when I went "duh". As an ESL person, I always thought SE term is so complicated, not to mention dividend, common shares, retained earnings and how they all link together. I can't wait to watch the rest of the Financial Accounting playlist as well as Managerial Accounting (what I struggled the most during college). Pure gold knowledge that Tony put out there for free on KZbin. Thank you so much!

I see a lot of negative reviews about learning from KZbin. Now I know why people do that. They probably see content like this as a threat to their own techniques of teaching. I have learnt more from KZbin than I did by paying for education at university. KZbin is just like any traditional university. The only difference is here it is virtual and you have to be dedicated to learning as no one will hold your hand to guide you. But then here you have the option to learn from multiple instructors at one time. That cannot be a bad thing.
