    Would you like to know what Accounting REALLY MEANS? In this short tutorial we'll take 1 simple example and follow it through all 8 Steps of the Accounting Cycle - from start to finish - you'll build a solid understanding of all the Accounting Basics we encounter along the way. Stuff like the Accounting Equation, Debits & Credits, Double-Entry Accounting, T-Accounts, the Trial Balance etc.
    If you're an Accounting Beginner, then I recommend watching this all the way through to the end - at least once - to get a complete picture of how Accounting works. Afterwards, you can jump into my Accounting Basics Playlist (see below) and explore every topic in more detail.

      @@muemuemue very late on this. But accounting is a very hard college major especially when you get to intermediate accounting. You cannot half ass this major. If you think you've learned the material and are ready for the exam, KEEP DRILLING IT! Because guess what if you plan to sit for the CPA exam the topics will come back and bite you. The hard work pays off though. The demand for accounting professionals is very high and the income potential ranges from comfortable to well into 6 figures (7 figures at the executive level).

Relying on Zoom alone when you’re likely to have lecturers who aren’t prepared for online teaching (which is probably a shame because a lot of people would prefer it to in-person lectures at least 60% of the time) is hopeless and won’t get you anywhere. Many people try that and end up failing and repeating.

I especially love the scales illustration of debits and credits - it made so many terms I never thought about the meaning of make sense - Balance Sheet, balancing the books, out of balance. Also the comment that debits and credits don't mean good or bad, or plus/minus - it's little things like that that can make all the difference between confusion to clarity and confidence.

    3:06 I just have to appreciate that... really. By saying "this guy" and "this book" and showing images instead, spares us the 'distraction' (and images are easier to remember than names, for me). Honestly I get easily distracted by years and names because I don't like memorizing but feel like I have to remember every little detail, and I start to stray from the main idea. So thanks James for keeping me on track of what I am really here for.
    And yeah I'm planning to watch the whole playlist. Thank you for all of these videos. I'm subscribing.

      I’d advise you not to unless you want to specify as a chartered accountant specifically. If that’s not the case for you then you’ll probably have better luck going for something more interesting rather than spend at least four years stuck in a cycle of audit-and-entry monotony. The more humane/international side of the course has enough perks but everything else is just dull. Profitable (if that’s your future prospective career) but dull.

      I bet you a lot of Accounting students who either ended up failing and repeating or graduating with a certificate they weren’t very happy with wish they’d stumbled across these resources in 2020. Lecturers are just fine at the best of times and online teaching should be a viable alternative 60% of the time (wherever students choose to live or pop in and out of) but what’s glaringly-obvious across the board is that lecturers weren’t prepared for online teaching and many students’ marks have suffered severely as a result (even the most intellectually-adept ones). I feel like everyone who was due to graduate during the pandemic or this year should’ve just been given a basic pass and possibly a higher grade depending on the quality of their dissertation/s (which carries more modular weight and lets people go off and do their own study/research independently and without group collaboration, since it’s their individual project/writing). I don’t think the situation this cohort of students have found themselves in since the tail-end of 2019 has been fair at all.

      I’m sure many people wish they’d stumbled across these resources just a tad sooner. I suppose it’s technically never too late but I can imagine a lot of students being pissed and demoralised at the way Accounting would’ve been taught (barely) over the past two years (especially during the heat of the pandemic). I don’t think people acknowledge that enough.
