Prof Bushee is fantastic. He makes accounting about as entertaining as it can possibly be, and is able to clearly communicate complex abstract concepts.

Superb demonstration of a traditionally dry subject. If you like accounting and/or properly recognizing revenue as a SMB, this course is a great start.

This was not an easy course, but the material made it very worthwhile. A lot of financial statements I've seen over the years make a lot more sense.
