About the Course

Financial Accounting is often called the language of business; it is the language that managers use to communicate the firm's financial and economic information to external parties such as shareholders and creditors. Nobody working in business can afford financial illiteracy. Whether you run your own business, work as a manager or are just starting your career, you want to understand financial information and be able to interact with accountants, controllers, and financial managers. You want to talk business! This course will provide you with the accounting language's essentials. Upon completion, you should be able to read and interpret financial statements for business diagnosis and decision-making. More importantly, you will possess the conceptual base to keep learning more sophisticated accounting and finance on your own. Do not forget that, as with any other language, becoming proficient with accounting requires constant practice....

Un muy buen curso, me ha encantado. Muy práctico y didáctico. Los ejercicios tenían la suficiente dificultad como para que si no tenías los conceptos claros, no fuese posible resolverlos. La curva de aprendizaje es muy buena, y los conceptos están muy bien explicados.

This course really broke down balance sheets, cash flow and income statements using teaching methods that made each topic easy to grasp. I especially liked the idea of teaching by following transaction of a business. You learned by constantly applying and practising.

I signed up for this course with no knowledge of Accounting and now I am comfortable reading balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. The professor was very efficent. I had to slow the video down sometimes because he is so efficient.

I really enjoyed the course. The topic was completely new for me, now I feel more confident while working with financial documents. I liked the way the topics are explained - pretty concise, but quite transparent for non-finance people.
