I have a Financial Accounting exam in two weeks, you have no idea how much you've done for me. This is literally salvation.

[joaodavolimeyer]

you are a legend. One hour of you’re videos helped me more than an entire semester at my university.

You make Accounting so easy to understand. I don’t understand why some professors literally make it impossible for Acct students. I can’t thank you enough!

[danielafernandez]

Thank you for that amazing story professor! I emailed you previously talking about being in this same position. Now I feel better, and I know that if I continue to watch your videos and complete the worksheets, I too, can succeed ! THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOURE DOING !!

Failed my class last semester during my second year and am striving to become a professional accountant, basically putting all of my eggs in one basket. But ever since last semester, I've been so discouraged in studying accounting because I ask myself, "What if I'm not built for this.. what then?" But luckily, today, I finally clicked on this video that was next in the playlist. Your story was so relatable and it makes me relieved to see someone who was just like me being in your position.

So your story hit the exact same mark for me.. it was like seeing a mirror into the future and I will work my hardest this fall semester. Thank you so much, Tony!

With all due respect, I'm not here because I'm studying accounting in college. In fact, I'm not here because I want a degree or phd or something. I'm here because I read rich Dad poor dad and that book literally changed the way I look at the concept of money. The Rich dad didn't taught his knowledge only to Robert Kiyosaki but millions like me. I'm here because the rich dad said "There are 4 lessons you must learn to get rich: Accounting, Investing, Understanding Markets, and the Law". Hopefully, I will complete the step 1 with your videos and Im greatful for your videos. Thank you so much sir!

Thank you for that story at the end there, I recently began intro to accounting and starting tonight I've started watching your videos to study intensively. I recently took a quiz, after a particularly difficult previous week, having missed 2 classes, severe depression, I took a pre midterm quiz. I got a 63% on it. I felt utterly destroyed. The previous semester I had a GPA of 3.85 and I have a huge interest in Human Resources, so accounting and financial knowledge is key, but, I felt like such a train wreck, and the quiz seemed like such a blur, but as your teacher told you....I have to do better on my next tests and mid terms, you can't dwell. Which is why I'm here watching your videos.


Thanks so much Tony, I'll be watching the rest of your videos, especially ones on credits and debits for my midterm on friday of next week. You really are a passionate professor to be putting this much time and energy into teaching, I learn so much from Youtube Videos, so much more than I do from textbooks, it's almost like having a personal tutor. From 3 videos, I've made 6 pages of notes and I feel so much more clear on the last month of school in the past 2 hours.


Really Tony, Thank you so much.

I could never understand the relationship between debt and equity ratios previously. Now I could remember the formulas and their meaning without trying to practice. HOW could you make it so easy? Everyone who is taking accounting foundation classes should be watching your videos. Also, your personal story is really motivating. As someone who just discovered and was diagnosed with ADHD in my early 30s two weeks ago, my imposter syndrome, anxiety, and depression were so bad that I wanted to give up on being a CPA every time. Since discovering your videos, they just gave me so much hope that I could understand accounting subjects and I could beat the odds to become a CPA. Thank you!

The encouraging words at the end was exactly what I needed to hear because I know I failed the exam I took earlier today, so thank you for that ! Plus you taught better in one hour of videos then my 3 hour lectures every week so far this semester

[KadzemClaude]

I have a Financial Accounting exam in 2hrs 30mins from now and I think I should tell you how life saving your videos have been to me. I actually realized that I have learned 80% from you over few hours and 20% from my lecturer over 3 weeks. Thanks so much Prof. I am confident to pass well. Keep up this great work!

[eyrinmc]

I also didn’t pass my accounting classes back then but now I’m re-studying it myself. I realized that what I once thought would stress me out and make it seem like it’s the end of the world after failing to comprehend and find joy in the process of learning accounting, I enjoy learning it by myself now and your videos have helped me a lot so I want to say HUGE THANKS for that!

[ebenezers.oddikoe]

I have hated accounting for so long. And as im planning to do my MBA i realised i need to overcome my fear. So far its been smooth. Thank you Prof

[wasindeedafalseflag]

these videos are incredibly helpful. i dont even think you can imagine how many people you are saving with these. thanks tony!

[benjaminharris]

this is so crazy! i also bombed my first accounting exam (like a couple weeks ago) and I was so devastated when I found out. i literally thought it was the end of the world for me. I'm so happy to see that it all worked out for you in the end because not only does it give me hope, but it also shows that you're human and that this kind of thing can happen to anyone. thank you for helping me w accounting and showing me that it's never too late to bounce back

[DavidHernandez-cxqe]

Finally someone who makes accounting enjoyable to learn

[hansenmaleki]

Hello Mr. Bell.
Thank you for your beautiful memory that you described about your first Accounting exam.
That is a really perfect lesson to learn in all aspects of life for everyone.
Have a great time!

I just started back in college to finish a degree I started 10 years ago. Financial account scared the hell out of me! After hours of studying in my course, it still made no sense! Then I found your videos, printed out the work sheet and WOW! Its starting to make sense! And now I feel confident, with your videos I actually have hope of passing the class!!! Side note, , your story at the end really inspired me, , that even if I don't do so well on my upcoming test, , I can still do this!!! THANKS!!!!

[carincallie]

Heading into an MBA program next month and found you looking for a little accounting review. I wish I had you in my intro classes in undergrad! You are truly AMAZING at what you do and I am so grateful to have stumbled upon your videos. Thank you!
