This course is taught by an award winning MBA professor with significant real world experience working at Goldman Sachs as well as in the venture capital, hedge fund and consulting industries (he has founded several companies and sits on several boards). Many business concepts are simply common sense. This course will focus on business concepts that you need to know that might not be common sense. This course makes the general business, accounting and finance process very easy to understand! The professor of this course is also the author of "101 Crucial Lessons They Don't Teach You in Business School," which Forbes magazine recently called "1 of 6 books that all entrepreneurs need to read right now."

The contents of this course are all based on my work experience at several firms, including Goldman Sachs, the consulting industry at Accenture, a few companies I have started, the hedge fund industry where I worked at Citadel and most recently based on my experience at a prominent San Francisco based venture capital firm. I included helpful practical accounting concepts I learned while I did an MBA at Columbia University and a Bachelor of Commerce degree at McGill University. Think of this course as a great introduction to accounting based on my undergraduate business degree, work experience in consulting, equities, hedge funds, venture capital and starting my own companies.

I have minimized “boring complicated concepts” in this course in order to keep it as close to reality and as simple as possible. The concepts of this course have been taught by me in many classes at several universities, where the student feedback has been universally and incredibly positive (please see my LinkedIn profile for student reviews / feedback on my teaching style/effectiveness - thank you. Also please see reviews of my books in Amazon and here in Udemy on my teaching - particularly in my Udemy course on "101 Crucial Lessons They Don't Teach You in Business School,").

  • Create financial models from scratch (the Professor makes it so easy to understand).

  • Analyze company financials with ease!

  • Navigate and understand how a Balance Sheet works.

He set up the balance sheet wrong, Depreciation & Amortization are not calculated before Gross Profit. They are calculated after Interest & Taxes. E.B.I.T.D.A. = Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, & Amortization. That should be the line after Gross Profit - Operating Expenses; Gross Profit - Operating Expenses = EBITDA. Going okay so far, sometimes he talks very slow, other times he talks very fast. Hard to keep the playback speed at a good rate. Will reserve judgement until the end of the course.

Completely FAILED to correctly show where Depreciation & Amortization belong in the Balance Sheet. No wonder he failed Accounting the first time through. They **DO NOT** go into the Gross Profit calculation! Makes me doubt everything else he does. Course was not engaging nor did it simplify the ideas of accounting for me. Just because "software does it for you now" does NOT mean that you don't need to know how to do it manually!

Accounting Stuff on YouTube is MUCH better and is FREE!

The audio volume is too low and the presentation of a slide show is lame.
