Thanks to Udemy. The course has provided more inputs and insights about accounting and Finance for non-financial professionals in an understanding manner with examples. I appreciate the instructor and the way he explains the concepts. one suggestion is that it would be very helpful if the course provided some additional practice exercises and case studies related to journal, ledger, and balance sheet The course content on Accounting & Finance was incredibly valuable and it will help me. Thank you so much

The course has been designed well by splitting the chapters into small modules. Excellent work. But the flow of chapters seems to be not logical. May be it will make full sense by the end of course.

I am just loving the way tutor is explaning and best part is his entire words are very loud and clear and i m feeling like he is just sitting in front and explaning all the things...

Accounting and Financing aspects are explained superbly. Difference between accounting and finance are given simply vivid. The order of business activity is missing.... It starts either from Sale or Salary instead of Marketing (Business starts from Vision-Dream & Design and Purchase).
By Mohinder Pal on 7/26/2020
This course is indeed true value for money, primarily the amount and the quality of topics it covers. There are few topics e.g. IRR and some videos where the information is scattered and hard to understand. Overall great job Mr Raja.

A brief brush up of the entire commerce we did until graduation...!! Finance is explained along with what is first required to know some parts of finance, and the way this sir explains is easily understood by everyone, i mean like if you are a non-finance executive also...!!
