The benefit is great and the information I get will support me a lot in my practical life

Professor Berry is breaking hard terms and information down to a level that is in bite size steps. This makes it less intimidating and easier to follow. I appreciate that and look forward to what else he teaches in these lessons.

Really it's an interesting course & especially the way Mr. Tim is explaining each part of it I am enjoying learning this course.

As an aspiring startup retail business owner, I have taken other finance courses and this one is hands down the best. Tim explains in simple terms and simple examples. I have a MUCH further grasp of what I need to do than I did before taking this course. Thank you!

Overall the material feels a bit dated, a more modern look could make it more appealing. Also it would be great to hear about examples that also takes "digital" companies into consideration as well. E.g what could be a a cost of sale for a software company without any physical items?

This guy is great!! He's truly invested in our learning and pays attention to the details. One of the best Udemy courses I've taken so far. Extremely knowledgeable

I’ve watched many videos on accounting and financials on Udemy and this is by far the course that I can relate to! As a entrepreneur and a person who is a bit “afraid” of the language of business I am gaining valuable information! Thank you!!!
