Sandra E says “Chris definitely is a pro when it comes to accounting. His style of instruction is easy to follow, fun, and you will be empowered with accounting knowledge beyond the basics after this course. I had several questions and Chris was quick to reply and help answer them. As an entrepreneur I'm still learning the ropes on the finance side, and this course was perfect. Highly recommended for everyone!”
What You Will Learn In This Course
The world of accounting can be vast and complex at times. Once you get past the debits and credits, general ledger entries and financial reports, you realize there is much, much more to it! In this course you and I will cover that much, much more!
Learn the advanced accounting topics you only touch on in school, but actually are much more prevalent in the real world.
This course goes into further detail, continuing on from my Introduction to Finance and Accounting for Startups course. We will focus on some general accounting topics that impact all companies, as well as specific topics of interest to growing companies.
Issues such as deferred revenue, inter company accounting, international transactions accounting, and foreign currency accounting are discussed. While interrelated, these modules can be taken individually if there are specific issues you want to focus on.
Additionally, we talk about accounting for partnerships, as well as how to treat options, warrants, and other forms of derivatives. Included are examples, the pros and cons of various instruments, and how they will impact your finances.
The last part of the course focuses on financial reporting for multiple entities by consolidating subsidiaries, how to handle intangible assets, and lastly how to determine the type of lease agreements and accounting for them.
There is a downloadable item for each section, typically a checklist or example (for example, a sample partnership agreement). There is also a quiz for each section.
The video content for the course is approximately 5 hours. Students should as well expect to spent approximately 2 hours completing quizzes, and an additional 2 hours reviewing the downloadable content.
If you are a startup CEO or small business, don't be scared any longer of business accounting and finance. Learn today how to manage your finances and grow your business!
I will help you!
At any point during the course if you are confused or need clarification, send me a message! I'm here to help YOU the student, and I love interacting with you. I've been in accounting & finance over 20 years and can most likely answer your question.
If you are ready to roll up your sleeves, then lets get started today!
I have also included a copy of my ebook "Fund Your Startup by Chris Benjamin" which you will find as a download in the last lecture. Learn your options for funding, where to find investors, how to wow them, and lastly the must do steps to successful funding!

The PDF section is currently unable for me to download it. Also I hope there's more of a real-life example for the Accounting application.

First of all thank you for Udemy foundation which tries to flourish children with advanced knowledge sources.It was actually a very good experience.
By Lyvia Kijwire on 7/7/2020
The course is nice but the examples are not enough and thoroughly explained for average learners. Also the videos keep pausing in the middle of the lectures.. don't know if it's something to do with the server
By Waleed A. Alturki on 6/9/2020
The course is good regarding to containing varies topics but there is lack of explaining of accounting treatment. The audio of the structure is low volume.
By Parth Tamhankar on 10/25/2019
It was an amazing experience, I'm definitely looking for more of such courses to improve my knowledge.
By Mike on 6/25/2019

By Draco Pharma on 5/5/2018
Glad I signed up for the advanced accounting as well. Lots more covered in this course which directly applies to my job. Learning lots about topics that I thought were complicated but turns out they arent so bad once you take the time to learn.
By William Dakmak on 6/3/2016
I enjoy the course. The instructor is excellent. I thought the white board should be set at least on half screen. The quiz is too easy
