Isabel Wilde studying accounting at Macquarie University:"Justin made the impossible happen for me. Never id I think I would understand (like actually understand) what and how Accounting works, especially with zero knowledge two weeks prior to my final exam. I felt confident and almost excited going into my test! I can't thank him enough for his efforts and incredibly efficient ways of teaching. Without hesitation the only tutor to consider! Thanks again Justin"Kirby Gratton working for a major Telco and studying atthe Institute of Company Director's Course:"Justin spent the time working through the course materials in Financial Performance of a Company and giving very practical examples. It really helped me because I do not deal with Financial Statements day to day - so to help put the academic into practice was great Thank you Justin"Warwick Peters studying accounting at the University of New South Wales:"Justin was extremely knowledgable on the subject of Accounting and broke down key concepts of understanding in a constructive and helpful way"

So far it is a good match. Whenever he is describing the 25 transactions, it would have been great to see real numbers and actual account names. Instead of saying that liabilities will be affected, he could have been more specific and said that notes payable would be affected.

By Kerry Coggins on 10/5/2020

This course has been perfect to refresh my accounting knowledge.

By Kubeshinee Moodley on 9/8/2020

Great introduction so far .

By Micah Williams on 8/17/2020

The course was good overall. Felt a bit rushed at times, but it did help refresh me on a few things. Overall, I would consider this course a decent use of 4 hours if you really need a basic refresh on accounting.

By Jessica Wagener on 8/9/2020

simple to understand, would prefer a reworded definition of the period explanation.

By Benita Ruthven on 7/4/2020

YES VERY BASIC EXPLANATIONS

By STegen on 6/27/2020

yes but Justin speaks very fast

By Sara b on 6/9/2020

Material was delivered in a clear and concise manner. Serves as a great refresher for basic accounting principles. Thanks!

By Alice Laval on 5/13/2020

A well designed accounting course, going over all basic and main principles. Each section is easy to follow and has plenty of example. I particularly liked the case study as it was a good way to get more practical !

By Marilia Diaz on 5/13/2020

Great introduction and very easy to follow. Perfect also for someone who's revisiting accounting principles and needs a refresher on the concepts

By Sarah De la Cruz on 4/18/2020

It covered a good range of topics, but I felt that it was rushed towards the end. It didn't go into enough detail in Sections 5 onwards which is disappointing. There were some errors and explanations got a bit lazy towards the end too. Still, it was a good refresher, but it could have been a lot better.

By Hannah Ried on 2/20/2020

This course is a lifesaver! The videos are easy to follow and understand. I wish I watched them earlier on in my MBA to understand accounting prior to the subject starting. Overall I would highly recommend 'The ultimate accounting refresher course' to anyone who needs a well explained accounting refresher!
