The PDF files allow us to download reference information we can use offline and as a guide to help us work through the material.
Excel practice files will be preformatted so that we can focus on the adjusting process and learning some of the basics of Excel, like addition, subtraction, and cell relationships.
Multiple choice example question helps us improve our test-taking skills by reducing the information into the size and format of multiple choice questions and discussing how to approach these questions.
Short calculation questions help us reduce problems that have some calculation down to a short format that could be used in multiple choice questions.
Discussion Question will provide an opportunity to discuss these topics with the instructor and other students, a process many students find very helpful because it allows us to see the topic from different viewpoints.
Who will we be learning from?
You will be learning from somebody who has technical experience in accounting concepts and in accounting software like QuickBooks, as well as experience teaching and putting together curriculum.
You will be learning from somebody who is a:
• CPA – Certified Public Accountant
• CGMA – Chartered Global Management Accountant
• Master of Science in Taxation
• CPS – Certifies Post-Secondary Instructor
• Curriculum Development Export
As a practicing CPA the instructor has worked with many technical accounting issues and helped work through them and discuss them with clients of all levels.
As a CPS and professor, the instructor has taught many accounting classes and worked with many students in the fields of accounting, business, and business applications.
The instructor also has a lot of experience designing courses and learning how students learn best and how to help students achieve their objectives. Experience designing technical courses has also benefit in being able to design a course in a logical fashion and deal with problems related to technical topics and the use of software like QuickBooks Pro.
The topic will be the financial accounting closing process.
As indicated by the title, the closing process takes place at the end of the accounting cycle. The main event of the accounting cycle is the financial statements. Once we have completed the financial statements we need to get ready for the next accounting period, get ready with the closing process.
The closing process will zero out temporary accounts including income statement accounts of revenue and expenses and the draws or dividends account.
We can perform the closing process multiple ways. We will consider the closing process from three perspectives. Each perspective has pros and cons and the repetition of each method as well as performing the closing process from multiple angles will provide a solid understanding of the concepts.
Understanding the closing process helps understand the concept of temporary accounts and permanent accounts, which helps us understand the relationship of the financial statements and how to read them.
Please join us for Financial Accounting, Adjusting Entries & Financial Statements.
It will be great.

I appreciate the repetition to drive home key takeaways and easy-to-understand walkthroughs of complex topics. Thank you!
While I'm sure he's quite knowledgeable, Bob reminds me of Ben Stein's, "Buller... Buller...". He's too monotone. Also, he repeats himself WAY too much making it hard to stay awake.
I studied before journal entries and income, equity, and balance sheet, so I think this information is good to increase my knowledge.
The financial accounting course was very interesting, as I learned the importance of not only recording transactions, but largely the accounting cycle.
In fact I never new it could be so convenient like this, At first I didn't know much about closing process and sometimes find it difficult to prepare income summary account. But now much better. Thanks
The course content is lucrative. It has a overview on financial accounting, as well as collaborative study with examples and case studies. The downloadable snapshots are pretty handy and informative to complete the QnA
Good overview of closing process. The final exercise is very encompassing and good practice. Lots of redundancy in exercises however. Could definitely consolidate some parts and expand others although relative to the broader context of other courses he offers not sure how my statement lands. I am a CFA so have a background in financial services/accounting, just looking for brushup on closing since I havent worked accounting in awhile and joining a new finance systems team. It's good, would love for field examples and variations and what the problems and challenges companies at a corporate level encounter but as i mentioned may not have been intent of course.
Awesome to the point course although a bit repetitive but totally worth it. Course teaches exactly what the title says plus bonus at the end of complete accounting process or cycle. :).
