This, overall, was a good course. It served as a solid refresher for me, but it feels like it would be good for an introductory course for others.

Some finance courses can be monotone and boring, but this instructor makes it more engaging/entertaining.

The course is very good, the explanation is understandable and practical. Basically, I am satisfied. My only problem with it is -> that the numbers and Statement structures in the attached excel file: 'Food and Stuff Financial Statements.xlsx' differ in several places from the file presented in the videos. Thus, especially from the CF lessons, it is very difficult to follow the numbers together with the Instructor. Regardless, I recommend it to everyone!

The course has helped me to have a view of company's financial position, profitability, cash flows, and equity. It has also helped in evaluating the performance, liquidity, solvency, and efficiency of a business.

Got more into Financial Statements in details which is good! Grateful for that, but keeps repeating the definitions of some terms multiple time; however, no major problem in that, but consumes time!

working spreadsheets dont match the contents shown in the lecture so a bit confusing to follow and replicate the exercise ourselves, but other than explanation is clear, relatively easy to follow

the Excel financial statements do not match what is being shown on the course so it makes it really difficult to follow along

As a lawyer taking this course with zero financial statement knowledge, it was easy to understand. The speaker's flow and use of examples were spot on.
