    Please make a series for small business owners where you go deeper into the concepts in these video and show actual examples. Like explaining the tax implications of leasing the building for the majority of its useful life and when it's a good idea to capitalize non tangible assets. Also please make a ratio analysis series.

    Totally agree that assets are more than just numbers on a balance sheet! They're like the secret sauce that can boost a company's revenue, give it a competitive edge, and help it stay nimble in this fast-changing economy. Really shows how smart asset management is key to success.

The struggle is REAL so I actually googled this phrase: explain accounting for asset transaction to me like i'm a child. And your video came up! I, of course, started on the first one but really felt the need to thank you here. You have done in a few videos what weeks of studying these stupid books could not do - actually TEACH me! So {{hugs}} to you and thank you for your AWESOME videos!

Sounds crazy I think, but I intend on starting this Spring...I need several prerequisite courses and I will be starting with those. 5 years ago I took Financial Accounting and passed it, but I only took because I thought I needed two minors to graduate......since it's been so long I feel I need to retake.
