Hey there, it's been a while! I'll link to the playlist in the description once I've released the rest of the Inventory Mini-Series.

The fact that I don't even read the book for my classes anymore, I just watch your videos and take notes. What my professor spends two to three 4 hour lectures explaining in a boring way, you manage to do in a blip! You're my saviour.
@@AccountingStuff and you might be wondering why I recently looked up your videos, well I aced my finals with your amazing videos as its a fun learning experience! No words to thank you!
You’re a life saver! We’re covering this in my accounting class and I didn’t understand it! Thank you so so much! Don’t stop uploading! All us undergrad students thank you!
I am halfway through the basics playlist and I cannot stress how great you are at explaining topics. Im doing my MBA right now and I cant force myself to read dozens of pages a day on accounting but these videos are so effective that I can learn so much and retain the information. I tell everyone in my class how helpful these videos are and now most of the class uses DEALER lol. I am very grateful you put this series together, thank you!
You are the only reason Im doing well in my accounting class. I’ve purchased the cheat sheets and A&Q packs, they are so helpful!! Keep the videos coming 😄
Everyone says accounting is so easy but I find it really confusing at times, if it weren't for your videos I would be failing my classes. Thank you so much!!
I have this competition in a week and I've been watching all your vids. It's been saving me, without it I would've been doomed. You make it all look so simple. Thanks!
Entertaining, informative and not over complicated. This guy James is really stepping up the standard when it comes to these type of educational videos :)
You saved my sanity!!!!!!! I dread this accounting class but actually you help me understand it in a simple way. Why do they have to teach in such a lame confusing way.
O MY GOD! I have never seen anybody who can explain all this accounting stuff so clearly, so simply so understanable. I am studing ACCA FA, and each time I dont understand smth I am searching for your vision of that topic. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!! If I would get F3 and become rich ( 1000$ per month means rich in my country ) , I will find you to say thank you personally ❤
been having a difficult time understanding accounting cause I was forced to study it in the university, I had really bad grades and all but that was wayyyy before I stumbled on your channel ive never been so happy about my performance'and its all thanks to James. You make a wonderful teacher. Job well done!
No worries Manuela! I'm sorry to hear that you've been having a difficult time with accounting. Great to hear that things are taking a turn for the better!
Thank you so much! I am going to apply for the accounting position in the company that I have been dreaming of, and your videos help me to prepare for their exams! Thanks for helping people to achieve their goals!
Your videos are SAVING my life in my financial accounting class. You break it down in an understandable way and the edits make the content much more engaging. Thank you!
You're going to be the reason I pass my accounting exam tomorrow (I really hope I do!) Its been so hard to teach myself (my professor isn't very good.)
this explanation is just pure gold - I swear I understood nothing from my lecturer’s presentation, and after watching this video + the one about perpetual and periodic inventory I have no problem with my accounting exercises - they became fun haha! Huge thank you!! (sorry for spamming with comments but im right before my exams and im just absolutely loving your content!)
Hey man i wanna personally thank you for making this content. It's been near 3 years since i last took accounting principal classes and given ill be taking intermediate accounting this fall for my BA i needed this to refreshen my memory so i can be at my best and not be too clueless when Fall starts. thank you amigo
I'm starting intermediate accounting in a few days at uni, and these inventory videos definitely helped refresh my memory! Awesome job, I also purchased your cheat sheets! Your channel saved me!
Thank you for making these videos!! I've gone back to school in my late 40's and I find your videos the easiest to understand compared to the others my school suggests watching to assist learning in our online class. Now to buy your cheat sheets :) Keep up the great work!
Hello James, I hope you are doing well! I'd just like to thank you for your videos! I've worked in the Financial/Accounting department (in the last one since last year) for 8 years, and I'm an accounting student trying to become an accountant. I'm from Brazil and I speak Portuguese, but I've been trying to learn English and with your videos I could merge the two things, practicing my English and learning vocabulary about Accounting. Just thank you! Your videos were great and very explanatory, congratulations!
I was working on an accounting project for classwork and realized the one thing that just was not balancing was inventory and cogs. Thanks for saving my project lol. Accounting is such a dry read but it's easier to see a video explanation.
Hey James, have been watching your videos for many doubts and I'd say it's absolutely amazing to rely on you for different things. We use IND AS here instead of IFRS in the case of corporates dealing with regional transactions but IND AS has so many similarities with IFRS and there's some different of just terminology that's all. For example we use traditional norms with modern ones so we treat account payables as creditor's A/C and vice versa. Even in making of the financial statements we have trading account although not much different since it's a specific account for clarification including sales and purchases and costs incurred ( depends on manufacturing unit ) which lets us find gross profit/loss then operating expenses and revenue as you described after used for net profit including taxes in it only.
Man, you're a life saver. One question for you: How does the purchase ledger transactions get recorded if the purchase journals are just Dr Inventory Cr Accounts payable? I would have thought it would be something like Dr Purchases Cr Accounts payable
I missed my class when my professor illustrated this topic. Thanks for your videos and I am considering skipping my accounting class and just watching your videos.
hiya James :) just wanted to say i especially liked the music starting at 2:51, it was really relaxing and made it way easier for me to focus (not to say anything is distracting, it just improved my learning!) keep up the great work xx
I'm very happy you posted! We just finished the chapters on merchandising businesses and inventory management, but this is a great review for me and I will refer struggling classmates to this!
Hello brother, actually u deserve more than ur expectations! Thanks for such creative sample informative videos to summarise basics concepts of accounting 👍🏼
Thanks bro! Preparing myself to handle bookkeeping for our family business then I encounter your accounting series. Really a lifesaver, i'm about to be done in a few more videos! Cheers bro! God bless in these troubled times. Happy holidays!
Hello James, thanks for sharing the topic on Inventory! It's very clear and easy to understand! May I know will you be making a video on Inventory in a Manufacturing Business as well?
Wow, this really helped me understand all of this. And I now know how the word "toque" I am starting an e-commerce business and was confused how if I purchase inventory, and then don't do anything until it sells, the value of the inventory will go in a black hole and kill my balance sheet.
I am a sophomore majoring in accounting and I was really struggling but your videos have helped me sooo much. Will you be doing videos and selling templates of tips for financial statements such as the income statement etc.?
Thank you so much for making these videos!! It helps me out a lot! Could you do a video explaining consolidated financial statements? And also how to calculate goodwill and non-controlling interests?
Thank you , clear precise and easy to understand the full picture I am looking for info on how purchase returns and sales returns affects the inventory account,,,
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) relies on the value of inventory because it represents the cost of inventory that has been sold during an accounting period. When the Inventory is sold, the Asset (from the Balance Sheet) becomes and Expense (on the Income Statement)
pls.. james you are so great teacher of accounting on the youtube but you just make videos on the financial accounting branch of accounting can't you pls🤌make an videos on other branches of accounting such as on cost accounting, managerial accounting and other they all are broad topics in their own.. so pls🙏 i request you to also cover these topics...
Great video, I started a small craft business. I had been buying inventory here and there before I started my business. I did not purchase my inventory products wholesale because the business hadn't started until about 2 years later.. Will this be a problem when I file my taxes?
Thanks for these videos! I think you mentioned doing one of these for manufacturing businesses that make product and then sell it to end customers and wholesalers, but I can't find those videos. Can you point me to them or can you make some?
Loves your videos. Really deep accounting! I usually have to watch them again and again, but a lot useful information. Please verify this question for me: For cash accounting, can I write off ALL on my product expenses as COGS as soon I pay for it regardless when I sold the item? For inventory shrinkage , I can write off as GOGS or I have to deduct it from GOGS? Thanks!

I've worked in the Financial/Accounting department (in the last one since last year) for 8 years, and I'm an accounting student trying to become an accountant.
I'm from Brazil and I speak Portuguese, but I've been trying to learn English and with your videos I could merge the two things, practicing my English and learning vocabulary about Accounting.
Just thank you!

Thanks Michael! It must be tough learning accounting in your second language. Good luck! I hope it works out for you
I was working on an accounting project for classwork and realized the one thing that just was not balancing was inventory and cogs. Thanks for saving my project lol. Accounting is such a dry read but it's easier to see a video explanation.

No worries Joyi, thanks for your suggestions!
Thank you , clear precise and easy to understand the full picture
I am looking for info on how purchase returns and sales returns affects the inventory account,,,
I'll keep that in mind for future videos :)
Can you explain why the cost of goods sold relies on the value of inventory in an accounting period.
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) relies on the value of inventory because it represents the cost of inventory that has been sold during an accounting period. When the Inventory is sold, the Asset (from the Balance Sheet) becomes and Expense (on the Income Statement)

Thanks for your request!!
Great video, I started a small craft business. I had been buying inventory here and there before I started my business. I did not purchase my inventory products wholesale because the business hadn't started until about 2 years later.. Will this be a problem when I file my taxes?

Loves your videos. Really deep accounting! I usually have to watch them again and again, but a lot useful information. Please verify this question for me:
For cash accounting, can I write off ALL on my product expenses as COGS as soon I pay for it regardless when I sold the item?
For inventory shrinkage , I can write off as GOGS or I have to deduct it from GOGS?
Thanks!
