Please put more videos on accruals income and expenses, prepayment income and expenses. How do we treat in the regular organisation transactions. What are the JEs. Treatment in financial statements.
This video explained in 15 minutes what I have been trying to learn for WEEKS! Thank you. The biggest takeaway for me is everything is relative to equity.
You just blew my mind away by explaining the Dealer method in the accounting equation. I now understand how they relate. I have got a lecture on accounting so this was extremely helpful. I about half way through my accounting degree and this helped me understand when I am doing entries how to classify where they go. My professor actually told me about your videos! Thank you!
This was soo helpful for a conceptual point of view. Amazing how a little nugget of information or small change in notion can make a concept finally seep into my brain....after 6 years of classes and work. Thank you very much!!
I am studying Accounting for the first time and it was a bit confusing but thank you to the youtubers who makes things very easily understandable. in my accounting chapters I see fives kinds of accounts like assets, revenue, liabilities, equity and expenses. Here in the first method I saw dividends as well.
In India we have 3 rules for journal entries 1- Debit what comes in Credit what goes out (For example you buy a new computer for 5000 so computer comes in your business so DR and cash goes out so CR) 2- Debit the receiver Credit the giver (This is mainly used for your bills let’s say you bought goods worth 3000 on credit from John. Now here john is the giver of the goods so he goes CR and purchase of goods comes in your business so DR) 3- Debit the expense Credit the income (For example you have to pay 10000 salary so you made an expense so you DR salary and money goes out of the business so cash/bank will become CR. Another example having two rules in one journal entry would be Let’s say that you received 100 as dividend so here Credit the income dividend would be CR and debit what comes in so cash comes in it would be cash/bank DR) Hope you guys found it helpful
I have 0 knowledge in accounting but i want to learn some stuff because im thinking of getting an education in it. This video clicked in my mind and now i understand debit and credit. thank you so much!
(Owner's) Equity for me was tricky to grasp. The accounting equation A=L+E is algebraic, meaning you can say: Assets-Liabilities=Equity . A-L=E So now what are the main components of equity? Equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings
I'm no accountant, but I run a small business. My current understanding of this: When my company sells a $10,000 project, for reporting it must equal my costs for the project ($3,000) plus my equity ($7,000). $10,000 = $3,000 + $7,000.
Thank you so much for such wonderful tutorials. I've been an accounting clerk and really never understood the concept of accounting. I was just like a robot matching, entering invoices into the system. Until one day, I woke up wanting to learn more and more about accounting, how the payable process impacts the financial statement and oh boy... and now I just want to keep learning. Thank you again for your videos!! Super helpful!!
They don't teach Dealer at my school, but I've been tutoring for the last 4 terms and it's the first thing I teach anyone in accounting 101. I'll have to practice seeing how I can break down the accounting equation in a more helpful way.
Hello Bill. I have been enjoying watching your finance and accounting videos. Could you please post a video on explaining inter-company transactions with particular example on software sales between affiliated companies and their impact on balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. Thanks a lot in advance.
I found the equal and opposite force analogy incredibly useful in moving forward in being able to implicitly understand journals and DE accounting when I first started, DEADCLIC just always seemed so clunky!
Thanks for the video. I learned this a long time ago but I was surprised when the bank used the term credit (to my bank account) whenever I deposited money. I asked my accounting teacher why they were doing it backwards and he took the time to explain to me the differences in the recording especially for third parties. And oh I think the Div in the acrostic (DEALER) needs a qualifier since you're referring to a Dividend expense the reverse would be true for a Dividend Income which is rare but could actually happen.
Great video, really helpful! In example number 2, if the PC is purchased on store-credit to pay later, it would become a liability, under the owe-side of the equation, which now requires a credit entry to increase liability and the same debit to increase Equipment (PC) as in the video. Eventually, we would reduce the liability with debits equal to payments made towards the PC and crediting the cash account for the equal amount of our payment. This could take a couple payments / entries depending on the payment plan until the liability is at 0 and the cash equal to the cost of the PC has been taken out. Is this an accurate understanding?
"Owner's Equity is what you owe to the business owners" ...finally this formula makes sense! I cam here just to thank you for this quote. It should be written on every accounting text front cover.
Your videos are amazing. I have subscribed and am considering the 5 hour course! One basic accounting tenet which I cannot get through my dense skull is why $100k cash coming into my business is recorded as a debit. It seems so obvious to me that the extra cash is only a credit. Is it just a term that doesn’t actually mean “debit”?
Welcome aboard! When cash goes up, a bank statement calls it "Credit" because from the bank perspective, they owe this money to us, therefore it's a liability and liabilities are "Credit" nature. We call it "Debit" on our books because it's an asset and assets have "Debit" nature. Hope to see you in the online course Chris!
Hi, I need your help to undertstand that in case of any uncollectibles from customer is recorded as Bad debts but in the books of Customer what accounting entry has to be passed for this?
May be you should explain equation through ..... Business point of View ..... Business owner becomes the Part inside the equation ..... so the accountant becomes ..... a business ..... who keep its own records ..... in interactions with other business and other entities ..... just my thoughts .... I am from Maths background ....
Hi! I recently stumbled across your videos. I’m starting at Big Four in tax this Fall. Any chance you can go over exit opportunities or how to go from tax accountant to controller? I feel like most of your videos go from audit to controller. Am I limiting myself by going into tax?
Sorry, but I am asking a stupid question. @12:55 , cash/computer purchase transaction. Cash reduced= can we not take as Expense increased ????? Plz help 😢
The basic rule is... First you consider What is coming into the business.... For example computer purchased for cash 1st try to see what is coming into the business Computer is coming So computer Asset will increase So computer account I'd debit And cash account is created
Almost right. I’m a year late but always right! lol. It would indeed be an expense if you smashed it into little pieces during the year and no longer had a good working computer for the next year. Then it would be an expense. But if you keep using it year after year it’s called an asset. Later you will learn how to write portions of it off as depreciation each year.
I am new to your channel my question is additional budget which was debited under revenue my question there is a negative amount from one of the consultancy budget which was posted under revenue column a little confused is this not a withdrawal account because it was deducted from the allotted budget? I am questioning to where they used the deducted amount the answere was they use it to pay the deficit my question again how come that the negative amount was used to cover up deficit what I said you put but still the same was taken this is the reason am questioning where this deduction was used Please sir kindly forward a detailed explaination for this I need more knowledge in auditing
This is the first genuine explanation from first principles that I've come across on the internet.
Thanks brother
I’ve always said that double entry accounting, and the accounting equation is sublimely beautiful.
Haha I like it!

This video explained in 15 minutes what I have been trying to learn for WEEKS! Thank you. The biggest takeaway for me is everything is relative to equity.
Wonderful!
This video is golden, I'm about to graduate in Accounting and I have my last big exam tomorrow, this is a quick refresher. Thank you!
I love it. Your channel is excellent. I remember my first accounting class and I remember how I understood everything. 🙂
You just blew my mind away by explaining the Dealer method in the accounting equation. I now understand how they relate. I have got a lecture on accounting so this was extremely helpful. I about half way through my accounting degree and this helped me understand when I am doing entries how to classify where they go. My professor actually told me about your videos! Thank you!
Thanks you so much. I am truly appreciative of the time you took to do this. I have ptsd from accounting in HS. ❤😊
This was soo helpful for a conceptual point of view. Amazing how a little nugget of information or small change in notion can make a concept finally seep into my brain....after 6 years of classes and work. Thank you very much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi I'm from SA.. im 55 and that's the best explanation I've ever heard..could never get my head around those accounting equations
Excellent videos! I don't know anything about accounting but I can understand easliy with your explaination!
I am studying Accounting for the first time and it was a bit confusing but thank you to the youtubers who makes things very easily understandable.
in my accounting chapters I see fives kinds of accounts like assets, revenue, liabilities, equity and expenses.
Here in the first method I saw dividends as well.
Thank u for explaining the 2methods lots of clarity on the concept 👍
Thank youu, it's really useful video. I enjoy it. We need more videos.
This is my first time seeing the DEALER acronym. Thanks for the additional insight. #RookieAccountant
Thanks for the explanation. That was a good and clear one for an engineer to understand.
The Accounting Equation, 100%. But thank you for showing both. Keep up the great work.
In India we have 3 rules for journal entries
1- Debit what comes in
Credit what goes out
(For example you buy a new computer for 5000 so computer comes in your business so DR and cash goes out so CR)
2- Debit the receiver
Credit the giver
(This is mainly used for your bills let’s say you bought goods worth 3000 on credit from John. Now here john is the giver of the goods so he goes CR and purchase of goods comes in your business so DR)
3- Debit the expense
Credit the income
(For example you have to pay 10000 salary so you made an expense so you DR salary and money goes out of the business so cash/bank will become CR.
Another example having two rules in one journal entry would be Let’s say that you received 100 as dividend so here Credit the income dividend would be CR and debit what comes in so cash comes in it would be cash/bank DR)
Hope you guys found it helpful
i'm from india as well.. yep golden rules of accounting really helps one to understand when doing journels or direclty positng in the ledger.
Sooo helpful thank you!
Thank you. How about an example with cash over/short amount. How to make entries using checking account.

❤❤❤
Super Simple ! Thanks Bill for making it very easy.
Thanks bill, Appreciate the explainations on data flow, Great stuff mate.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much!! I have midterms coming up and You really helped me to understand journals, debits and credits. I am extremely grateful.
You are so welcome!
This is the best video ever. Thank you so much. No one has ever explained it this before.
Thanks Harleen!
This is indeed the simplest way to remember how it works! 👍😊
Thank you so much for the clarification! I was struggling until I found your videos!
I have 0 knowledge in accounting but i want to learn some stuff because im thinking of getting an education in it.
This video clicked in my mind and now i understand debit and credit. thank you so much!
Good luck and thanks for watching my video!
Eg.4 AR is affected by credit sales rather than cash,so relevant accounts should be Revenue and cash/Bank,
Credit and debit respectively
This is really good stuff, made it so simple, thanks!
I was taught method 2 in college, and it makes the most sense to me, and to me it seems like common knowledge.
(Owner's) Equity for me was tricky to grasp.
The accounting equation A=L+E is algebraic, meaning you can say:
Assets-Liabilities=Equity .
A-L=E
So now what are the main components of equity?
Equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings
I'm no accountant, but I run a small business. My current understanding of this: When my company sells a $10,000 project, for reporting it must equal my costs for the project ($3,000) plus my equity ($7,000). $10,000 = $3,000 + $7,000.
Thank you. Going to school for accounting now and this is helpful ☺️
Best of luck Latoya

This is fascinating it's simple and clear
Thanks very much and I need a video on ledger account
This was great !!! Thank you!
Thank you, Sir!

Awesome explanation 👌 always accounting equation helps. Not the dealer method as it's confusing sometimes.
Absolute gold 🎉
Lots of love from Melbourne
Men, thank you so much this is very helpful

Hi thank you, I’m a junior in my university and my major is accounting
"Owner's Equity is what you owe to the business owners" ...finally this formula makes sense!
I cam here just to thank you for this quote. It should be written on every accounting text front cover.
Hi,
Many thanks for this. Really helps.
Does this technique and method and your courses work for UK accounting rules and regulations please?
Thanks
Please create a video on how to be an accounts payable staff and what they do on a daily basis.
Thanks!
I already have a video on the channel for accounts payable
Wonderful video.
We use this system in my MBA
13:00 t accounts for explaination

My method is similar to your #2
Assets Expenses AE +Dr
Owners equity, Income & Liability OIL +Cr
AE vs OIL
Dr - Cr
Can you do an example of what it looks like when you sign for a mortgage and car loan
What it looks like on the banks ledger please?
Thanks .You re Amazing!
Dr the cash and Cr the equipment right?
Hi, I need your help to undertstand that in case of any uncollectibles from customer is recorded as Bad debts but in the books of Customer what accounting entry has to be passed for this?
Is there a way to remember the accounting cycle?
Thanks it's helping me
This is awesome thanks
No problem!
Please talk about getting a certificate from corporate financial institute for financial analyst
May be you should explain equation through ..... Business point of View ..... Business owner becomes the Part inside the equation .....
so the accountant becomes ..... a business ..... who keep its own records ..... in interactions with other business and other entities .....
just my thoughts .... I am from Maths background ....
is it okay if i say equity is what we own as a business?
VERY INTERESTING
Thanks for sharing
Hi! I recently stumbled across your videos. I’m starting at Big Four in tax this Fall. Any chance you can go over exit opportunities or how to go from tax accountant to controller? I feel like most of your videos go from audit to controller. Am I limiting myself by going into tax?
Tax has diff exit opps. I will try to cover
The D can also be DRAWINGS because owners drawing also have a debit normal balance
Interesting 😩😩 really been hard for me to get this don’t know why. But the DEALER hack is promising
Sorry, but I am asking a stupid question. @12:55 , cash/computer purchase transaction.
Cash reduced= can we not take as Expense increased ?????
Plz help 😢
The basic rule is...
First you consider What is coming into the business....
For example computer purchased for cash
1st try to see what is coming into the business
Computer is coming
So computer Asset will increase
So computer account I'd debit
And cash account is created

Then it would be an expense. But if you keep using it year after year it’s called an asset. Later you will learn how to write portions of it off as depreciation each year.
At first in class I was confused on homework where up/ down arrows increase / decrease and what goes where.
boooom in my brain jajajaj thank I am a new fan for your videos !!!
Easiest way is to think of everything in cash. A debit to cash increases it therefore you can arrive at what makes anything else increase or decrease.
this is IT! this that video! it clicks here!
Good work CPA BILL HANNA, learning from Kenya
