Hello! I'm an accounting student writing from London.
I have seen many of your videos which has helped me a lot on my preparation for interviews.
This video in particular has a greater impact on me since I am Ecuadorian. I say this because it's rare to find content of successful Ecuadorian women focused on accouting.
So yes I would enjoy very much learning more of Maria's experience in the accouting industry. :)
Also I agree with other comments, Maria is gorgeous! ❤️
Thanks Diana! Yeah we plan to do more videos together in the next couple of weeks
❤❤❤ God bless you both ! Such a loving inspirational couple. You are contributing to helping individuals in the accounting industry get uplifted . I went to Baruch college majored in a tng and I’m still struggling to move up . I will continue to watch your content and take tips . Thank you so much !!! God bless you and your family !
It was great to hear your story! I thought your wife was lovely and would like to see more of her as part of your UA-cam content.
Thank you so much! She will come back for sure
Woaw, excellent video, great story. Your advices are always helpful, thank you Bill
Really motivated now ! I think now that I have a good future !
Congratulations, I love your channel 🙏🏻, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience 🙏🏻
I'm also from Egypt , proud of you Man ..
That's why I am able to understand ur English 🤣
haha, ok thanks for watching man!
What a beautiful pair you make! I am so grateful for the accounting videos which are enhancing my acct class in MBA program. Thanks a million😊
Thanks for the kind words Cynthia!!!
Beautiful couple and very good accounting channel. Keep up the good work

Greating from India,

Great effort, keep going and lovable family!
Thanks Abu!
Loved this video! The two of your are wonderful and I enjoyed the story. I would really enjoy seeing more videos with your wife that discuss tax.
Thank you! Will do!
Accounting is such an interesting career. Reporting is even more exciting. I specialise in reporting under IFRS and FRS. Happy to collaborate with anyone who needs some help or just want to join forces.
Hey Bill,
Your are videos are really helpful for an accountant..
And it's great to know your wife is also from same industry.
You both are made for each other in the work field also.....
Thank you 🙏
Great video, very wholesome! It would be interesting to maybe have a spin-off video on your daily routine or so since you are both accountants :)
Thank you so much, and yes daily routine is a great idea!
Happy to see you both,I loved your journey together,and having 3 kids is a great blessing,I like your wife so much, blessing u both stay happy long life with your kids
Love from India
Thank you so much!
Really very inspiring your journey ❤️ from Egypt to US great achievement ❤️love you brother and good fair ❤️

You guys are amazing!! really inspirational.
Thank you!
Great story of how y’all met. Love how y’all ultimately achieved the American Dream even if it didnt as to how y’all originally planned.
Thanks 🙏
Great Accountant couple.
You both are so adorable😍. Would love to see more videos on taxation n accounts.
Ok will do
You guys look so great and happy together!
Thank you!
How inspiring... love you both...
Looking great, lovely couple. Way to go brother and sister ❤❤❤❤❤❤👏
Thank you George. This is my actual real life big brother :)
God happy with you!
Man I never thought you were Egyptian.
I ve always thought you were a Latino 😃. Really cool video loved it.
Haha, to be fair, you are not the 1st one who thinks I am latino
Love from India and lots of congratulations from my side (CMA India)
Hi ansuman nice to meet you!
Excited to hear more of the tax perspective 😄 there's a shortage of tax content on UA-cam. I think people don't know that even within tax there's a wide range of opportunities (corporate, individual, international, VAT/Sales). I am just worried about exit opportunities after my time at the Big 4 in Tax
Thank you, sure
Thank you...two minds are better than one!!
haha, yes that's what she said too...
I am happy to see you both. Nice couple.
Thank you Saki!
Amazing… very smart team!!
Thank you Andrea! This is my sister people!!
Great content.
Really want to see taxation related content as well.
This would be great opportunity for those who wonder to seek different things from one platform..
God Bless You
Coming soon!
Great couple. 👍
Thanks
Great video 🥰
Thanks yesie!
Hey Fincontroller our roads is very similar as I wanted to be a doctor as well and just like your wife I wanted to business management but settled for accounting at university.
I do tax at the moment but want to be a financial analyst, I think its more exciting.
Hey Marco, thanks for sharing man!
Can you make a video about switching careers within the accounting profession? What steps can be taken to transition areas. I don't mind taking a lower level position to learn.
Nice... 😊... You both look great together...
Thank you 😊
Omg you guys went to Queens!? I'm studying accounting at St John's. Great video!
Thank you! You are more fancy for sure lol
First of all, excellent video as usual. You guys look very good together. I made my guess on your countries of origin and I was not that far. I thought Bill's accent was either from Italy or Greece. Egypt is close to these two countries even though their culture is different. As for Maria, I thought she was Cuban (I'm Cuban) and again, Ecuador has a different culture but both countries are Spanish speakers. Thank you for all the useful content you upload and I hope she becomes a frequent (or permanent) guess for the channel. Two schools of thought is better than one. Wow, that was a long comment!
You are not far off!! If there was land from Alexandria to Greece, a short train ride would take me there lol. But yes, we plan to do more vids together for sure.
Hey man, for a couple of weeks I've been following your content. I liked it very much and appreciate the work you are doing. In one of the videos, you have mentioned that negative working capital is also a good sign for the company given efficient AR collections and better terms with AP. My question is if AR collection is efficient then it will reflect in the cash balance. Hence, unless cash collected from AR is utilized for general corporate purposes/ Capex, negative working capital is not a good sign.
Hi Bill
God bless you both…whenever I am watching your vedio I am getting something to learn.
As an accountant it is very helpful
And currently I am doing CMA (US) then only I will have some growth in this field which I realized recently only
Could you please kindly explain about the ratios please , all ratios ..Liquid ratios,solvency ratio, and market ratios …I am not getting the concepts yet
Thank you
Both are looking excellent.
Thank you!
Hi BIll sir, your marriage life is very understanding mind in both of you 💐👏
YES, I love more videos of you together ❤.
Will do
Will you do a video about Cost Accounting ?
well done.
Great story! I have never met an accounting couple before. I would be interested in more videos with you two and how accounting has impacted your relationship and how your relationship has impacted your careers.
Great idea! Thanks Sean.
Greetings from India

Hi sir, I saw all of your vedos, really good learnt lot of things. Kindly do vedios on US taxation, tax filing individual, corporate, partnership etc. Or give guidance where can we learn in detail. I came to USA very recently working in CPA firm. Thank you
Ok will do
Hi Bill.....would Maria be able to "guest appearance", to do a vid on deferred tax....based on a case study........this is an area many accounting students are wobbly in. Muchos gracias!
Plz make videos on M&A...and also on Securitization n discounted cash flows.
Bill, this is a meme picture at 9:31.
LOL
I think this could be your alternate pic for your social media profiles.
haha, good one Jason
Hey Bill,
Can you make a video on different kinds of Audit like 401k or SOX audit, or HUD audit and just wants to know brief about those types of Audits.
Thanks
Love from India.
Ok
Great video. You're a nice couple together.
Thanks 🙏
Great jobs guys, I’m an a general accountant at moment even though I did not major in any of the courses or classes but it seems I will like to take some short courses on it to boost my level of understanding. What course would you refer me to take first going forward?🙏🏾
Thanks! we will try to cover some recommendations in the future
hello sir,
Thanks for the amazing contents you placed here for free. it's a blessing for sure. I leaned a lot more effective things here than my 5 year of university education on finance. Can you please do a video on how to find dividends and its proportions by looking at a public company's financial statements. I heard it can be found on statements of stockholders equity and somewhat in cash flow statements too. but I am struggling to find it and proportions from looking at the published pdf files. I am stock price analyst and dividends plays a crucial roles on stock prices. Unfortunately my university taught me zero to no knowledge on how to locate intentions of a company on dividends by looking at their financial statements.
Thanks again
and good luck on the channel
Ok will do
@@TheFinancialController thank you, it means a lot. hope your channel gets a lot of subscribers, which it absolutely deserves. and surely it will help and inspire many.
Greetings from Egypt 💚😅
Eshta Belal!
I am really enjoying the content, and I thank you for such great insight into the Accounting field. I recently graduated with an Associate of Science in Business Administration/Management and am transferring into attaining my Bachelor's of Accounting. Do you think the Associate's Degree will help me in my job search and internship search?
Once you gain your bachelor, it will be all that matters. But before then, if you do a job search now, then yes the associate degree is helpful
@@TheFinancialController Thank you very much!
@@TheFinancialController Another question if you do not mind. I was researching minor programs at my college, and since I am an accounting major, I was thinking a management minor. What minors would give me an upper hand and look more attractive to recruiters?
You both have such great chemistry and compatibility with each other. You guys should do one video on relationship and share your life experiences with us.
Thank you ! Interesting idea :)
Hi! I've been watching your videos and is very inspiring. Could you make a video on Master degrees International students can take to move to US after a bachelor degree in accounting. Thank you🙏
Ok
It must be nice having a spouse with the same career. Your accent sounds more in Latin America. Could I still earn a decent living with just an associate's degree in accounting? I'm also done and I plan to graduate with a 4.0 GPA.
yep, my wife is in tax too lol, she works in government. She motivated me to go back and get my 24hrs in accounting lol. You gotta definitely have her back on to talk about tax. That's a specialty no one talks about.
Lol I guess they know something we don’t know :) sure will do
Hi guys! Really inspirational video seeing that you are both immigrants! I am curious at what age did you both graduate from queens college?
24
Hello , can you share how did you improve your English ? thanks for sharing, story is amazing
God bless you both
Please share more stories together!!!😊
Will do 🙏
I m working in Jeddah but hindi...working as Treasury Manager.I love ur videos. Amalay? عمليه؟
Funny is that I am also in 2nd semester of my Accounting & Finance degree and I had a crush on one of my classmates. I want to work really hard so that I will be able to marry her ASAP.
Might probably I've making a video title:
' I majored in accounting because of my wife ' lol. ♥️
Haha I love it
For work experience for cpa, can you elaborate? I have not worked in public accounting but working in industry as a staff accountant. Does that count?
Yes, it can count but only if you worked under the supervision of another CPA who can sign your paperwork as of evidence of that
Hi, what plugin do you use to run your blog and courses? Thank you.
Teachable
I am going to start in a new career path after working a decade in payroll/bookkeeping. I have a major in business management administration so no accounting degree. Looking towards the contoller route. My new job i will be a staff accountant and work under a controller who is not cpa certified. What is your suggestion? Maybe get 1 year experience as staff accountant than go from there? If so, what is an ideal job title i should aim for? Maybe assistant controller and work under a certified cpa? Whats your suggestion?
Maybe go for my masters in MBA with accounting focus courses to qualify to sit for cpa exam? Or should i just take the necessary accounting required courses and sit for the exam?
work-wise I suggest you stay in this role long enough to learn what the controller is doing. remember it takes 10,000 hours to get really good at something. That's about 4 years. CPA-wise I'd go with masters in Accounting or MBA rather than just taking the credits alone.
Sir,
I have bachelor's degree in accounting and finance. I am interested in both Ms in finance and business analytics. As an international student which has more scope in terms of job market and salaries? Who earns more? Who has stable market and long term career?
Thankyou
Both fields are amazing as a job market
Man you have a great knowledge about how to work abroad especially who has graduated from faculty of commerce....and you would be a unique one on UA-cam more than you are ..if you try to talk to Arabs in general ...you would gain more subscribers ...and thanks for ur videos
Thanks Mohamed!
What steps did you take to work as an accountant in the USA?
ما هي الخطوات التي اخذتها للعمل كمحاسب في امريكا . للعمل انا متخرج من جامعة مصرية في مجال المحاسبة.هل لابد من دراسة ثانية هنا في امريكا ام يمكن العمل مباشر.
You have to study accounting in English. This can be done in the US or Egypt

Good morning Sir I admire your Videos, and I really want to be a fronsic Accountant in in future am trying to complete my Bsc. Hons Applied Accounting this year In Shaa Allah. I really want you to mentor me and guide me through my dream move to be a fronsic Accountant.
Bill I would never guess you are from Egypt ( you not looking like typical Egyptian, nor I did not heard any flaws in accent) I thought you were from US lol. However your wife when she opened her mouth I immediatelly suspected that she is from South America
Yes, I am often hard to guess for folks. I get eastern euro a lot
Ah you're from Egypt, I 'm from Morocco, you're wife beautiful

Saludos a los dos!
