They do and Infact since I have been watching his Vids I have surpassed my Books so to say and Aced EVERY test I dont even study from my books anymore.
It's because colleges have the wrong incentives. Accounting Stuff needs to make engaging interesting videos that have value in order to keep you here. Colleges already have your money and don't care about making the material engaging. It's a big reason why our education system is broken.
I’m about to sit my first year financial accounting exams in two weeks and your videos and cheat sheets have really helped me wrap my head around some really complex (to me, anyway) accounting concepts. Thank you very, very much, James! ❤️
You are one of the best accounting tutor ive seen in UA-cam.... mostly due to the amount of work u put in your videos, i know it takes a lot of hours just for 5 minutes video with that i truly appreciate your talent..... THANK YOU SO MACH 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂I TRULY ENJOY ALL YOUR VIDEOS...
Dude I appreciate you making these so much man. Phenomenal pace, enunciation, simple explanation, appreciated hours of editing (I can tell, mate :)) and this is so helpful for my class. You are a blessing thank You so much
I'm trying to clear CPA 5 years after finishing college. My current job has very little to do with accountancy. I had to start from the very beginning and I fortunately found your channel! You have no idea how useful and just fun these videos are to me :) Many thanks!
Such brilliant attention grabbing organised way of explaining things. I'm a 20 year veteran of accounting and a professional but I enjoy watching these videos on basics of accounting
Be honest who has told their professors that YT- James, Accounting Stuff content had help them to better understand accounting than their confusing course materials? ✋
it took me 3 days to fathom on my own what you sorted out in 11.23 mins ! thank you for the superb video ! for an Audio Visual learner like me your videos are a Godsend ! could you please teach us Disposal accounts too !
I just found your channel and I'm about binge watch like I did the Walking Dead. Your videos are clear and well organized, and time stamps too. Wish I found this years ago.
Its my first time to check accounting videos on youtube and went through many random videos and then I found my self spending hours on your videos, honestly you own a school on youtube and I joined it already, thanks a lot for your great work
Hey James, I am from a non-commerce background and going to start my MBA soon :) All your videos are super helpful and clear ! Hats off. As a suggestion-Could you please cover the topic of 'Bad Debt Expense' - How to set up allowances, effect on both sides of balance sheet, how to write off, etc.
I am very thankful to you. I am from India and preparing Chartered accountancy course. I found your videos very helpful in understanding basic concepts of accounting.
Watching your video I realise how useless and complicated my accountancy books are. You make it so simple and easy to follow and by the end of the video I totally understand what depreciation is and the journals. You are amazing! You gained a new subscriber! Carry on like this as you are doing a great job and thank you very much!
I love your videos. They have really helped me study for my competency exam that I have to take in July because I’m transferring to Florida State as a junior this fall as an Accounting major. I think Accounting is my true calling. I have a love for money and how it’s used and tracked in a business. It’s just fascinating to me. KEEP UP THE INFORMATIONAL CONTENT BROTHER!!!!
in the start of the video I thought its an ad cause mostly I don't find accounting video's like these and i really appreciate the way of explanation and it really helped me tysm
@AccountingStuff YES PLEASE! (my answer to a gain/losses on sale video) Your material is an amazing refresher to my classes at Comm College and I'm not studying for a more complex interview for an internship. Thank you!
thanks bro... really appreciate it. been trying to do accounting for wife's company and this is a life saver. everytime i learn something new in accounting, i always thought why didn't i think of this before.
Had no clue why depcriation worked as a great tax write off for assets. Tried reading everything I can online and still didn't get it. Two minutes into the video, I completely understand now. Great video! New sub.
seriously one of the bestest channel on youtube ever made thanks man may god bless u , u helped a lot in my foundational accounting concetps , i hope i shall become a knowledgeable expert accountant wih ur videos as well , thanksss!!!!!!
Please cover Gains/Loss that would be amazing!! Your videos help me out a lot and my classmates. Especially since we are all working online now instead of in school setting. Your breakdowns are awesome. Would you consider adding to depreciation series by adding something about when estimated depreciation changes after a year or two within the useful life and needs to be accounted for?
Omg bro u literally saved my life by discerning what I spent 4hrs on learning but still feel confused. Thank u for these videos N Pls make one about disposal!
Thank you! You're a great teacher. I'm really starting to grasp adjusting journal entries. I appreciate you added the asset disposal to bring it full circle. I'm going to try and find your video about selling the fixed asset.
Your videos are brilliant man, went through all kinds of content today to try and figure out how depreciation translates on the balance sheet, and your video is, by far, the clearest and most useful.
These videos are on point... I really appreciate the effort put into the production of these videos. I'm new to bookkeeping and I've use several videos as a helpful resource for some coursework I'm presently doing in a bookkeeping program... Thank you.
I love this dude! Best teacher ever in Accounting, sir! I appreciate your thoroughness and explaining everything! Currently in Intermediate Accounting 1 and just couldn't ever grasp the Depreciation concept for the life of me until I watched your videos! 😂🤣 Thank you!
Why couldn't I have found this channel when my term started? I only found this channel two days before my exam. Thanks a lot for your super informative and to the point videos my guy!
I would like to thank you for all the videos you have posted. They have helped me understand Fin acc and I can be confident that my exam today went well. May you never grow weary of what you are doing.
Hey, I just wanted to say that you are one of the best educational UA-camr. I love your videos. Your videos are soo interesting, like the connnttrrraaa aaassseeettt
i got my igcse exam coming up in nov and im stressing out big time. until now i was relying on my grade 8 unmindful notes and now youre giving me so much hope!! i really want to ace it and thgese videos are so helpfu;l!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! My accounting course became way easier since watching your videos. Would love to see a video on disposing of assets along with the journal and ledger entries. Also got all the cheat sheets and they are so helpful. Keep up the great work! :)
Thank you so much James! As a visual learner your style of teaching with the graphics is just amazing! Subbed and will be watching more of your great videos!
@@AccountingStuff Thanks James! I just purchased the all in one cheat sheet and am working on depreciation. As a creative, accounting hurts my brain! I'm determined tho😁
I wish you were my accounting teacher, your videos are very well made,with excellent explanations and examples.This channel is helping me understand the basics of accounting and I really appreciate your great work. Keep it up!
In here, they don't use accumulated depreciation account but rather directly depreciation from long assets accounts so it's fun to see these differences. I'm taking this assumption with me while watching the video since i know straight line method is same everywhere
Hi, you are making great videos! Please continue with the gain or loss on disposal, revaluation of an asset and also please consider posting a video about different accounting periods-like year end, financial year and company's year end. Many thanks
Thank you for this channel's existence! I really learned a lot in the past 2 hours watching. I probably learned more today from your videos than last year learning it from school. Your explanations are simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Congrats, that's great to hear! Well done. I haven't got any management accounting videos. But I do have one covering EBITDA: ua-cam.com/video/mHqgsdne_l8/v-deo.html

Sitting in college for 4 years and I've learned more in 2 videos than my entire time here. I am almost positive they over complicate text books.
