You shouldn't need another 60-minute lecture to review one concept.

Intermediate Accounting is one of the hardest courses in an accounting degree, and there is a lot of material. When you are three days from an exam and leases still have not clicked, sitting through another full lecture is not the answer.

Most lessons in this course run just a few minutes. Find the topic you are stuck on, watch a clear explanation of how it actually works, then practice it. No hunting through an hour of video for the eight minutes you needed.

You work the problem. Not me.

Watching someone else post a journal entry feels like learning. Then the exam hands you a slightly different fact pattern and you are guessing. The Practice Apps make you build the entry yourself and tell you immediately whether it holds.

Try one right here. This is the real app, not a screenshot.

Not loading? Open the practice app in a new tab

Enter the accounts and amounts yourself, hit Check My Answer, and find out immediately whether your entry balances and whether you picked the right accounts. If you are stuck, Show Solution walks through it. Try it on a desktop →

Practice Apps are included for adjusting entries, revenue recognition, receivables, inventory, fixed assets, bonds, equity, leases, and the statement of cash flows.

Learn it. Practice it. Move on.

The free course is built around one simple loop, repeated topic by topic.

Step One

Learn it

A bite-sized video lesson breaks the topic down into clear, manageable pieces, with the journal entries worked out so you can see why the numbers move the way they do.

Step Two

Practice it

For the most important computational topics, an interactive Practice App lets you work the calculation yourself and get immediate feedback, instead of watching someone else solve it.

Step Three

Move on

Once the concept holds, go to the next topic. Use the whole course as an exam review, or drop into only the chapters where you need help.

Who this free course is for

Undergraduate accounting students currently enrolled in Intermediate Accounting I or II. It tends to help most if you recognize yourself in one of these.

It clicks in class, not on the homeworkYou follow the lecture fine, then open the problem set and cannot get started.
The exam is closeYou need a fast way to review a specific chapter without rewatching the whole thing.
The textbook is too muchThree pages of explanation when what you needed was the entry and the reason behind it.
You want more repsYou understand the concept and just need to practice it until it is automatic.

How it fits with your class

This is a free review resource, not a replacement for your course. Your professor sets what is on the exam and your textbook is the authority on the details. This course is built to sit alongside both.

The goal is not to teach every accounting rule in exhaustive detail. It is to help you understand and practice the concepts that come up again and again in Intermediate Accounting, so your study time goes where it counts.

Get unstuck on the topic you're studying right now.
