Understand the why behind the formulas

Other courses throw endless formulas at you to blindly memorize. Then exam day changes the facts slightly, and suddenly you mix up the formula, forget which direction the adjustment goes, and start guessing.

I show you the journal entries and the why behind them, so you can reason your way through questions you've never seen before.

The Max Yield Method

Your time is limited. Maximize the yield of every study session.

Helping 1,000+ students pass has taught me which topics decide the exam: the difference between high-yield and low-yield topics.

High Yield — Go Deep

On a high-yield topic like leases, we dive deep into the mechanics of the journal entries, from the initial lease liability entry to the end of the lease life.

Low Yield — Minimized

On a low-yield topic like troubled debt restructurings, we quickly cover the rules in case it shows up, then get right back to the high-yield topics.

Previously I was using Becker, but I kept losing focus with their long lectures. Maxwell CPA Review made each subject easier to understand and was able to condense all the important topics.

Example-Based Answer Explanations

Initial lease liability (Jan 1, Year 1)$112,500
Interest expense (8% × $112,500)+ 9,000
Payment made Dec 30, Year 1− 10,000
Lease liability at Dec 31, Year 1$111,500
