Really great course and a useful one in terms of clearing the finance terms and how a company creates a balance sheet and how can we evaluate a company's position by looking at one's sheet.

Excellent presentation of materials and overarching concepts. I particularly appreciated being introduced to the small business owners and the accounting issues that they face each day.
