Financial Accounting for Dummies: Thanks, Youtube!

I am not a huge fan of Youtube. I rarely see it used for anything beyond posting tomfoolery for the amusement of others. That said, I recently came across a series of 5 minute videos on Financial Accounting, taught by Susan Crosson. The pace is slow, and I couldn’t help but feel like I was back in the 3rd grade. However, Susan is incredibly clear, succinct, and offers an utterly wholesome approach to delivering the subject matter. Bear with the sound quality…it can be quite annoying at times.
There’s no excuse for being an entrepreneur or business owner and not fully understanding how basic accounting and finance works. If you’re paying someone else to handle your numbers because you just don’t have the time, fine. If you’re outsourcing this because you don’t know how, I suggest you click the following link and take some time to improve your company’s most important brand (you!).

Nice post. I felt the same way about YouTube for a long time. Opting to post my own content on services like Viddler and Vimeo. Recently I signed up for a new YouTube account and started to reengage with the service. I believe they are starting to get some things right and reign in some of the content.

Brett, love the blog, and you’re on the money (no pun intended) with the accounting stuff. Thanks for the lead!
