What people are saying

brian bushee

I signed up for this thinking I'd get a refresher but soon realized the instructor, Brian Bushee, is a gifted teacher.

I found it specially interesting for non-US people who work at a multinational companies because Brian Bushee presents a great overview of the accounting practices in the United States.

Prof Brian Bushee has no doubt taken a lot of pains in preparing the high quality study materials.

As a novice to financial accounting, I was impressed with the way the Professor acknowledged difficult concepts and questions, in a way that had clearly been developed from teaching the course to classes over many years.

Definitely a useful course to help wrap your brain around the tough subject of financial accounting.

I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn financial accounting, even if he knows nothing about the subject.
