What learners say

  • “Bill Hanna, Does an excellent job at explaining every part of the accounting cycle. Aside for his Accounting Knowledge he helped me log into my account as I purchased under my school email that I no longer had access to. He could've totally ignored that but, he didn't. Although I am not a Controller and my role is more of a cost/finance type of roll this helped me think like one. My employer is the parent company of all the properties (entities "LP") this made me think of how to accurately approach ASC 606 Rev Recognition on the Parent's Financials . The recurring expenses idea was very awesome it should help me with Development and been able to build the next projects Proforma. You can apply all this knowledge with whatever your industry is! Bill you did an awesome Job. Thanks, Jose Flores”
