Landed a senior accountant role at the top of the salary range

After finishing his CMA, he blitzed through The Night Before the Accounting Interview and went on to accept an expanded senior accountant and financial analyst role at a boutique California firm, remote, at the top of the posted salary range.

They came back at the top of the salary range (about 100k total - also life changing)... one of the best ROIs from an online course.

What students 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
Jose Flores, Real Estate Accountant

You make all finance related topics so easy to understand. It's help me a lot in my day to day work. And in my interview preparation as well. Thank you for making these videos.

Bill's lecture does not take much of my time as it is very short and straightforward. The best part is that he includes a real-world application of the most important principles, which is indeed effective. The price is worth investing.

Fantastic course. I would have loved to see a lot more multiple choice quiz but for the most part its great.

I think this course is very useful and helpful. Bill's teaching is concise and to the point of which I'm using right now to help self-learn the skills I need before I start my new role as a Junior Financial Controller!
Kevin, Junior Financial Controller
Hi Bill, thought I'd let you know I got the job. I have to say thank you. Your interview videos and thank you email templates really helped me prepare and organize my thoughts.
Terri Geiger, Student
That is probably the best & most succinct explanation of these 3 ratios. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
Alex Davidson, Student
The lectures are simple and straightforward. I love how each section is broken down with examples. I have applied the methods from Accounting Interview. I was comfortable and ready for the interviews. Received an offer and accepted recently! I am so happy I saw your information on YouTube! Grateful forever and look forward to watching the rest of your materials.
Yovana Lowry, Student
Bill is a great teacher and it shows in all his courses. His passion and knowledge for accounting makes learning so easy. As a controller myself I found the course extremely practical and relevant in my own practice. Highly recommend buying the course.
