I used Farhat’s accounting YouTube videos to help supplement my accounting classes throughout college and with my CPA exam prep as well. As a result, I ended up doing very well in my classes and passing all four sections of the CPA exam on the first try! He walks through complex topics in a much more understandable way and I strongly recommend his videos to anyone who finds accounting material confusing. Thanks Farhat!
