Very quick and helpful way to remember the fundamentals of accounting and how the accounts tie into the Income Statement. I liked how he shows the flow from one account to the next, all the way down the line to COGS.

Good start-to-finish examples of the accounting flow for manufacturing and selling goods, "showing your work" on intermediate steps helped think through and link the various pieces of information
