Wall Street Prep's Accounting Crash Course?
Hi all, my work signed me up for Wall Street Prep's Premium Package. I just started it and it said you need a basic understanding of accounting first, and suggested taking their Accounting Crash Course ($39).
For context I've been working about a year now, but it's been 4-5 years since I did accounting in uni and honestly I've forgotten pretty much everything, so I'm basically starting from scratch. Has anyone taken their crash course? Was it worth it, or is there something better? Also open to any cheaper or free options if anyone has recommendations.
Also this is my first time posting here, so if I am doing something wrong or should post elsewhere, please let me know.
Thanks!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, if you're looking to brush up on accounting fundamentals, there are several options to consider:
WSO Accounting Courses: WSO offers an accounting fundamentals course priced at $97, which includes detailed video lessons and interactive exercises. This course is tailored for finance-oriented careers and interview preparation, making it a strong option if you're aiming for roles in investment banking or private equity.
Free Option: A BYU professor's online accounting course is available for free and comes with strong endorsements. This could be a great alternative if you're looking for a cost-effective way to refresh your accounting knowledge.
Wall Street Prep's Accounting Crash Course: At $39, this course is specifically designed to provide a basic understanding of accounting, which aligns with your need to start from scratch. Given your situation, it could be a worthwhile investment, especially since it complements the Premium Package you've already started.
If you're looking for a cheaper or free option, the BYU professor's course might be the best fit. However, if you want a course that directly aligns with finance careers and interview prep, the WSO or Wall Street Prep options are excellent choices.
