Not BIWS, WSP, WSO - what are the best FUNDAMENTAL ACCOUNTING RESOURCES

Not an accounting / finance student at a top target. I’m a humanities student who is incredibly sharp, used BIWS to land a top BB SA and converted to an even better EB FT. While BIWS was comprehensive - I don’t feel my SA experience + that adequately prepared me for the fundamentals of modeling / other analyses an analyst would need to crank out. What would you recommend to really hammer home the fundamentals of accounting, basic three statement modeling stuff?
