Know What a Transaction is Actually Doing

Learn how to read a transaction, identify what changed, and choose the correct accounts before worrying about which account gets debited or credited.

Stop Guessing at Debits and Credits

Build debit-and-credit logic using account classification, normal balances, DEALER, T-accounts, and repeated practice instead of relying on memorized tricks.

Go From Transaction to Trial Balance

See how journal entries move into the ledger and ultimately into the unadjusted trial balance so the accounting process finally feels connected instead of random.

Course 1 Was Built for You If...

You know there are rules for debits and credits, but you're never completely sure which rule applies. You can follow a journal entry when someone else works it, but freeze when you're given a new transaction. You mix up assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses. T-accounts and normal balances feel like another list of things you're supposed to memorize. You understand individual examples but don't understand how journal entries, ledgers, and the trial balance connect. Your accounting class is moving faster than your understanding. You're worried that if you don't fix the foundation now, the next chapters are going to be even harder. If you recognized yourself in more than one of those, Course 1 is exactly where I would start.

Learn the Logic

Get clear explanations that break accounting into manageable steps and show you why the rules work.

Practice it Yourself

Use guided workbooks and practice questions to apply what you've learned instead of only watching someone else do accounting.

Find It. Fix It. Try Again.

Use the answer keys to identify where your thinking went wrong, correct the mistake, and build enough repetition to work through new problems more independently.

Fix the Foundation Everything Else in Accounting Builds On

The beginning of Principles of Accounting I and Intro Accounting can feel deceptively manageable. Then the terminology piles up. Assets. Liabilities. Equity. Revenue. Expenses. Normal balances. Debits. Credits. T-accounts. Journal entries. Ledgers. Trial balances. And suddenly you're expected to use all of those ideas at the same time. That's where Accounting Foundations Rescue comes in. This course slows down the beginning of the accounting cycle and shows you how the concepts connect. You'll learn to move through accounting problems in a logical order. Instead of treating every new chapter like another collection of rules to memorize, you'll build a process you can keep using. Accounting Foundations Rescue is designed to work alongside your Principles of Accounting class, especially when your class is moving faster than your understanding.

Don’t Wait Until You’re Completely Lost

Accounting has a habit of making an early misunderstanding show up again three chapters later. If account classification isn't solid, debits and credits become harder. If debits and credits aren't solid, journal entries become harder. If journal entries aren't solid, posting and the trial balance become harder. Your accounting class doesn't stop while you go back and figure out what you missed. Fix the foundation now, before you're trying to learn new material while simultaneously relearning the old material.

Meet Lisa, Your Accounting Rescue Professor

Hi, I'm Lisa Habash—a CPA, accounting professor, former Big 4, and still work in public accounting at a mid-tier firm. I teach hundreds of students financial accounting, which means I see exactly where Principles of Accounting students tend to get stuck, and which early misunderstandings cause problems later. My goal isn't to water accounting down or teach shortcuts that only work for one homework problem. I explain accurate accounting concepts in normal human language and show you how the pieces fit together.

Still Deciding? Here's What You Might be Wondering.

Can't I just find this on YouTube? Absolutely. There is plenty of free accounting content online. What you're paying for here is structure: lessons taught in sequence, guided workbooks, complete answer keys, and 200+ practice questions designed to work together. Is this a replacement for my accounting class? No. Accounting Foundations Rescue is designed to work alongside an introductory Principles of Accounting course when your textbook, lecture, or homework has moved on before the concept really clicked. I'm already several weeks into class. Is it too late? No. That's often when students first realize something from the beginning of the course never fully clicked. Rebuilding the foundation can make the later material much easier to understand. Do I need to be an accounting major? No. This course is for students learning introductory financial accounting, whether you're majoring in accounting or taking it because another business degree requires it. How long do I have access? Individual Course 1 purchases include 150 days of access. Bundled purchases include lifetime access.

Need Help With the Entire Accounting Cycle?

Course 1 takes you from the foundations of accounting through the unadjusted trial balance. If you already know you'll also need help with adjusting entries, financial statements, and closing entries, the Accounting Rescue Bundle may be the better fit.
