Hi, I’m Lisa.
I’m a CPA and adjunct accounting professor, and I help struggling Principles of Accounting students make sense of the stuff that somehow gets explained way more complicatedly than it needs to be. One of the biggest mistakes I see students make with journal entries is trying to memorize their way through them. That’s why I teach journal entries as a process. My goal with Accounting Rescue is to help you understand why the accounting works, so you can actually solve problems on your own instead of hoping you memorized the right rule. And if accounting has ever made you stare at a homework problem wondering where on earth you’re supposed to start, you’re exactly who I made this for.
