Recent Review: 

Alfred A says “Great course, exactly what I needed.  Sure it’s easy enough to look at an income statement and see if a company made a profit or loss at the bottom, but how to actually use all the information contained in the report was beyond me.  Now I know how to line by line read, understand and actually interpret how the business performed.  I feel like my knowledge increased 10 times.”
