Thank you for your very informative videos. I am 38 and just now getting a college education. I have chosen to get a bachelors in accounting and want to pursue an MBA in finance... I will try to get a CPA as well. It feels like a long ladder to climb. I wish I had had the opportunity much sooner. But, better late than never!

I studied this like 20 years ago , but never got to practice it in real life and now I just feel like a complete financial illiterate, thank you for saying it in simple terms

You provide such rich resources on your channel. I wish I had you as a professor while I was in business school.

It would be great if you did a video going over financial statements for Apple, Meta, Microsoft, etc and go over all the line items and explanations. Great videos!

This is so concise…thank you, thank you, thank you. For someone who is new to bookkkeeping & failed accounting 3 times in college, it makes me second guess myself. Thing is I do the books for my husband’s new business so I have no choice…you truly add value!

Accounting isn't my background exactly although Financial Managerial Analysis is we still work with accounting as we manage accounts. I am ssssssssssssssuper excited to run into your channel. When I studied Finance a few years ago it was really hard to find other resources that help break down FS. You have to find multiple outlets to help grasp the concepts in your studies, well at least I needed it. I can't find anyone local that tutors in this stuff specifically or to brainstorm with. Hands on is always the best way to get better at what you do and I am still learning while just a year of working fully on financials. I'm new to your channel and looking forward to watching many of your videos. Thank you. Keep'em coming!!!!!

Thank you for your analysis that help me get the new job in a new position. Thank you so much!❤

Title: "Financial Statement Analysis Types: A Guide for Corporate Controllers" Summary: In this video, financial controller Bill Hannah provides an insightful overview of financial statement analysis, explaining the four main types of analysis used by corporate controllers. These analysis types are crucial for understanding a company's financial health and making informed business decisions. The key points covered in the video include: 1. Accounting Analysis: - Focuses on finding accounting errors in financial statements. - Commonly involves month-over-month horizontal analysis to detect discrepancies. - Goal is to identify and rectify accounting mistakes. 2. Actual vs. Budget Analysis: - Compares actual financial results to budgeted figures. - Helps in evaluating performance against financial targets. - Aids in decision-making by assessing budget adherence. 3. Vertical Analysis: - Examines line items on the income statement as percentages of total revenue. - Evaluates the trend and proportion of various expenses relative to revenue. - Highlights areas where expenses may be increasing disproportionately. 4. Ratio Analysis: - Compares two financial figures, such as current assets and current liabilities, as ratios. - Common ratios include current ratio and debt-to-equity ratio. - Provides insights into liquidity, solvency, and overall financial stability. Bill emphasizes the importance of setting commentary thresholds to focus on significant variances in the analyses. He also shares his preferred analyses, with accounting and actual vs. budget analyses being the most commonly used. This video is a valuable resource for finance professionals, particularly corporate controllers, seeking to gain a deeper understanding of financial statement analysis techniques.

Thanks for the great video, I don't get it Where are those numbers related to headcount coming from? Is that the result of total income - total expense? any thoughts? Thanks

In the detailed Ratio Analysis dashboard at 20:37 isn't it better to call them "Threshold Churn %" and "Threshold CAC %" . The green highlight certainly points to positive outcomes, but calling them "Targets" seems a little confusing at first...very informative video. thank you!

Kudos and thank you for all these videos! I would love to see you do this kind of analysis on financial and/or insurance companies as well.

Always find your videos of good value for my time, good ROI.

Hi Bill, I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been considering a change in career from my current paralegal work to becoming a CPA - which has always been a dream of mine - and your channel has the most valuable content on this topic. I have a business management degree with a low GPA (3.1). I plan to get a certificate in accounting (and maybe a Master of Professional Accounting, per your advice in another video, if I get accepted into the program) and study for the CPA exam. In the meantime, do you recommend that I find an entry-level accounting job that does not require relevant experience or education? Or should I wait until I get my CPA license before looking for a job in accounting?

Thank you 🙏🏽

Hi Bill. Thank you for the video. Speaking of accounting errors, how do you make sure you recorded every vendor invoice? I receive invoices on my email and I've missed entering few of them in the system a couple times. Then I get notified by my manager that I missed them. Do you have a procedure on that?

This is helpful

Boss your the best

Have a question! dont we have to devide the variance on the budget? not on actual. 12% variance is coming from the variance over the actual. we are figuting aout against budget. no? also, How Variance is negative if you where under the budget. your actual is lower than a budget.

Sir, thank you so much for your informative video.
