MGMT 30A at University of California--Irvine

Online, On-demand MGMT 30A Exam Review

Looking for an exam review for MGMT 30A? You're in luck, I made videos covering that whole class! And you just found them.

My name is Aaron and I made this site, recorded 101 videos, and wrote 79 practice problems for MGMT 30A. You can watch them any time, anywhere. Including right now... without having to leave your house.

I've helped hundreds of students learn financial accounting.

The reason that people love my videos so much is because I explain accounting in a way that actually makes sense. I hear that over and over from my students. Let me help you understand accounting.

Don't take my word for it What Some of My Former Students Have Said

Completely changed the way I understood Accounting. These videos got me through the class! Nathan, Spring 2016
These videos alone helped me get a B in accounting this semester. I didn't go to class at all. Thanks so much! Natalia, Spring 2016

(Please go to class.)

Thanks for making this site, it came in clutch for every exam. Lane, Spring 2016

Need something specific? You can just shoot me an email at [email protected]. It's totally common for me to walk people through concepts over the phone, too. Since this is the internet, I'm not going to put my cell phone on this page, but shoot me an email and we can chat.

It's possible I have office hours coming up too, so check out that page here: mgmt30a.com/office-hours.
