I'm Ben — a CPA for 10 of my 16 years in the accounting field, and the founder of AccountAble Academy where I teach an accounting course for non-accountants.
Here's something most people don't know: I got a C in my first intro to accounting course. I almost wrote the whole subject off. A friend convinced me to give it one more shot with a different professor — and something clicked. I aced the class, and I never looked back.
That experience stuck with me. Because the truth is, I wasn't bad at accounting. I just hadn't had it explained in a way that made sense to me yet. And once it did, everything changed.
A few years ago, my sister-in-law called me, confused about some reports from her business. It was a classic case: her numbers said she was making money, but she wasn't seeing it in the bank account. She just wanted to understand why. That conversation stuck with me — and when I recently thought back on it, it's what pushed me to actually build this business, so I could help people like her, not just one phone call at a time.
