- Intermediate Accounting by Kieso. Or you can watch Farhat on YT if you learn better by hearing.

If you are in Canada, Intermediate accounting by Beechy beats Kieso every day of the week. Kieso’s book is a convoluted mess compared to Beechy’s where everything is laid out perfectly, you go concept by concept and there is an example after almost everything.
- Schaum’s workbooks are invaluable! I used to tear out chapters at a time, take then to work, and read, highlight, and solve problems throughout my shift. These books have solutions, so many example problems, and practice examinations!
