“[This] approach has the advantage of showing how accounting works visually. We all tend to see problems and relationships more easily visually, so the approach takes advantage of how we learn most effectively.”

Paul Healy, James R. Williston Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School

What other educators are saying...

"Once I incorporated Color Accounting, [students'] faces light up. They love doing problem sets. They love getting into the nitty gritty. They have higher level, deeper understanding questions that they ask every single day. Like they're taking it to the next level. It's not even me pushing them as much as them wanting to know, which is refreshing."

Jessica - CPA, High School Teacher, New York

"I jumped on board and I'm glad I did... I have noticed [students] asking more questions. A higher level of questions. You know, more critical. Like their critical thinking has risen... I see more interest in the accounting from the students."

Marie - High School Teacher, Virginia

"Joining the Color Accounting community has given me a group of like-minded people to share the challenges and wins of teaching. Getting certified was one of the best moves I made..."

Alice - School Teacher, South Africa
