Son is doing study.com courses. Question about order of courses: Is it easier/better to do Principles of Finance (Finance 101) or Financial Accounting (Accounting 101) first? I'm not sure which courses builds on each other.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these exams on Study.com and can share your experience?

My experience is with the actual subjects. They are really completely different subjects. Yes, they're both about money in business, but quite different. Accounting is more tedious. There are people who delight in the details and others who find it mind numbing. Finance is more conceptual. Some people have difficulty understanding the concepts and formulas.

Personally I'd do Financial Accounting prior to Principles of Finance. Like Clep3705 has said they are pretty separate for the most part. I just did Study.coms Principles of Finance and there is about 3 or 4 chapters on Accounting Concepts. So it can really go either way.

If you were taking these at a 4-yr college, Finance is normally considered UL, and they might have Accounting I & II as prerequisites for it. Accounting I is normally very entry-level. Not easy, but not as difficult as Finance.
