Intermediate Accounting II

[tesu-acct-student]

Keep in mind that what I say below is not only for you, but for anybody reading over our shoulders who may have the same situation as you have. So chew the fish and spit out the bones.

SL has Accounting I and Accounting II courses - Those transfer to TESU at The Financial and Managerial Accounting.

I spent a few minutes this morning reading all those course descriptions at SL. I compared them with two CCs near me, one of which offers a very robust Associate's degree in accounting (offering Financial, Managerial, Intermediate I and II, plus other courses. It is where I took Intermediate II). I think that what SL calls Financial Accounting is Financial Accounting, not Intermediate I. What SL calls Accounting I actually sounds like Bookkeeping to me. I'm not sure what to make of SL's Accounting II, but it doesn't sound like Managerial to me. Managerial Accounting is an introduction to cost accounting, accounting information that is used internally by managers.

I am doing my Financial and Managerial Accounting at my local CC.

Good, I'm glad to hear that. Have you started them yet?

I'm doing SL's Financial and Managerial Accounting also which transfer in as Intermediate Accounting I and Cost Accounting.

I am concerned that this won't serve you well over the long term. As I have said, SL's Financial Accounting sounds like Financial Accounting, not Intermediate I.

I'm doing Study.com's Applied Managerial Accounting and Advanced Accounting I.

I'd hold off on these until after the first four courses are done. They really do all build on each other. But it's your call.

Also doing TESU's Federal Income Tax TECEP.

Great. This can be done anytime since it has zero accounting. It is purely individual income tax. Tax return preparation and accounting are two different animals.

That leaves the Intermediate Accounting II requirement. I am trying to find the best option for ME to take this course. This is how my AOS looks:

Intermediate Accounting I SLER ACC-201 LL
Intermediate Accounting II PENN ACC-202 LL
Applied Managerial Accounting STUDY ACC-301 UL
Cost Accounting SLER ACC-303 UL
Advanced Accounting I STUDY ACC-401 UL
Federal Income Tax (TECEP) TECEP ACC-421-TE UL

You know, you sound very intelligent and I'm sure you will work it all out and be a fine accountant. I don't mean to be throwing a monkey wrench into your plans. One way or another, get the knowledge in the courses that I've outlined, and you'll do just fine.
