Where students get stuck.
A required course for everyone
Because the core covers every BSBA candidate, many students in ACFM 124 are not headed for finance. We explain the ideas plainly and keep the math tied to what the course tests.
Accounting underneath
Corporate finance leans on what you learned in ACFM 104. If the statements are fuzzy, the cash flow problems get harder, so we patch that first.
Getting ready for ACFM 272
The advanced course needs ACFM 124 and statistics. A solid foundation now makes the next course easier.
How a session works
Diagnosis first. Then the fix.
- 01
Before we meet
Send me what you're stuck on: a problem set, slides, your last midterm, a practice exam, last week's quiz.
- 02
On Zoom
You walk me through a problem out loud. It usually takes a few minutes to hear where the reasoning goes sideways. We fix that piece and rebuild from there, so you know why each step works.
- 03
Before we finish
The real test: a fresh problem with new numbers and different wording, the way a midterm would ask it, and you solve it yourself. I don't complete assignments or hand over answers. You leave able to do the work.

Questions
Before you book.
Is ACFM 124 required?
The Freeman core page I read says all BSBA candidates complete the core regardless of major, and it lists ACFM 104 and 124. Check your own degree audit.
I took ACFM 203. Is that the same course?
Older catalogs used ACFM 203, and ACFM 124 is not open to students who took it. Check with your advisor which one applies to you.
Which calculator can I use?
I could not find a published policy, so check your syllabus. We practice on the one your exams allow.
Is tutoring allowed under my school's honor code?
Tutoring on concepts and practice problems is generally fine, but policies on graded work vary by course. I don't complete graded assignments. Check your syllabus's collaboration policy, and if you're unsure, ask your professor.
