FINC 341 Business Finance is the Texas A&M course on how corporations plan, raise long-term funds, and manage working capital. Plenty of students in the business school take it as a requirement rather than a choice, which makes the first exam feel like a surprise.

Three credits, three lecture hours. The catalog describes financial practices and financial management of modern business corporations, including cash flow, planning, procurement of funds, and management of long-term funds and working capital.
ACCT 229, and enrollment in the upper division of Mays Business School, Agribusiness, or Maritime Business Administration. It is also taught at the Galveston campus.
The catalog says only one of FINC 341 or FINC 342 counts toward a degree. FINC 342 is the introductory finance course for the Petroleum Ventures Program, so which one you take depends on your program.
Bonds and the cost of funds show up in the same problem set, so the bond-pricing and WACC pieces below are worth a read together. Your first session goes further if you have already tried one.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
ACCT 229 teaches you to read profit. FINC 341 asks what cash actually moved. Turning an income statement into a cash flow is the first skill the course tests, and we repeat it until it's automatic.
Choosing between debt and equity, and pricing each, ties together bonds, stocks, and the cost of funds. We map how one decision feeds the next so the pieces stop looking separate.
Holding more cash is safe and costs you returns; stretching payables helps and hurts suppliers. The exam wants you to weigh both sides in plain words, so we practice the explaining as much as the arithmetic.
FINC 341 is aimed at upper-division students in Mays, Agribusiness, and Maritime Business Administration, which is why so many non-finance majors meet it. Confirm in your degree plan whether FINC 341 or FINC 342 is the one you need.
Send me what you're stuck on: a problem set, slides, your last midterm, a practice exam, last week's quiz.
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.
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.
I’m Chi Odogwu. I have a B.S. in Business with a finance specialization from Liberty University, earned summa cum laude in three years, and a Master’s in International Economics and Finance from Brandeis. I tutored IB students in grad school, did valuation and private equity consulting at PwC, taught MBA finance at Florida State, and spent three years as an adjunct professor teaching Business Finance.
They are two separate courses, and the catalog lets only one count toward your degree. FINC 342 serves the Petroleum Ventures Program. Ask your advisor which applies to you.
The catalog says FINC 341 is also taught at Galveston. Sessions with me are on Zoom, so campus doesn't matter.
Ideally before the first exam. The opening weeks set up the vocabulary that every later unit leans on, and a gap there tends to follow you to the final.
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.
Tell me your course and what isn’t clicking. I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help.
