About Connect Accounting

McGraw-Hill dominates the college accounting textbook market. If you’re a business major taking Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, or Intermediate Accounting, there’s a good chance you’re using a McGraw-Hill textbook delivered through Connect. These courses are known as “GPA killers” — rigorous, cumulative, and unforgiving when you fall behind.

The most common textbooks you’ll encounter include Spiceland, Thomas, and Herrmann’s Financial Accounting for intro courses, Garrison, Noreen, and Brewer’s Managerial Accounting (the #1 best-seller in its field), and Spiceland, Nelson, Thomas, and Winchel’s Intermediate Accounting — widely considered the most difficult accounting course in the business school curriculum.

Connect adds several layers on top of the textbook content. SmartBook 2.0 is an adaptive reading tool that forces you to demonstrate mastery before moving on, often trapping students in “Recharge” loops when they miss questions. Integrated Excel assignments require you to work in live spreadsheets within Connect, where the auto-grader checks not just your answers but your formulas, cell references, and formatting. Regular homework, quizzes, and exams round out the workload.

The platform is designed for precision. In accounting, one error in a journal entry cascades through the trial balance, adjusting entries, and financial statements. Connect’s auto-grader has no tolerance for this — a misplaced decimal, a missing dollar sign, or parentheses instead of a negative sign can cost you full credit on an otherwise correct answer.

Using Pearson Instead?

If your accounting course uses Pearson’s MyLab Accounting (with textbooks like Horngren or Harrison), check out our MyLab Accounting Help page. Same expert assistance, different platform.

Why Students Struggle

Connect Accounting combines the inherent difficulty of accounting with a platform that punishes small mistakes. Here’s what makes it so challenging:

The Problem How We Fix It
“One mistake ruins the entire problem.”

In accounting, errors cascade. A wrong debit in a journal entry throws off the trial balance, which throws off the adjusting entries, which throws off the financial statements. Connect grades each step — so one early mistake can cost you points across multiple questions.

Our accounting specialists work methodically, double-checking each entry before moving to the next step. We catch errors before they cascade.

Precision from start to finish.

“SmartBook takes hours and I’m still stuck.”

SmartBook 2.0’s adaptive system identifies what you don’t know and forces you to answer questions until you reach 100% mastery. Miss a few questions and you’re thrown into a “Recharge” loop that can add hours to what should be a 30-minute reading assignment.

We move through SmartBook efficiently, answering mastery questions correctly the first time and avoiding the Recharge traps that waste your time.

SmartBook completed fast.

“The Excel grader is impossible.”

Integrated Excel assignments require specific formulas, exact cell references, and precise formatting. The auto-grader checks everything — not just whether your answer is right, but whether you arrived at it the way the system expects. A SUM formula that produces the correct number can still be marked wrong if you referenced the wrong cells.

Our experts are Excel specialists who understand Connect’s grading logic. We build spreadsheets that meet both the mathematical and technical requirements.

Excel formatted perfectly.

“I understand the concept but get marked wrong.”

Connect is strict about formatting. Dollar signs, decimal places, commas, parentheses for negative numbers, specific account names — the system rejects answers that are mathematically correct but formatted wrong. Financial statement problems are especially unforgiving.

We know exactly how Connect wants answers formatted for each problem type. Journal entries, T-accounts, financial statements — all submitted in the format the auto-grader expects.

Formatting mastered.

“Intermediate Accounting is destroying my GPA.”

Spiceland’s Intermediate Accounting I and II are the hardest courses in the accounting major. Revenue recognition, leases, pensions, deferred taxes — the concepts are complex and Connect tests them rigorously. Many students who breezed through Financial Accounting hit a wall here.

Our specialists have completed hundreds of Intermediate Accounting courses. We handle the most difficult modules — including the ones that make students switch majors.

Intermediate conquered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SmartBook 2.0 on Connect?
SmartBook 2.0 is an adaptive reading tool built into Connect. It identifies gaps in your knowledge and forces you to answer questions until you reach 100% mastery. If you miss questions, it triggers “Recharge” sessions that can turn a 30-minute assignment into a multi-hour ordeal. Our specialists complete SmartBook modules efficiently by answering mastery questions correctly the first time.
Can you help with Integrated Excel assignments?
Yes. Integrated Excel is one of the most frustrating parts of Connect Accounting. You work in a live spreadsheet within Connect, and the auto-grader checks your formulas, cell references, and formatting — not just your final answers. Our experts are Excel specialists who know exactly how to build spreadsheets that satisfy Connect’s rigid grading criteria.
Which textbooks do you cover?
All major McGraw-Hill accounting textbooks: Spiceland/Thomas/Herrmann for Financial Accounting, Garrison/Noreen/Brewer for Managerial Accounting, Spiceland/Nelson/Thomas/Winchel for Intermediate Accounting, plus Libby, Wild, and others. Tell us your textbook when you request a quote and we’ll match you with an expert who knows it.
Can you take Connect Accounting exams?
Yes. We handle timed Connect exams, including proctored assessments that use Proctorio or Respondus LockDown Browser. Contact us with details about your exam setup — time limit, proctoring method, topics covered — and we’ll let you know how we can help.
How do you handle the strict formatting in Connect?
Connect’s auto-grader is notoriously picky about formatting — dollar signs, decimal places, parentheses for negatives, specific account names. Our experts know these requirements because they’ve completed thousands of Connect assignments. We format every answer exactly how the system expects it.
Is Intermediate Accounting really that hard?
Yes. Intermediate Accounting I and II (usually using Spiceland’s textbook) are the most difficult courses in the accounting major. Topics like revenue recognition, leases, pensions, and deferred taxes trip up even strong students. Many students who did well in Financial and Managerial Accounting struggle here. We’ve helped hundreds of students get through Intermediate with their GPAs intact.
Do you guarantee the grade?
Yes. Our A/B Guarantee means you get an A or B on qualified work, or you get your money back. We target 90%+ on every assignment.
Is this confidential?
100%. We never share your information. All credentials are encrypted and deleted after work is completed. Our work is completed by humans and is indistinguishable from a strong student’s performance.
