Accounting students struggle because textbook exercises prescribe the transaction type, so they never learn to diagnose unlabeled financial events in real-world scenarios.

Workarounds Described

• built own interactive prototype where users run books of a small company and figure out situations

Implied Software Gaps

• Educational platform that simulates real-world accounting scenarios without pre-labeled transactions

LedgerLens

LedgerLens is an interactive accounting simulation platform that presents students with unstructured business scenarios. Instead of telling students what happened, it challenges them to investigate financial data, infer the correct transactions, and apply accounting principles. The app provides adaptive feedback that guides learners back on track without revealing answers, mimicking real-world problem-solving.
