“Hello Everyone!
Una sa lahat thank you sa admins ng redefine and kay sir Rain for allowing me na mag-enroll sa redefine kahit 1 month na since naghahabol ako, and sobrang laking help sakin ng sorianotes sa business combination and consoFS sa pagrerecall hanggang sa actual board exam. True to its word zero-based talaga yung discussion. Hihimay-himayin talaga ni sir Rain and ineexplain talaga ng husto ni Sir Rain yung concepts. Well-made din yung mga handouts since basics muna then pa-comprehensive yung mga problems. I’ll share din pala na naririnig ko yung “Apparently” ni Sir Rain during the board exam.
Sa lahat ng future takers na makakakita ng testimonial na ito, If you have weak foundation nung undergrad sa FAR and especially AFAR I highly recommend Redefine to build your foundation. Yes medyo lengthy yung vids at first pero sa dami mong learnings na matutunan mo hindi mo mamalayan tapos mo na yung videos. And super quality din nung vid since hi-res yung camera na ginamit and sobrang ganda din ng whiteboard. Para ka din nag Face to Face classes ulit kasi parang nasa harapan mo si sir Rain.
Reminder sa future takers to do your best and God will do the rest.”

“I enrolled in Redefine Accounting Review because I wanted to strengthen my foundation in Intermediate Accounting, which is known to be one of the most complex parts of my journey. I can confidently say that Redefine lived up to its name.
Sir Rain has a unique way of teaching—he doesn’t just present the technicalities, he makes each topic simple, even for someone like me who once felt like a layman in accounting. He brings out the essence and heart of each lesson, turning intimidating concepts into something I could genuinely grasp and connect with in class.
What truly stood out to me was his heart as a mentor. I often had countless questions, and every time I felt the need to apologize, Sir Rain reminded me never to. For him, questions prove that we are learning—and each is his opportunity to guide us. Because of that mindset, I gained the confidence to ask questions freely, knowing each was an opportunity to learn.
Because of Redefine, I learned to love accounting again. I once wished for mentors who truly loved this field, and I found that in Sir Rain. Overall, I highly recommend Redefine Accounting to students who want not only to prepare for exams, but to rediscover accounting in a more meaningful and inspiring way.”

“Redefine Accounting Review truly simplified Accounting. As someone with a weak foundation, especially in FAR, Sir Rain was an absolute blessing. I love how he thoroughly discusses each concept and shares his Golden SoriaNotes. These SoriaNotes were instrumental in helping me pass the board exam and become a CPA today. Thank you, Sir Rain!”

Studying with Redefine Accounting was a great experience, it enabled me to strengthen my concept recall in FAR thru the SORIANOTES, also it helped me thoroughly understand the topics I find difficult in FAR.
Pero yung SORIANOTES talaga yung sobrang tumatak saken, specially if want nyo ng quick recall lang right before the actual board examination

“Aside from reading accounting books, one of the key reasons I was able to pass my ACYFAR and ACYAVA subjects was because of Sir Rain’s lecture videos and his comprehensive teaching style. He has a remarkable ability to explain complex accounting concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand manner, which greatly helped me grasp the lessons more effectively. What I particularly appreciated was how he presented various discussion problems that covered a range of scenarios, allowing me to apply the concepts in different contexts.
Moreover, Sir Rain often shared tips, tricks, and shortcuts before exams, which helped ease the preparation process. I also found it helpful that he provided additional handouts and supplementary lecture videos to reinforce our understanding of the topics. His dedication to making learning accessible and manageable truly made a significant impact on my academic journey.”

“Thank you Sir Rain sa pag strengthen ng knowledge ko sa FAR. Ever since college, kayo and mga videos ninyo po sa YT ang naghelp saken. Complete po notes ko sa playlist po ninyo ng FAR. And during review po kinapitan ko po ulit kayo. Thank you po sobra! CPA NAA POOO AKOOO!!!”

“Sir Rainiel Soriano is one of the most straightforward, effective, and impactful professors I have ever encountered. His teaching style is clear, concise, and highly efficient—qualities that have made a tremendous difference in my academic journey. Thanks to his guidance, I didn’t just pass my exams—I consistently earned high grades that contributed significantly to my eligibility for Latin honors.
Before taking his class, I struggled with accounting and even failed a subject. There were moments I seriously considered shifting to another program. However, everything changed when I enrolled in his course. Since then, I haven’t failed a single accounting class.
His SoriaNotes and practical teaching approach have made complex topics much easier to understand. His formulas are easy to remember, logically structured, and directly applicable to exam scenarios. Sir Soriano’s passion for teaching and commitment to student success have played a key role in helping me regain confidence in my abilities.
For that, I am sincerely grateful.”

“SoriaNotes has truly been one of my greatest assets undergrad all the way through the actual board exam. Sir Rain has a remarkable way of breaking down difficult topics into simplified formulas that are much easier to grasp — a real advantage during review. I honestly wouldn’t have enjoyed or fully understood HOBA and Business Combinations if it weren’t for him. Reading the book alone just wasn’t enough (in my case). The Accounting Lecture Series was also a lifesaver, especially for challenging FAR topics like Shareholders’ Equity, Post-Employment Benefits, and Share-Based Compensation, among others.
As a magna cum laude and CPALE passer, I can confidently say you’re in good hands under Sir Rain’s teaching. One of the best profs I’ve ever had. I 100% recommend Redefine Accounting Review!”

“I was a student of Sir Rain in so many classes in DLSU! As someone who found accounting standards so overwhelming, Sir Rain’s Sorianotes really helped condense all the rules and formulas I had to know. Sir usually starts with a clear explanation of the concept, and then proceeds with problems to apply that knowledge. Sir Rain also makes it a point to emphasize the information you really need to know, like what questions will come up or what things will usually be asked in problem solving – so not only do you know the concepts and the procedure, you also get oriented towards what’s essential. He also knows how to keep the class engaged so hindi boring!
What really stands out with Sir Rain for me is that he really loves Accounting. He always has a positive outlook and will encourage you to see these difficult subjects as something na madali lang. It’s a great influence to be around, nakakainspire!
He’s also very approachable and cares a lot about his students – whether undergrad class or review class. There was a point in my BSA journey where I decided I was going to shift out and he made it a point to meet up with me personally to encourage me not to. He told me to keep going and his belief in me literally changed my life. From almost shiftee to Cum Laude BSA Graduate to now, a Lasallian CPA – I owe a lot of it to him! I highly recommend sir!”
