Meet Kenneth Boyd
40+ Years of Financial Clarity. Zero Wall Street Spin.
I’m Kenneth Boyd, and for over four decades I’ve helped Americans make smarter decisions with their money. I started out as an investment broker, became a CPA, and eventually turned to what I love most: teaching finance in a way that actually makes sense.
I’ve worked with retirees planning their future, business owners decoding balance sheets, and investors navigating both bull and bear markets. My mission has always been the same: cut through the noise, explain the numbers, and help people protect what they’ve earned.
Today, I bring that mission to a wider audience. I’ve written hundreds of articles for platforms like Investopedia, QuickBooks, Ramp, Stampli, and Rho.co. I’ve built video courses for LinkedIn Learning, creativeLIVE, and O’Reilly Media. And I run a YouTube channel with over 680 videos breaking down accounting and investing in plain English.
I’m also the author of several finance books, including:
Cost Accounting for Dummies
The CPA Exam for Dummies
34 Stories That Explain Personal Finance
1,001 Accounting Practice Problems for Dummies
Education
B.S.B.A., University of Kansas — where I first learned that clarity in finance isn’t optional, it’s essential.
But The Patriot Investor is where I speak directly to you. No jargon. No hype. Just clear, conservative market insights for Americans who want to grow their wealth without losing their values.

What you’ll get here:
Weekly market breakdowns that respect your time

Occasional bold ideas — with the risks explained, not hidden
A voice that treats your money like it matters — because it does
What I believe:
Financial independence is patriotic
Markets reward discipline, not emotion
Wall Street hype is expensive — clarity isn’t
Every investor deserves plain-English insight
Thanks for being here. Let’s build something steady. That’s what patriots do.— Kenneth Boyd
