"I am a recent fashion merchandising graduate. I became a PRO user because I had to take an accounting course in the fashion merchandising program, which I found difficult. I purchased the accounting PRO course because it explained the accounting process in an easy format, and the materials were outstanding! After using the materials for my degree course, I was able to understand the accounting process. I must understand accounting because of my major and fashion career. I plan on starting my own fashion business, and I now have a wonderful accounting website to look back on as a reference if I ever need to. Thank you for creating an amazing website!" - Maribel R.
