"Becoming a member of AccountingCoach was hands down a great decision for me. I have been in bookkeeping for over 16 years and all the training I had was from the CPA that I worked for. While I felt I had a good foundation and years of experience, once I took the leap and branched out with my own bookkeeping practice I felt the need to brush up on my skills. AccountingCoach actually not only helped me brush up on my knowledge, but has helped me pinpoint my strengths and weaknesses which allowed me to focus on those areas that I was lacking knowledge. It was also a great boost to see how much knowledge I already had. I think it was a great investment and I love knowing that when I second-guess myself I can easily log in and review the information needed. Worth every penny!" - Judith G.
