Featured Review
"After being an accounts receivable supervisor for 9 years at a large building supply company, I was offered a role in the accounting department. However, this was not what I had studied in college. I work for two individuals who both have master’s degrees in the subject, so I quickly found myself at a loss trying to follow their conversations. I did some research and found your program online, along with some of your free tips and glossaries. I found the materials immensely helpful, so I decided to sign up. Your program has helped me in SO many situations, such as when I was stuck on how something rolled to the balance sheet, how stocks and investments were handled in the general ledger, etc. The information is so clear and easy to understand. You saved me—I could not be more grateful! One of the features that appeals to me most, is the ability to go on and look for the specific topic that I am needing help on. AccountingCoach always helps me to understand the full picture of the process, and I feel much more confident in accomplishing the tasks handed to me by my superiors. I have been in my current role for over 6 years now, and with the company for over 18 years... I cannot recommend this program enough! Thank you for offering such a great program!" - Melissa F.
