"I love this website!! It helped me many years ago to earn my B.S. in accounting and I am once again using this website. I am in the process of earning my MaCC degree and I refer to this website for both my college classes and at work. I am also in the process of studying for my CPA exam and have decided to start from the ground up with the use of your website. I even have my boss using it!!! Everything on your site is in plain English and so easy to follow, and I love all the activities to help reinforce the topics!! Thanks so much!!!!!" - Jamie
