Featured Review
"I graduated with an accounting degree 10+ years ago. I was up for a job promotion that was going to dive into cost accounting which is something that I haven't really dealt with in my professional career. AccountingCoach was an outstanding refresher course on the core concepts of cost accounting. I studied the materials, retaught myself concepts I haven't thought about for over 10 years, and got the promotion. Using AccountingCoach was the best decision I could have made! Would recommend to anyone!" - Adam C.
