"I am a degreed accounting and finance professional with a diverse business background (bookkeeper, staff accountant, auction coordinator, etc.). Over the years I have held many different roles that sometimes require transaction-heavy duties. Other times, the billing, invoicing, and journal transactions are automated. In order to keep my accounting skills sharp and to retain my theoretical understanding, I had chosen AccountingCoach PRO many years ago. The content has always been concisely written and well structured, with possible areas of confusion preemptively addressed. It's a great platform to have access to for graduates, students, and accounting professionals alike. AccountingCoach has benefited me greatly, as its materials have always kept me prepared for my next challenge. " - Jason K.
