"My background includes a hotel management degree, and I also have an accounting diploma. I became a PRO user as my mother tongue is Greek, but I needed to learn accounting terminology in English in order to work in the UK. AccountingCoach’s materials are very good, as they explain in plain language what every term means so as to be easily understood by anyone, whether or not they are in accounting. These materials have helped me to learn and understand the matching terms in English so I could get an AAT Level 3 Diploma. Thank you very much for all this useful information, which is updated frequently." - Angeliki A.
