"AccountingCoach has been a God-send to me for years! When I got thrown into a bookkeeping position many years ago I floundered terribly until I stumbled upon AccountingCoach.com. I can't say enough about how thorough and detailed the website is with lessons, quizzes, tests, tons of downloads, guides, and handy cheat sheets. After only a few weeks on the website I had gained the skills and confidence I needed to become competent at and comfortable with my job. When I realized I loved bookkeeping I decided to enhance my knowledge even further with a college accounting course, and I must say in all honesty, it paled in comparison to what I was learning on AccountingCoach.com. Although I've been bookkeeping many years now, there is always something for me to learn on AccountingCoach.com and I devote several hours every week to getting on the site to refresh my skills or to learn something new. This is a rare company in that it is devoted not only to teaching accounting and bookkeeping in easy-to-understand terms, but also to exceptional customer service! Thank you Accounting Coach for your genuine approach to all you do!" - Terri L.
