"I am Vice President/CFO of a small wholesaling business. I was thrust into this position unexpectedly due to the untimely death of my predecessor, and had almost no prior instruction other than a few accounting courses in college. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I don't have to email my accountant for every little thing. I can find most things easily on AccountingCoach. The materials are well organized and easy to understand. AccountingCoach has helped me to understand why things entered the way they are." - Tony M.
