Featured Review
"Recently, I decided that I needed to do more to ensure that I was growing professionally and staying competitive in my current field of accounting. I felt stagnated, stuck, and that I wasn't learning anything new. Rather than complain, I decided that I needed to take action to change my circumstances. I started doing research and came across AccountingCoach. Given that it was reasonably affordable, I decided to give it a try. Since then, I have been reading, doing the exercises, and have noticed a significant shift and improvement to my current skills. I love the quick tests, flashcards, and other tools provided and could not be happier that I took a leap of faith and joined. Thank you AccountingCoach, for providing me with the extra support I need to excel and move forward in my career." - Yvette V.
