Featured Review
"As Senior Finance Manager and Intermediate Financial Modeler, I needed a refresher course in accounting that would make learning fun, but that would also be in depth. After looking at various online classes, I discovered AccountingCoach and found that the mix of detailed learning material, along with the structure of the materials, fit my needs. The puzzles, videos, and accounting techniques supported my learning style and my schedule. Additionally, the ease of mobile studying allowed me to be able to learn on the go. It is a great tool for anyone who needs to learn accounting from the beginner level, or a professional like myself, who needs to keep abreast of new accounting concepts. I continually return to the course to learn something new." - Kelvin M.
