Featured Review
"AccountingCoach has helped get me hired. I signed up with AccountingCoach to refamiliarize myself with basic accounting/bookkeeping jargon and concepts to land a great position in a financial firm after being away from an accounting role for 35 years. The bookkeeping videos got me back up to speed in one day and helped me not only pass a skills test, but also labeled my efforts as proficient. Now, after being in my new role for 2 months, it's time for me to continue the courses to improve my overall knowledge and stabilize the value of my participation on the team. The videos hold my ADHD attention and the quizzes reinforce the material well. Thank you, AccountingCoach, for getting me where I needed to be." - Nanette E.
