Featured Review
"I currently work in accounting as an accounts receivable manager in the healthcare industry. I first found the AccountingCoach website and became a PRO user because I needed to brush up on my accounting skills, as I had been out of the field for 20 years while raising children. I knew I needed a source that would help me achieve that. I like the simple format and the ability to navigate the website easily. I also like how well organized the material is, as well as being able to access the material on my own schedule and find the topics that I'm specifically interested in. The material has really helped me get my skill set and knowledge current again. And to remind me that I hadn't forgotten as much as I thought I had!" - Kathi H.
