"Back in November of 2010, while attending an online university I was totally freaking out because I am at a loss when it comes to accounting. I had to take Financial Accounting Concepts and Principles. Had I not purchased your accounting package, I would have had to pay for another class. So, I want to thank you AccountingCoach because I got a B+ for my XACC/280 class and went on to receive my Associates back in 2011. I could not have achieved this had it not been for AccountingCoach, for that I truly thank you." - Jane B.
