Featured Review
"Having been a senior advisor for a business development center for some 15+ years, as well as holding a BSBA [Hotel & Restaurant Mgt] and MFA in Economics, I find the resources provided are relevant, timely and accurate as support for my advising of small-business clients. I started as a 'basic' user and found the resources provided with PRO are what I needed to better serve clients in the area of financial literacy and strategy. The site is easy to navigate, and goes deep into collateral resources I didn't realize I wanted/needed. Our business development center is the go-to resource for small-business advising, based largely on the 'relevancy, timeliness and accuracy' of the resources, and the 'can-do attitude of the AccountingCoach team'." - Stephen D.
