Featured Review
"I am currently employed as a senior accountant. I became a PRO user back when I was seeking a new job, many years ago. Since I only obtained an associate degree in accounting, I wanted to use all the tools on your site to give me the edge to be able to learn more than ever before. Now my skill set is more advanced, and I was able to apply for my current role. I learned so much more than I have in 2 years of college. The readings and tutorial are easy to follow, and explain the ins and outs of everything. I previously had financial statements in my background, yet now I truly have a better understanding of how each account affects the TB. I continue to go back any time you offer new topics; it's my personal refresher. Just think how great it is to be able to go back and continue to learn, for a much cheaper price than a college course, for sure. I am so glad I purchased my subscription! Thank you, AccountingCoach!" - Victoria
