"I'm a financial controller (formerly). During Covid, we were laid off! I have an associate, bachelor, and MBA in accounting, as well as 35 plus years of experience! Now, for the past few years, I have owned my own accounting firm. I became a PRO user because I needed access to a valid source of readily-available, easy-to-find information. I have researched and found the PRO membership to have the information I need. I like that the materials are easy to find and to understand. I've purchased AccountingCoach PRO for two of my employees as well to earn their certifications. This is also my go-to when I need to have a legitimate source for my clients. Almost all of my clients are from different industries and have different reporting requirements. Cash or accrual, percentage of completion, etc. Simple things, like where other income and expenses go, and how it affects gross margins if categorized incorrectly. I have been able to keep up with almost all of the accounting methods. This material has been far better than any I have found so far! Right at my fingertips, it's not easy finding a valid source of information on the internet! I keep myself sharp and knowledgeable with this material in order to help my clients by providing accurate financial data they can rely on to maintain, grow and make informed decisions. I'm now a construction industry accountant/fractional CFO, and construction is booming. More and more construction businesses are on the rise, and very few accountants have access to this kind of accounting knowledge!" - Terry K.
