"As a trainer/lecturer of English for Specific Purposes with a focus on Financial and Business English, AccountingCoach.com is THE website I recommend to my students. They are speakers of other languages and AccountingCouch.com makes the world of finance and Accounting in English accessible to them. They need nothing more to convince themselves of accounting and finance terminology. This is their go-to resource. Apart from improving their English levels, professionally they gain insight as well. They are getting core information, updates, and learn about trends. To this effect many students have commented. Your website is also a tremendous support to me when it comes to doing quizzes, finding material to improve reading skills and when setting exam papers. And all of that for free!
