"I can't believe how much more confidence AccountingCoach PRO has given me, and I never want to be without it! I received my degree in accounting, but still found that I had questions, and did not feel confident in my abilities to perform in my new position as an accountant in a small contract manufacturing company. Because of this, I purchased the PRO version so that I could study sections I was not clear about and then test my knowledge. Being able to keep track of what you have studied is great, but what I love most is that I am able to figure out what I need more help in with the tests, and then use the flashcards to help me understand those areas better—so much so that I have challenged decisions from our controller, and was able to intelligently discuss my reasoning and be granted permission for change. Any person wanting to become a bookkeeper or accountant would benefit from using AccountingCoach, but having the PRO version takes it to the next level! Oh, by the way—I started as the staff accountant, and have since been promoted to Assistant Controller and will be promoted again to Controller when our current controller retires in less than a year. Thank you!" - Anna W.
