"I am a 52 year old former stay-at-home mom who finally decided to take a stab at earning an AAS in Accounting. Starting Accounting 1 was initially an intimidating experience. The text was confusing, and I felt like I was learning a whole new language. A fellow classmate suggested AccountingCoach, and I'm so glad she did! I find the information here understandable and relatable. I currently have a 98% in the class! I earned my 4-year degree almost 30 years ago, and I wish there had been programs like this around for every major. I am looking forward to using AccountingCoach for the next 2 years and possibly beyond. Thank you." - Pam H.
