"I stumbled across the website for AccountingCoach, and I am glad I did. I have always enjoyed bookkeeping, but I have never been formally trained. After receiving and reviewing the material with AccountCoach PRO I can honestly say this is the best product I have every purchased. The lifetime membership is worth the cost. The courses are set up for the beginner to the most advanced and is written in a very clear format. I would recommend AccountingCoach to anyone wanting to learn, or take a refresher course on accounting and bookkeeping." - Jewell B.
