"I found AccountingCoach when I was just starting out as an entry-level accounting assistant. I had been through several college courses but still felt very lost in my first role. I found AccountingCoach by looking online for affordable training options. It was a massive reason I felt confident enough to continue my path towards new responsibilities and growth. I am now a fractional CFO, and when I come across something that I need a quick refresher on, I can still rely on AccountingCoach. It is a simple and intuitive way to understand accounting. I put all of my new employees on AccountingCoach their first week so they have the opportunity to utilize the resources and grow, too." - Cheyenne P.
