"My purchase of Harold Averkamp's AccountingCoach PRO service was one of my best career decisions. It is embarrassing to say that my accelerated MBA, focused in accounting, was too brief for becoming an accountant. I began subscribing to different online courses, however, these could not deliver exactly what I needed. My problem was solved with my purchase of AccountingCoach PRO. I am so grateful for the streamlined, organized, and invaluable lifetime service of AccountingCoach PRO. The content is well organized into a learning path and includes cheat sheets for quick references. The content is valuable for both current and aspiring careers in accounting and finance. The PRO membership content is also relevant for payapp developers, business owners, investors, and management consultants. I referenced these cheat sheets before every job interview leading into my accounting career, and I am grateful to say that thanks to this, my most recent role is FP&A Manager. Accounting is complicated and vital for all business activities, and I firmly believe that an AccountingCoach PRO membership is the best way to get started with it." - Laurence D.
