"As the owner of a busy bookkeeping firm I decided it was time to go for a degree in Accounting. Before opening my firm. I took the necessary courses to become a Licensed Certified Bookkeeper, which included two college accounting classes and passing the final exams. AccountingCoach helped me through the classes to attain my professional license, with my business and now with earning my accounting degree. They break everything down and make it easy to understand. AccountingCoach has been my go-to resource website for so much in the past four years and will continue to be. My belief is, you never stop learning and AccountingCoach has been there the whole way. Thank you so very much for your website! I maintained a 4.0 GPA through all of my accounting classes with your help and intend to graduate with my degree in accounting with the same GPA!" - Nadine M.
