Featured Review
"I became a PRO user of AccountingCoach to enhance my knowledge of accounting procedures, as I am self-taught, and knew from the first time I logged on that this site would be beneficial for me. I like the AccountingCoach website because of the detailed explanations of procedures and the self-testing to show where my weaknesses and strengths are, and because it is an extremely useful reference program. The benefit of using AccountingCoach for me is the easy access to specific subject matters and the assistance it provides me to learn, grow, and take on added responsibilities with confidence in my role as Accounting Manager. I would highly recommend this site for anyone who is responsible for accounting, bookkeeping, and financial reporting. It has helped me personally to gain confidence in providing accurate financial information to the owner of our company." - Darlene H.
