Featured Review
"AccountingCoach is one of the BEST tools to learn (and to refresh) my accounting knowledge. I have a degree in Accounting, and have worked in the field for many years before staying home to raise our children. After they got older, I wanted to get back into the field, but felt my skills were lacking/rusty. AccountingCoach PRO was exactly what I needed to refresh my skills and test my knowledge. All the topics are covered, so if you need more practice in a certain area, it's easy to focus on that. And if you think you are strong in an area, you can jump to the test to find out the truth (whether good and bad). It's a great value for so much material! Love it." - Ellen
