"This service has helped me tremendously over the years. I signed up for this service when I attended school for my finance degree. This not only helped me through classes obtaining Summa Cum Laude, but also currently helps me today. I'm the finance director of a manufacturing company, and I use this site often to stay on top of any changes and assist me with training my employees. It's clear and direct and very informative. Along with tests and a wonderful glossary, I'm not sure what I would do without it. Thank you for providing such an excellent service to assist in my accounting career journey." - Jetawn R.
