"I am a principal for my own company. In addition, I also serve as an executive director for a community-development financial institution in the Mid-Atlantic region. I became a PRO user because I wanted to deepen my understanding of accounting concepts. I also wanted to be able to engage more effectively with financial counterparties at my job, and to be able to more effectively budget, forecast, and deepen my understanding of corporate finance. I like the materials because they are relevant, easily accessible, and organized in such a way that even a novice can benefit from walking through them in a stepwise manner. When I first learned of AccountingCoach, I was a business analyst. Through leveraging the concepts via the AccountingCoach website, I was able to parlay my financial acumen into a deeper understanding of financial concepts, which assisted me in being promoted to management, and eventually gave me the confidence to step out and found my own company. I highly recommend the tools, and I'm very thankful to Harold Averkamp for putting this content together and continuing to provide it. For anyone considering leveraging the AccountingCoach suite of tools, I highly recommend that you begin—you'll be glad that you did!" - Rennard B.
