"I am a student starting over at 56. Accounting is not easy for me although I love learning it. The AccountingCoach has helped me clearly understand. It explains things in a way I understand. Accounting is not simple at first, I wonder if I will ever feel I 'know' it fully. But, I know I would not have an 'A' had I not found AccountingCoach. It has been well worth what little money I spent for it. I would be the best sales person for AccountingCoach since I share it with so many people. Thank God I found you!" - Lisa B.
