"An important job opportunity within a major food company drove me here. As a non-native english speaker, I was looking for a solution to learn how to use and express my knowledge in accounting and finance in English, a requirement needed to succeed in my job application. I wanted a well-organized website gathering all the different aspects of accounting in one place. After surfing on the Internet, I finally found AccountingCoach and did not hesitate long before subscribing to the PRO membership. The variety of resources (to download, to watch, ...) was the perfect solution to both read and hear accounting and financial English." - Sebastian G.
