"Just had to write & say how much I love AccountingCoach and love being a PRO member! Love reading the material because the explanations are so clear and helpful. Years ago, I took a course at two different 2-year colleges, and I remember being frustrated and agonizing over how confusing and unclear both courses were to me. Having AccountingCoach's material to study heals the frustration and confusion and brings me hope and peace, and joy! Truly! I refer people to your site as much as possible knowing they'll be benefiting and very grateful. This is Education at its finest!" - Carol S.
