"I joined AccountingCoach years ago. I was entering accounting via the grassroots of bookkeeping. Now, my current position is Controller at a high-end residential construction company. I became a PRO user to assist me in my undergrad classes at university, and to help with the concepts as I was learning the industry. I have enjoyed how well the contents are both laid out and explained. AccountingCoach has always been my first resource to find answers to questions or concepts I need. Thank you, and good luck in the future." - Richard H.
