"What is absolutely wonderful about AccountingCoach is that they have just the right answer at just the right time. In our top-heavy results driven business environment, and because I have had to wear many hats for various employers, sometimes you grow stale between projects on particular topics. It's good to know that I can 'refresh' my mind and continue to be and sound like the accounting professional I am. Their easy-to-follow format and search gets me right where I need to be....fast. Thank you!" - Shirley C.
