Featured Review
"I am currently employed as an accounting manager, and have been involved with accounting all throughout my career. I became a PRO user after reviewing AccountingCoach with a CFO at a previous employer. He agreed that this would be a useful tool to have available to me and the accounting department. The detail and amount of accounting information available in AccountingCoach has been very helpful in my career. There are so many challenges to accounting work. Having AccountingCoach to find answers for general and specific processes has been invaluable to me. It has helped me to work through challenging issues as well as to just get a refresher on basic accounting situations. It is assuring to know that I will always have this tool at my disposal." - Michael S.
