"I am thankful I signed up for AccountingCoach. My background is in front-office customer service and minor bookkeeping. My husband and I opened a satellite office for a European company where I had to use all those skills and more. We have an ERP system and an accountant, but I needed to brush up on some of my bookkeeping and learn new skills to keep up with my accountant. I have recently started with AccountingCoach, and I can tell you that it is user friendly and easy to navigate. You can go in order or jump to a section as needed. Everything is clearly explained. The PRO platform is great because you have access to all the material whenever you need it, so if I have any future questions, I can go back and look at it. I would highly recommend this website to others." - Susan H.
