"I decided to upgrade to PRO because I needed to understand the basics of accounting in English, as a non-native. AccountingCoach PRO is an easy way to find very well-written material, and easy to understand for non-native speakers as well. I can say that thanks to AccountingCoach, I could start a career abroad and I'm now specializing in accounts payable, as well as having the chance to expand my knowledge. The material is great, the quizzes and questions are to the point. And above all, with a low one-time payment, you can have lifetime access. I wish I had done this earlier!" - Vincenzo C.
