"I work in finance, and my current position is as an accountant. I became a PRO user because I really like the format of your website, and how intuitive it is. The site offers easy search functionality, and explanations of accounting procedures and principles. I also really like the materials provided on the website, as they are presented in a way that's easy for either a beginner, or an advanced person to use and understand. I have benefited for many years from using AccountingCoach. For example, when I need to refer back to a topic or a task, I can find what I am looking for. The instructions are also easy to follow and remember, unlike many other accounting websites that have so much ‘filler jargon’ on them, which makes it hard to get a quick and simple answer when you need it. AccountingCoach, however, gives me the ease of knowing my accounting questions will be answered, and the website also provides some really good step-by-step instructions on how to perform an accounting task." - Dorian W.
