"I am the co-owner of a small-business accounting firm, and I found AccountingCoach when researching training for our staff who do both taxes and bookkeeping. I love the format and how comprehensive the topic categories are. I love the different games and tests you can do to help your staff learn and to test their knowledge. We're implementing a new type of system for employee bonuses based on skills, and I plan to utilize this website to test skills for advancement. We also use these tests to screen potential candidates for job openings at our company. I think it's a great website and I'm excited for the upgrades!" - Julie R.
