Featured Review
"I am currently a staff accountant (following a career change) with a B.S. in accounting, and MBA. I have 20 years of experience in the retail industry, and 10 years in the accounting industry across diverse sub-industries, e.g. government, digital media, non-profit, etc. I became a PRO user to increase my knowledge via continuing education, become a more valuable employee for current and future employers, and to use the information provided to assist with studying for the two-part CMA exam in 2024. I like the comprehensive nature of the materials, such as the explanation, quizzes, and various other creative tactics to facilitate learning, e.g. flashcards, word puzzles, and crossword. I have benefitted from your materials primarily through additional hard-skill learning and retention. The 30+ categories presented are very well rounded and detailed, which is so useful for individuals hoping to accelerate their learning path." - Jon G.
