Featured Review
"I have been in accounting for 20 years and had questions while changing industries. AccountingCoach was such a valuable tool helping me understand those things I had forgotten or was not exposed to during my career. The teaching, tests, puzzles and study material are an excellent way to learn or brush up on your accounting skills. Before finding AccountingCoach, I looked into purchasing books to assist me in the questions I had. The books would have cost me 5 times the amount it cost to join AccountingCoach and I got more content and material than I would have purchasing 3 books. I recommend AccountingCoach to anyone wanting to learn, brush up on their accounting skills or might be opening up a small business. It's an excellent way to understand accounting at your own pace." - Denise B.
