Featured Review
"I'm an independent bookkeeper. I'm very happy to have AccountingCoach as my most reliable source of information! It is my one and only resource that I don't know what I'd do without it. I became a PRO user many years ago because I was self-teaching to see if I could practice becoming involved in accounting for a living. The most important aspect of becoming a PRO user, which made me stay committed, was the easy access and all of the wonderful explanations of accounting. Easy-to-understand verbiage that didn’t go over my head was certainly key for me. If it wasn't for the easy access to all the material and resources, I would not have moved forward in my own business. I know I'm in good hands with this wonderful program. I'm well aware that I have so much confidence in what I do for my clients, knowing this program gives me valuable, reliable and helpful information when I need it most! I'm excited to see and experience your new website! I'm sure it will be even more user friendly and awesome. Thank you for being my rock for accounting!" - Nicky E.
