Featured Review
"I am currently the controller for a wall-and-ceiling subcontractor. I have been in this position for almost 5 years now. I have no accounting background, as I was a professional hairstylist before I came to this company. With hard work, and with the AccountingCoach Online Course, I have become quite an amazing financial accountant! The previous controller for our company had set me up with PRO for weekly training. AccountingCoach is the best accounting website I've seen. I have referred multiple friends and family members to AccountingCoach for training, either for a new position at work, a refresher, or for someone wanting to change their career to accounting. The material on this website is on point. It is everything you would learn in a community college accounting degree, and it has benefited me in so many ways. It taught me the basics of accounting, plus so much more. It also helped me understand financial accounting, and cash-flow reporting, which is huge in the position I am now in." - Tamara K.
