"I currently work as a bookkeeper. I became a PRO user as I had studied a different field in college, but as I moved up in the outsourced accounting firm I worked for, I needed to learn more about accounting. I like the fact that the materials are easy to understand, and that I didn't have to spend a fortune on more college courses. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I've been able to go further in my career, which has led to a better lifestyle." - Rachel M.
