"With the resources available through AccountingCoach, I was able to learn many of the fundamentals about accounting and bookkeeping without any prior background. With the wealth of knowledge provided by AccountingCoach at my back, I've been able to take over all accounting functions for a $5M company after less than a year. I used other resources as well, but couldn't have done it without the firm base established by my time studying AccountingCoach." - Nick B.
