"I want to share that I've embraced your education in between jobs and in between states. I signed up to further what I already have learned and it has been a wonderful review of what I already knew along with learning so much more I did not know. I find myself far more confident in taking control of making the accounting office 'right', in accordance with the GAAP. The tools provided are creative and intelligent, and they help make learning a fun thing. I'm really grateful I found PRO Plus and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!
