Featured Review
"My current position is Accounting Associate. I recently graduated with a Masters of Accounting, and have roughly 8 months of accounting experience. I became a PRO user to use all the features of AccountingCoach in order to be better at journal entries for entry-level accounting positions. I loved that the materials were condensed and extremely easy to read, understand, and implement into my studies for tests and for my current position. I have benefited from the program by being more confident with adjusting entries, statements, journal entries, cash flow statements, as well as understanding the language of business." - Brittany D.
