Featured Review
"As a business owner, I believe it is very important to understand the financial health of your business and not depend solely on the opinion of others. Having an understanding of financial documents helps me to make better business decisions. I became a PRO user because it allows me the opportunity to test and confirm my knowledge base at the same time. I like the materials because they are easy to follow, and don't contain a lot of accounting jargon that someone without that background would find difficult to understand. This program is a keepsake, as I can consult it regularly when I come across a financial matter in my daily business that I'm not very familiar with." - Monica G.
