"The AccountingCoach has helped me thru the years with all kinds of accounting questions. I have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and my MBA. I have had various different accounting jobs and turn to AccountingCoach when I need a refresher or if I have a question. I recently took a job at a nonprofit organization and had no idea what I was getting into. AccountingCoach even has a section on that. You learn a lot in college but if you don't use what you've learned every day, AccountingCoach is a good resource to get yourself back up to speed." - Rhonda S.
