"As a bookkeeper, I want to strive for excellence and continual improvement. I don't have an accounting degree, but I have learned through mentors and experience. I started taking the courses in AccountingCoach to help me better see the big picture—to increase my confidence by understanding the “why” behind the books. AccountingCoach is exactly what I needed. The core concepts are thoroughly explained, the quizzes help cement my knowledge, and I love that I can watch them over and over again as needed. AccountingCoach is an incredible resource and provides great value." - Jen C.
