"I became a PRO user back when I was an accounting student pursuing my bachelor's degree. Accounting is like a whole different language, so I found it difficult to learn in the beginning. As someone who did not have prior accounting knowledge in high school, it would take me a while before I would understand the topics. Then I found AccountingCoach, and it helped me tremendously in really grasping the concepts at my own pace. I also utilized the exams as practice for my actual exams. I found that the most effective way to test one's knowledge is to try it on their own, and the materials on AccountingCoach allowed me to do just that. I graduated Summa Cum Laude and am now an accountant at a local public accounting firm. I am really thankful for the resources provided by AccountingCoach when I was still a student, and I am looking forward to maximizing the benefits with PRO Plus now as a professional!" - Katrina T.
