"I currently teach Bookkeeping at one of the colleges in New York City. Being a member of AccountingCoach PRO has helped me tremendously. There is always something new to learn and teach. The price is very affordable. I have always encouraged my students to join the site. I'm glad to say that some have and they have really benefited from what AccountingCoach PRO has to offer." - Marcia S.
