"I have my own bookkeeping business with a full time client base. AccountingCoach has been an invaluable tool for research, process, and of course, how to book those out of the ordinary General Journal Entries. I have been a bookkeeper for 30+ yrs; the CPAs with whom I work call me an accountant which is quite a compliment. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I am able to continue to learn and hone my bookkeeping skills to better serve my clients." - Jeanne R.
