"I am an internal audit director, and I became a PRO user while I was working on my degree. I was struggling with intermediate accounting and needed help. Using AccountingCoach as a student, I found the material easy to understand. It has continued to be helpful as a quick reference that I can trust throughout my career. Using AccountingCoach when I was struggling in school helped me get my degree. I am a CPA now, and I still find it to be a helpful tool." - Kat C.
