"AccountingCoach has been a wonderful resource for me over the years. I have a degree in Accounting, but I've found that sometimes I need a refresher. After taking leave for several months, I felt my skills were a bit rusty, so I used AccountingCoach PRO to help me prepare for job interviews when I was ready to return to the workforce. AccountingCoach's explanations are concise, yet thorough enough to be used as a resource for both beginners and experienced accountants. I've been using it for years and highly recommend the PRO packages." - Camelia C.
