AccountingCoach.com was launched in 2003 to help people throughout the world learn, refresh, and deepen their understanding of introductory accounting and bookkeeping at no cost. The free website (option #1) contains explanations, quizzes, Q&A, and more for 30 major topics. On the website we have posted the 2,023 testimonials we received because our materials are easier to understand than accounting textbooks costing hundreds of dollars.
In 2007 we created a second option, which has evolved into AccountingCoach PRO. PRO contains premium materials such as interactive quick tests, visual tutorials, video seminars, business forms and more. In early 2017 we added progress tracking and seven Quick Tests with Coaching to the PRO option.
Later in 2017 (after a year of development) we introduced a third option AccountingCoach PRO Plus to provide the much-requested certificates of achievement. This third option includes all the materials from PRO, plus three certificates of achievement: Debits and Credits, Adjusting Entries, and Financial Statements. The certificates are earned by achieving a grade of at least 70% on each of the certificate exams. (The certificate exam questions vary with each attempt and they are not released.)
All three of our options (AccountingCoach.com, AccountingCoach PRO, and AccountingCoach PRO Plus) enable people to improve and retain their accounting and bookkeeping skills without the cost of tuition, textbooks, child care, and travel. (PRO and PRO Plus have a modest, one-time cost for lifetime access.) With Internet access you can increase your knowledge, confidence, and value at little or no cost.
