"AccountingCoach allowed me to understand accounting principles without any prior knowledge. Using simple to follow step-by-step explanations, I was able to grasp how debit and credit works, how balance sheet and income statement complimented each other, what the cash flow statement is and how to create one. I have tried many different books and online resources on accounting but only AccountingCoach managed to convey information in such a way that a person with zero previous knowledge or experience on the subject was able to finally understand and be able to apply it in real-life situations." - Alexander K.
