ACCRUAL CAULRCAFeatured Review
"I'm a virtual assistant to two amazing small-business owners, and I get paid as a contractor, so I needed to brush up on my accounting skills before I started invoicing. I wanted to set up my own accounting system in Notion (my go-to, everything-management app) that would grow with my personal needs, so I became a PRO user so I could have long-term access to the lessons and information. What I love about AccountingCoach are the generously-written explanations for everything; I only have high-school accounting knowledge from the 1990s (and Australian accounting, at that), but I could still jump in and find my way immediately. It's also a relief to have just one single trusted information source, so I don't ever have to scour the internet for accounting info. I basically use AccountingCoach as a textbook that I can rely on to be accurate and complete. My main benefit from all this has been confidence—I've built my little Notion-based accounting system, and I know if I need to expand it or improve it I can just jump on AccountingCoach PRO and find the information I need to help me do that." - Dan S.
