"I have been a bookkeeping professional for 16 years. AccountingCoach PRO has been a tremendous resource for me and my team. The material is well organized for studying, and each module's Certificates of Achievement validate learning. I love the tests and quizzes, which test and validate one's knowledge. The different methods of instruction, like flashcards, video tutorials, and printed materials, appeal to all learning styles. The program has allowed me and my team to expand our understanding of accounting and bookkeeping principles and reporting, and to quickly find information when we need to refresh our training on any specific topic. I highly recommend AccountingCoach’s programs to anyone in the bookkeeping industry, or who owns a bookkeeping business. The entire team can benefit from the program. Thank you, AccountingCoach!" - Sal R.
