"I've been a member of AccountingCoach for a couple of years now, and since signing up, it has helped me refresh my accounting knowledge after taking a break shortly after college to backpack through Central America. I am currently a senior accountant, and became a PRO user because knowledge is key. I find it extremely important to always stay up to date, as well as to support tools that encourage students from all over to continue learning. I truly enjoy how accountable AccountingCoach keeps with the multiple questions and quizzes, and how it always keeps their members up to date. AccountingCoach has provided numerous benefits, including making learning interesting, allowing me to continue or pick up learning on my own time, and the endless education/site improvements that it brings to me as a student." - Denisse
