"I currently work as a computer engineer. I became a PRO user on AccountingCoach to track my progress and enhance my experience on the platform. What I like most about the material is that it provides multiple mediums, including text explanations and videos to enhance the experience. This has all benefited me in providing me with a better foundational knowledge of financial and managerial accounting and has helped me to excel in my accounting and finance courses in my MBA program." - Jonathan J.
