AccountingCoach is my go-to resource whenever I encounter something new in bookkeeping. After a career in a totally different field, I took several bookkeeping courses, and then opened my own bookkeeping firm a few years ago. There are still always new things for me to learn, and AccountingCoach explains them in a way that's easy to understand. AccountingCoach makes it easy to find what you are looking for, which allows me to know exactly what to do for my clients. I became a PRO user in order to have access to the PDF version of the materials. I printed them out to read, which I prefer over reading them off a screen.
I can't believe how much more confidence AccountingCoach PRO has given me, and I never want to be without it! I received my degree in accounting, but still found that I had questions, and did not feel confident in my abilities to perform in my new position as an accountant in a small contract manufacturing company. Because of this, I purchased the PRO version so that I could study sections I was not clear about and then test my knowledge. Being able to keep track of what you have studied is great, but what I love most is that I am able to figure out what I need more help in with the tests, and then use the flashcards to help me understand those areas better—so much so that I have challenged decisions from our controller, and was able to intelligently discuss my reasoning and be granted permission for change. Any person wanting to become a bookkeeper or accountant would benefit from using AccountingCoach, but having the PRO version takes it to the next level! Oh, by the way—I started as the staff accountant, and have since been promoted to Assistant Controller and will be promoted again to Controller when our current controller retires in less than a year. Thank you!
My current position is Staff Accountant in a public accounting CPA firm, working with businesses in a variety of industries. I became a PRO user because I had no prior knowledge in accounting, and learning fast was a must. I came across AccountingCoach and quickly learned that this was what I needed. I dived into it a few hours every day learning the basics of accounting, which has brought me up to speed tremendously regarding the understanding and vocabulary of the accounting world. I found the most value in the help the site provided for understanding the accounting principles at a macro level, then diving deeper into each topic, challenging me to rewire my thinking to understand the principles and concepts. The AccountingCoach curriculum helped me to excel in my understanding in accounting to better serve clients and add value to the firm, even earning multiple promotions. I thank AccountingCoach for bringing me up to speed and laying the foundation of my accounting knowledge. I plan to continue to use the material in its new and updated curriculum to further my knowledge, thus providing apt understanding to clients.
When I began to cut my teeth as a new general ledger accountant, I discovered that my memory of a lot of the accounting that I learned in college was getting slightly hazy. So, I combed the internet for websites that could help refresh that hazy memory of accounting principles. When I stumbled upon AccountingCoach by Harold Averkamp, CPA, MBA, my search ended. AccountingCoach helped me straighten out the bits and pieces of accounting that were beginning to elude me or that hadn't quite fallen into place. It didn't take long for me to realize that I wanted, and needed, the peace of mind of having complete access to the concise and easy-to-understand lessons. I became a PRO user over fifteen years ago, and I have always been glad I did. Thank you, AccountingCoach, for many years of being my number-one accounting research website!
I have been an active member of AccountingCoach since 2015, when my wife purchased the membership on my behalf. I have to say, I was skeptical at first, but it turned out to be the greatest investment in my career. When I worked in the public accounting industry, I used the site as a primary source of information and as a refresher to the classes I took in college. The quizzes and tests were a great confidence booster and provided real-world references for me to be able to connect college instruction to actual implementation. I have since left public accounting to work for a private construction firm, and I still use the site as a source of reference and to remind myself of the fundamentals. It is especially useful when training new employees, because it provides an instructional point of view, which facilitates the transfer of information. I plan to maintain my membership well into retirement, and I thank Mr. Averkamp for the development and implementation of such a useful tool.
As a business owner, I believe it is very important to understand the financial health of your business and not depend solely on the opinion of others. Having an understanding of financial documents helps me to make better business decisions. I became a PRO user because it allows me the opportunity to test and confirm my knowledge base at the same time. I like the materials because they are easy to follow, and don't contain a lot of accounting jargon that someone without that background would find difficult to understand. This program is a keepsake, as I can consult it regularly when I come across a financial matter in my daily business that I'm not very familiar with.
AccountingCoach has been invaluable in sharing and imparting accounting knowledge. Since I became a member of your training platform, my understanding of accounting fundamentals has become firmly established. AccountingCoach is a godsend for anyone that needs a learning and training partner as they develop. With Harold Averkamp, AccountingCoach is a no-brainer. You will find many resources on AccountingCoach: formulas, accounting equations, tables, layouts, accounting jargon, and presentation formats for professional presentation. You can take my word for it. I have been a member and still continue to be one today.
I have been using the AccountingCoach PRO program throughout my entire career. It has been an invaluable resource since the beginning of my accounting journey, playing a crucial role in supporting and enhancing my knowledge. The platform has been instrumental in my professional growth within the field. Even to this day, I continue to revisit the site for reviews and refreshers. Whether you are already in the accounting field or looking to learn more about accounting, having this resource at your fingertips is highly beneficial.
I have been a bookkeeping professional for five years, and AccountingCoach PRO Plus has been a tremendous resource for me. The material is well-organized for studying and the Certificates of Achievement for each module validate learning. The various methods of instruction (flashcards, video tutorials, and printed materials) appeal to all learning styles. This program has allowed me to expand my understanding of accounting principles and reporting, and to easily locate information when I need to refresh my training on a particular topic. I highly recommend AccountingCoach for anyone who works in the bookkeeping industry.
I am currently a customer service rep for a company. To get into the accounting department, you need to pass a test after purchasing a package from AccountingCoach. I purchased the PRO membership to be able to understand the process completely, and it really did help. It has also tremendously helped me to understand and retain information. I really like the quizzes and word searches put together because it is a fun way to learn. I recommend it when anyone asks me how I studied for the test. Thank you for putting all this information together. I appreciate it, and you have helped my career!
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.
As a private business accountant, I often need more expert help. When looking for online help with difficult accounting issues, I stumbled across AccountingCoach. It was by far the best and most detailed website I had found. Their material is very in depth, yet simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. Their examples of journal entries always make me look like the expert. In the middle of tax season, I can always get quick help within minutes. I love AccountingCoach and would never want to be without their assistance and knowledge. Thank you, AccountingCoach!
My current job position is Assistant Finance Director. I have worked in the accounting field for thirty-three years. I became a PRO user because it provides refresher courses when needed, and helps me understand different areas of accounting I may not touch on regularly. The materials are easy to understand, and I like how there are quizzes to test your knowledge. I have benefited from AccountingCoach by having the ability to expand my knowledge in the accounting field. I am thankful to have this service, and appreciate your time and consideration.
I received a degree in accounting in 1990, and have worked with accounts payable for several companies. Since I didn't work with the whole spectrum of accounting, I had often forgotten rules for depreciation, accounts receivable, and the various other aspects of accounting. AccountingCoach has been a great source to get information that can help you with accounting concepts that you may not be familiar with (or have forgotten). I have also worked at a technical college, teaching professional development, business law, computer technology, and accounting. AccountingCoach was a great resource to help me stay current with procedures that I needed to teach my students. I am retired now, and still do bookkeeping/accounting for a business that my husband owns. I use AccountingCoach to help me stay current with accounting topics that I haven't reviewed in a while. AccountingCoach is a great source of information.
I joined AccountingCoach years ago, and this website has helped me so much. I am so grateful. I work as a financial analyst, and although it is not in accounting, this platform has helped me better understand the basics needed to improve my overall job performance. I have benefitted from the materials tremendously. I just wish I would have discovered this website much sooner, but I am so glad it exists for anyone who would like to understand the accounting cycle, read and interpret financial statements, and review the financial health of any organization. Becoming a PRO user meant having the ability to expand my knowledge even further. I am able to earn multiple certificates and help any of my colleagues who need assistance or to better understand the overall accounting cycle. The website and the materials offered have made me more confident, and as a result, I am able to understand what the accounting executives say during town halls when summarizing the financial status of the company. I am forever grateful, and have recommended AccountingCoach to my family and friends. Thank you so very much.
My background is in accounting and taxation. I have been doing both for over 20 years. I also teach taxation courses, and I am an enrolled agent. I have been using AccountingCoach for what I believe has been 15 plus years. AccountingCoach has been my savior since my college days. The material is concise and easy to understand, and the theory is broken down into manageable pieces. Over the years, I have seen the growth and amount of work put into this site, which shows the passion and dedication of the creator. This course helped me to graduate college with my degree in accounting. Currently, I am taking the course to certify in bookkeeping and payroll. The material provided is well worth the small fee. I have reached out to the content creator, who has always been helpful. Thank you for all that you do.
I am currently employed as an accounting manager, and have been involved with accounting all throughout my career. I became a PRO user after reviewing AccountingCoach with a CFO at a previous employer. He agreed that this would be a useful tool to have available to me and the accounting department. The detail and amount of accounting information available in AccountingCoach has been very helpful in my career. There are so many challenges to accounting work. Having AccountingCoach to find answers for general and specific processes has been invaluable to me. It has helped me to work through challenging issues as well as to just get a refresher on basic accounting situations. It is assuring to know that I will always have this tool at my disposal.
I am the president/CEO of an outsourced accounting and CFO advisory firm. I originally became a PRO user when I was working towards my bachelor’s degree. The material that was being taught in school did not click for me until I found AccountingCoach. AccountingCoach made it so incredibly easy for me to understand the concepts of basic accounting principles. To this day, I still refer to AccountingCoach when I need it, and I refer my clients to it as well. The material presented is compiled together very well and is very seamless going from one topic to the next. I would recommend AccountingCoach to anyone and everyone who needs that extra bit of ‘umph’ in their accounting knowledge.
My position is Advisor, along with Construction Control Board (CCB) Trainer, and of course, Small Business Entrepreneur. My experiential background was heavy in government contracting, leadership, and strategic and operational planning. However, I was a novice on most things bookkeeping and accounting until Harold Averkamp and the AccountingCoach site were brought to my attention. I signed up for the concise and clearly-written content, which walked me through the entirety of accounting while seamlessly letting me review and use any specific topic. Coaching small wannabe contractors on the topic of asset depreciation kept coming up in class—among many other bookkeeping and accounting topics. I certainly understood the basics, but that only tantalized the audience for the details. SO, I turned to my go-to resource, AccountingCoach. 4 lessons on depreciation, a quiz, and some scenario-based Q&A later, and suddenly I was a sage advisor being asked for accounting advice (which I respectfully declined to give). I recommend the site regularly as a startup first step and planning precursor to consulting a CPA. At a minimum, you should learn the accounting language. The materials are laid out clearly, well written, easy to understand, and speak to what I need to know. I will continue to use and recommend the site as a vital business management resource.
AccountingCoach is designed for non-accountants and is well suited to students, small-business owners, and bookkeepers. The quizzes and crosswords provide positive reinforcement and are a fun way to learn. There are videos if you prefer to learn by watching and listening rather than reading. The tests increase your confidence in your mastery of the material. As an employer, you can test the knowledge of a potential hire before they can touch your books. Additionally, the free articles on bookkeeping and accounting are a great resource for when you have questions as an isolated bookkeeper working from home with no peers working alongside you. The PRO Plus membership has certificates you can earn, which could potentially even help an employee get a raise or promotion at work, or to return to the workforce. All around, this site is a great resource.
I love this platform! I use AccountingCoach because I am a lawyer without a background in accounting. It is useful for me to brush up on concepts when I am representing clients in tax matters, or doing my own accounting work. It is an amazing resource. Mr. Averkamp has put together an incredible resource for consumers and business owners alike. I am excited to see what types of upgrades are coming to the platform. I am sure they will be extremely useful to the public.
I have been in accounting for 35 years, always with the company I was working for. I recently took a job with a CPA firm and was a little worried about the broad exposure to many different sets of books and situations. I knew about AccountingCoach through the free trial, so I signed up for a membership and started going through the modules. With the content and quizzes, I was able to brush up on some concepts and learn a few new ones in a matter of 2 weeks. It was easy, straightforward, and has really boosted my confidence for my new job. I would highly recommend the site to anyone with or without an accounting degree.
After having a career as a banker in India for about 17 years, I started my own business. Being on a new venture, I did not want to employ a bookkeeper or an accountant, so I searched the net for various accounting and bookkeeping courses. I was lucky to have enrolled in the AccountingCoach Basic course. The explanations and course materials were so good and easy to understand that I could grasp the concepts within a few months. I then upgraded to the PRO course and have been enjoying it the same. I strongly recommend that all novice, aspiring, and existing bookkeepers and accountants enroll in the program to stay abreast of the latest in the accounting world.
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.
There are many resources out here in ‘internet land’, but AccountingCoach has become my go-to for all things accounting. Whether it is a specific accounting question I have, or if it is simply to refresh my brain regarding a cash flow statement, prepaids, deferrals, or all things accrual! I have small-business owners as clients, and I refer them here to learn the basics. What a truly great resource for simple AND more challenging accounting questions. I appreciate you, AccountingCoach!
With the virtually sole help of AccountingCoach, I was able to leave my dead-end job in customer service 4 years ago and become a bookkeeper. I became a PRO user to help me learn bookkeeping because I wanted a less social job than my previous one, and I enjoy working with numbers. The site presents by far the most digestible ways of understanding accounting, and the videos are much more interesting than having to learn everything via reading. I currently work for a small family-owned company so I haven't yet needed all of the Certificates of Achievement from the site, but I plan to try to work for a much bigger company soon, where the badges, certificates, and other features that PRO Plus has to offer will be of great help for me in achieving my long-term career goals.
My current position is a staff accountant at a CPA firm, and I am also an enrolled agent. I believe I became a member in 2014 or 2015 as I decided to go back to school to get my accounting degree. I love AccountingCoach because it helped me get through my studies when I was completing my degree, and also helped me to become an agent. I use AccountingCoach on a regular basis because it also teaches me something new, and the quizzes are great!
As a new business owner, I needed a practical resource to rely upon for accounting and bookkeeping information, and AccountingCoach was a perfect fit. When I first started my small business, I was frustrated because I had to rely upon other people for accounting and bookkeeping advice, and it was costly. I upgraded to PRO not because I needed any certificates, but because it unlocked more value and helped further my own education. By becoming an AccountingCoach PRO member and learning the basics of accounting and bookkeeping, I was able to save thousands of dollars hiring other people. This program pays for itself.
I'm a PhD student majoring in construction management. I became a PRO user because my major required me to enroll in a construction cost management course, where accounting principles were frequently discussed. As someone with almost no knowledge of accounting concepts and principles, I find the materials in this online course very easy to understand. The quizzes were also fun and engaging. The materials now serve as a knowledge bank and cheat sheet for whenever I need to refresh or grasp an accounting concept swiftly. Big thanks to the creators of this mind-blowing course.
After being an accounts receivable supervisor for 9 years at a large building supply company, I was offered a role in the accounting department. However, this was not what I had studied in college. I work for two individuals who both have master’s degrees in the subject, so I quickly found myself at a loss trying to follow their conversations. I did some research and found your program online, along with some of your free tips and glossaries. I found the materials immensely helpful, so I decided to sign up. Your program has helped me in SO many situations, such as when I was stuck on how something rolled to the balance sheet, how stocks and investments were handled in the general ledger, etc. The information is so clear and easy to understand. You saved me—I could not be more grateful! One of the features that appeals to me most, is the ability to go on and look for the specific topic that I am needing help on. AccountingCoach always helps me to understand the full picture of the process, and I feel much more confident in accomplishing the tasks handed to me by my superiors. I have been in my current role for over 6 years now, and with the company for over 18 years... I cannot recommend this program enough! Thank you for offering such a great program!
As a seasoned professional with over 14 years of experience in overseas banking and a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Australia, my role as a bookkeeper demands constant skill enhancement. AccountingCoach's user-friendly platform and well-structured materials have been instrumental in refreshing my accounting knowledge. Being a practical PRO user, I've found the learning resources to be comprehensive and the instructions to be exceptionally clear. The benefits I've gained from AccountingCoach have improved efficiency in my work, making complex tasks more manageable. I am excited about the upcoming enhancements to the website, and am willing to continue my journey with AccountingCoach.
I have a BS in accounting, and was previously working as an accountant/cash manager. Then, I took 15 years off to raise my kids. Once I decided to go back to work, I felt very out of the loop, so to speak, when it came to accounting. My education and work experience had been such a long time ago. I found AccountingCoach quite by accident, but once I looked it over, I became a PRO user so that I could track my progress and have lifetime access to many of the other advantages PRO provides, like the videos and quick tests. I really liked that everything was organized into subjects and that I could either go in order, or click into different areas and read or work on a specific accounting subject. Working through various parts of your program really helped me remember different things that I had previously learned, and also helped give me the confidence to get back on track with my career. I am currently working as an assistant controller. I still go back in now and then to reinforce some of my previous education, as well as to go over things I don't have as much experience in, like non-profit accounting. This really is a great site, whether you're new to accounting, or you already have an accounting background and just need to use it to reinforce your knowledge or improve your skills. I have never regretted spending the money to become a PRO user.
I am a degreed accounting and finance professional with a diverse business background (bookkeeper, staff accountant, auction coordinator, etc.). Over the years I have held many different roles that sometimes require transaction-heavy duties. Other times, the billing, invoicing, and journal transactions are automated. In order to keep my accounting skills sharp and to retain my theoretical understanding, I had chosen AccountingCoach PRO many years ago. The content has always been concisely written and well structured, with possible areas of confusion preemptively addressed. It's a great platform to have access to for graduates, students, and accounting professionals alike. AccountingCoach has benefited me greatly, as its materials have always kept me prepared for my next challenge.
I have been an accounting instructor for 18 years at the university, community college, and K12 secondary levels. I use AccountingCoach with all of my students. This site breaks down accounting topics into easy-to-understand content for anyone, from the novice accounting student to the advanced learner. It's an excellent supplemental resource that comes highly recommended. I have a bachelor’s in business, an MBA with an emphasis in accounting, and I am currently pursuing a DBA with a specialty in accounting. In fact, before interviewing for my first adjunct accounting position, I used AccountingCoach as a content refresher, which helped me secure the job.
I joined AccountingCoach when I was in my internship years, right after college (11 years back). As of now, I am holding the position of Finance Manager for a multi-disciplinary, international architectural and engineering consultancy. In my earlier days, when I joined AccountingCoach, without doubt your content and materials would help me understand the complex accounting policies in a much easier way. More so, the materials break accounting policies down into small parts, then explain the reasoning behind them. The other thing that I found very interesting was the glossary page, where each of the sections of accounting were split in a way that it was easy to get directly into the topic of interest. Furthermore, as I started growing in the company and began building a team, I always referred AccountingCoach to young interns who would join the team, simply because it is a one-stop shop for all accounting queries, explained in the simplest way possible. Honestly, as of now, I do not visit the website that often. However, whenever I have to go back to an accounting issue or understand a certain concept, AccountingCoach is my first preference.
I am an independent bookkeeper specializing in non-profit accounting. My background includes a master's degree in business, with Certificates of Achievement from AccountingCoach to supplement my credentials. I became a PRO user to further my skills in accounting, better perform my job, and expand my scope of services. AccountingCoach is user friendly and offers many learning opportunities. The menu allows you to track progression in individual areas and quick-reference topics. The Certificates of Achievement help assess learning and apply learned knowledge, as well as to review topics/skills in need of more development. I like that the materials are available online and are consistent in targeting accounting topics for all levels of accountants and bookkeepers. The website is always reliable, and I have never experienced it being offline or inaccessible. I have benefitted from AccountingCoach’s materials and have been able to enhance my current skills, review other skills, and develop/learn additional skills that have helped me obtain more clients and perform my current role at a higher capacity. It has given me confidence in weak areas of my knowledge, and has been a valuable resource for review of areas less frequently used in my current job. I have recommended AccountingCoach to colleagues as a learning and developmental tool for accounting, from beginner to advanced user. I started using AccountingCoach 4-5 years ago and still use it today. Thank you for creating such a great accounting resource and learning tool.
I have a wide range of experience in my career. I started in theater, and worked as an administrator for several years. I created budgets, but did not need specific accounting skills. As my career went on, my work fell more and more into finance, working as a bookkeeper along with the rest of my duties. I found that no one had answers to my accounting questions, and my schooling was in theater, not finance. I realized I needed some help, and I was able to find AccountingCoach. I became a PRO user almost right away, once I saw how simple the material was to follow, and understood how much valuable information was crammed into such a seemingly small package. The quizzes and the ability to revisit lessons are immeasurable. It's a wealth of knowledge that's accessible and clear. I now have more of an understanding of actual accounting and how it works, rather than muddling my way through, counting on just my common sense and basic math skills to get me through. I refer to this material often whenever I find myself lacking the know-how, or just as a refresher.
Currently, I work for an oil company with a planning and budgets team. Part of my responsibilities is involving accruals, as well as working on the operations statements. The AccountingCoach program is a very useful tool for learning new things related to accounting. In addition, it helps to go over other accounting information that you may not be utilizing currently, which makes the information stick in your mind. Furthermore, the PRO membership is a very advanced and useful tool which makes your life very easy, helping in preparing for professional accounting certification, as well as with career advancement.
I am writing to express my gratitude and satisfaction as a PRO user of AccountingCoach. As Treasury Risk and Compliance Manager, I understand the value of continuous learning and professional development. Becoming a PRO user was an easy choice for me. Your extensive library of resources and materials cater to my specific needs and interests. The in-depth analyses, expert insights, and practical tips have immensely enriched my knowledge and skills in my field. Not only have your materials provided me with valuable information, but they have also helped me stay updated with the latest trends and advancements. The convenience of accessing the materials from anywhere and at any time has been a game-changer for my professional growth. Since I started utilizing your materials, I have noticed a significant improvement in my performance and confidence. The comprehensive content has enhanced my decision-making abilities, allowed me to develop innovative strategies, and improved my problem-solving skills. The diverse range of topics covered in your materials has helped me broaden my understanding of various aspects related to my job. The well-curated resources have served as a reliable source of inspiration and guidance, assisting me in tackling new challenges with ease. In conclusion, I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to be a PRO user of AccountingCoach. It has undoubtedly contributed to my success and development in my current role. I highly recommend your materials to professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills, and I look forward to benefiting further from your exceptional resource.
I am a CPA working in tax for a public accounting firm. I initially became a PRO user when first entering the accounting field. Many years had passed since completing my degree, so I was rusty on the basics. I was looking for a trusted and thorough source for accounting principles, and found that and so much more in AccountingCoach. The material gave me the in-depth review and the confidence I needed to jump right into bookkeeping work. In my current role, I use AccountingCoach as a reference to check myself on principles, financial-statement preparation, and journal entries. I’m grateful for this comprehensive and valuable site. What an asset!
I am so grateful to AccountingCoach. The site’s topics are clear, and consist of a lot of material. The examples provided with numbers help me to dive into the real world of bookkeeping and finance. I wish the program could be my professor for accounting. Thank you. Additionally, I want to mention the ratio analysis topic. I was so curious about the liquidity and profitability ratios that I checked and compared the financial information of my clients. I started to apply this knowledge in practice. I realized that small companies, like landscaping companies, usually accept third-party opinions on how to improve their business; especially if I supported my ideas using different types of diagrams. Using Excel allows me to even create simplistic mathematical models of projections of sales. It helps a lot with how to manage inventory on hand, and to avoid dramatical diminishing of cash flow from operating activities. We can clearly understand where the problematic customer is, and where the perfect one is, using the accounts receivable aging. Moreover, I have a lot of good things to say about adjusting and closing entries. Taking small steps from simple to increasingly-complicated material can definitely help people to build confidence and master their knowledge of bookkeeping, accounting, and finance. Using AccountingCoach helped me to have a career in an accounting company, then, after I got my EA certificate, to build a career in the field of taxation. Again, thank you very much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I have been a customer for 6 years.
As a seasoned solution architect specializing in the ERP domain for over 17 years, my success in projects has often hinged on a deep understanding of accounting principles. Despite my strong technology background, I encountered a significant gap in essential accounting knowledge crucial for excelling in ERP-related endeavors. It was during this quest for comprehensive accounting guidance that I fortuitously discovered AccountingCoach. The platform proved to be a game-changer in my pursuit of accounting proficiency. Its intuitive interface, coupled with an array of practice questions, flashcards, and comprehensive study aids, facilitated a swift and thorough comprehension of intricate accounting concepts. Remarkably, AccountingCoach condensed volumes of material into a singular, easily-navigable source, effectively replacing numerous reference books. This resource not only bolstered my confidence, but also equipped me with the requisite expertise crucial for my professional undertakings. Thanks to AccountingCoach, what once seemed like an insurmountable learning curve became an accessible and manageable journey. I wholeheartedly credit this platform for simplifying accounting knowledge and empowering professionals like me to thrive in the complex landscape of ERP.
My current position is as a business broker. I became a PRO user of AccountingCoach because I wanted to learn bookkeeping as a side job during the pandemic. The site is laid out in a very logical way, and it's very easy to follow. I love that there are tests along the way to check your knowledge. I first enrolled in AccountingCoach during the depths of the pandemic. I was stuck in a foreign country and couldn't return to the US, so I started to look for skills I could use to build an income. I chose bookkeeping and stumbled upon AccountingCoach. In a matter of weeks, I went from knowing nothing, to freelancing for clients. Later, I started a business and was able to handle all of my own books thanks to what I learned from AccountingCoach. After selling that business, I started helping others buy and sell their businesses as a business broker. Reading and understanding financial statements is an essential skill in this line of work. It is not a stretch to say that AccountingCoach is the highest ROI investment into my education that I have ever made!
I work independently, as well as with an accounting company, doing bookkeeping for clients. I've been doing this now for almost 15 years. When I started working with my accounting firm, I realized I lacked knowledge on the accounting side of things, and so I signed up with AccountingCoach to help me bridge the gap. I chose this program because of its systematic approach to the learning process. Having the ability to test to see what I've retained, whether through the quizzes or flashcard features, has been invaluable. This program has given me the confidence to speak the language of CPAs—something I didn't have before I started with AccountingCoach. I highly recommend this program to anyone just getting started in the accounting profession or looking to enhance their knowledge.
My experience with the accounting profession was originally with the use of proprietary accounting software for several years. Later on, my employment experience changed to using QuickBooks, which utilizes predetermined general ledger entries. After using this program for several years, the mind-numbing method of just entering invoices and bills, then letting the program do the work, made the process of dealing with exceptions difficult. It was at this time that I discovered AccountingCoach! The program was a great refresher of why and how for the general journal entries to appropriately book the irregular entries, and to correct mistakes that had been made, which haven’t been noticed until the month-end and year-end reports were made. I have used the program to expose newbies in the office, as well as bookkeeping friends, to the accounting processes. I have also encouraged them to become members, which has helped them to learn accounting rather than just bookkeeping. I find the materials to be an easy-to-follow process for my current needs, such as understanding what may have been an error and then, when corrected, to follow the links to foundational and related processes to better refresh the whole process for myself. I have also had the opportunity to introduce some homeschool high schoolers to the program and the lessons, which build well on each other for a great teaching program. I realize I personally did not use the program to learn accounting for certification, however, I have friends who have. I will continue to share the website and encourage subscriptions.
I initially found and signed up for AccountingCoach while taking undergraduate courses in corporate financial accounting, in support of my degree. AccountingCoach was an amazing resource when I had trouble understanding concepts or figuring out how to apply certain principles, and provided excellent examples and in-depth context from outside my textbooks, as well as case studies. I became a PRO user during my coursework so I could access the breadth of resources available on AccountingCoach, and I really appreciated being able to download copies of the material so I could keep them with my other course files and readily reference information without having to go find it again on the site. The usefulness of AccountingCoach didn't end with my degree. I started a business several years ago, and still return to AccountingCoach as a reference source. Most recently, I was working on an ERP migration and was having difficulty with transferring certain types of transactions between systems. AccountingCoach was invaluable in that process because it allowed me to step back, ‘get back to basics’, and remind myself of ‘what I do know’. I focused on AccountingCoach's resources on the Accounting Equation and account types, and solved the challenge ahead of schedule. My accountant has on multiple occasions commented on my organized and ‘always balanced’ bookkeeping, and part of that is because I stay on top of my accounting knowledge with the help of AccountingCoach. It's been an invaluable resource that I'll return to for years to come anytime I need to refresh, learn more, or check the currency of my knowledge. People often write off accounting as ‘detail’ or as the ‘not fun’ part of business, but it's important to stay connected to the numbers in your business, and the resources from AccountingCoach help me confidently do that. Once you understand accounting, it's quite enjoyable and satisfying to work with.
I have a BA in accounting and economics, and have passed all four parts of the CPA exam (back when there were still essays required on the exam). However, I have been on a career break for a while due to caretaking responsibilities for aging and ailing parents, as well as becoming a mom and raising our son. I was studying for a civil service exam and felt I needed some refresher pointers in accounting and bookkeeping. I did a search online, and discovered your AccountingCoach website. I was immediately impressed with how thorough and elegantly organized your site is. I was able to search for any topic in accounting (inventory methods, retained earnings, financial statements, financial ratios, etc.) with ease. I quickly upgraded to PRO, and felt as though I was systematically re-educating myself with the latest in the accounting field. This has been a great benefit to me as I can review and challenge myself with your materials, with the flexibility to suit my schedule, and in hopes of confidently relaunching my career.
My current position is as a CPA. I have utilized many tools from AccountingCoach PRO, both in assisting other professionals to learn and more importantly in my role as an adjunct professor. The materials provided by AccountingCoach are organized by topic and the modules are built on each other, making it a perfect learning—or in my case, teaching—tool. AccountingCoach has saved me hundreds of hours in developing teaching materials, as I use the materials provided to supplement the college textbooks.
I am an accountant, and I would say that AccountingCoach has helped me in my journey through its clear and concise website, which easily teaches the most important accounting concepts in a simple and easy manner. I became a PRO member as the amount of information available to me was well worth the very low subscription fee, and they are always updating it with new features and developments as well. The website has allowed me to grasp accounting concepts in a simple manner, and it is also very easy to track my progress. Overall, I would recommend to anybody interested in accounting to start their journey with AccountingCoach.
As a retiree, I recently took on roles as an advisor, trustee, nominee and/or custodian for a number of family trusts. While my former career as an engineering and management consultant, specialising in—amongst other things—the management of commercial risk on large, privately-funded infrastructure projects, has equipped me with a knowledge of financial matters, it did not leave me with the hands-on knowledge of producing annual accounts as demanded by my new role. My signing up for AccountingCoach quickly solved this problem. With its multiple-learning-resource approach—including clear, non-jargon reliant descriptions, background reference material, videos, worked examples, quizzes, flashcards, and crosswords—I found I was able to learn, without any trauma, the fundamentals of bookkeeping and annual accounts preparation I needed for my new trust consultancy roles. Prior to signing up for AccountingCoach, I had read books on the subject, and had studied accounts prepared by professional accounting firms. None of these other learning experiences, however, have accelerated my learning as much as I experienced with AccountingCoach. Thank you, AccountingCoach, for helping me as you have.
I'm a retired accountant with over 25 years of experience. After retiring, it did not take long for boredom to start creeping in. As time went by, I began to receive offers to perform accounting services, and at first I was excited about the opportunity to keep busy—but then I realized I'm not that bored. After careful consideration I decided to try my hand at small-volume bookkeeping. I was a bit rusty with GAAP, and I did not want to dust off my old accounting textbooks, so I began to look for an online resource for help. I came across AccountingCoach, and as I researched their platform I knew right away this was the right fit for me. This site contains all the GAAP materials that would help knock off the rust. I was even able to download subject materials and related videos for offline referencing. It was worth the investment. As I have gotten reacclimated with GAAP rules with the help of AccountingCoach, I am now able to be selective in the type of bookkeeping clients I take on with confidence (service, inventory, payroll, etc.). Thank you very much, AccountingCoach.
AccountingCoach has truly been a blessing, and has changed my life! I am a small-business owner and accountant. I became a PRO member because I am relatively new to the accounting industry, and the course offers instructions with detailed steps, answering the ‘why’ to all of my accounting questions. I can totally tell that this course was designed by an accountant, which makes it the absolute BEST! The materials are amazing; I can download tons of templates and Excel spreadsheets, view videos, and listen to MP3 audio files. I have really benefited from the materials in a great way. The quizzes build my confidence, while confirming that I am grasping and retaining the information. I love that I can always go back and search for a topic, and it comes right up so I can learn from the resources provided. This course has made me love accounting more than I ever dreamed!
Since attending college (for a non-accounting degree), I have had several careers, starting with accounting/bookkeeping for both small businesses and larger companies. This pathway has led me back to the bookkeeping field, as I seek to further service small businesses. Being a couple of decades away from that bookkeeping experience, I needed to refresh and re-study. When I found the AccountingCoach, I knew it was the professional experience I was looking for. The materials are well written and easy to follow, progressing naturally from subject to subject and from simple concepts through to more advanced financial matters. What I especially like is the multi-pronged approach to teaching, which includes written material, videos, quizzes/tests, and other materials to enhance and confirm your knowledge. All in all, the benefits refresh my existing knowledge and also further that knowledge, allowing me to offer more value to my clients than I thought I would be able to provide. I highly recommend this course of study.
Fresh out of high school, I began working at my family's company (ran by my father), which has been in business for 40+ years. Through the years, I've grown from having basic administrative/receptionist duties to now being the bookkeeper for the company. Everything I have learned about accounting has been through experience and cross-training. Since we are a family business, we had employees in our accounting team that have been with us for 20+ years, and who taught me everything I know! As the years went by, our older staff have retired, handing down the bookkeeping responsibilities to me. I became a PRO user because I wanted to further my knowledge to make sure I fill their shoes with grace, as well as keep the accounting department of my family's business running better than ever! I love everything about the material. I have never come across a website that has such detailed and easy-to-learn courses. Everything on the site is explained so well, making learning not only easy, but fun! The examples used in the courses, the amazing videos, the tests, and the crossword puzzles—everything on this site makes learning so much fun and easy to track. The material on this site has saved me so many headaches! Just when I think I am in a rut, I know I can always depend on AccountingCoach to have the perfect examples and material to walk me through all my accounting needs. I cannot thank Harold enough for creating this site and helping young bookkeepers like me through the intimidating world of accounting!
I got my associate’s degree in accounting, as well as my bachelor's degree. My current job position is Accountant II at an organization that I have been with for over ten years, where I do a little bit of everything accounting-wise. I became a PRO user to supplement my professor's lectures and book-reading assignments while I was going through college. This leads into why I like being a PRO user. The subject matter is much easier to understand than that of my professor and the accounting books. I get to benefit from PRO to this day by looking up subjects that I need to refresh on. For example, I recently started to do bank reconciliations here at work and needed a brush-up, and I found it through the PRO membership.
I have been a financial analyst for many years. I was looking for an affordable online resource to improve my accounting skills, and found AccountingCoach to be the most comprehensive resource for the most reasonable price. The courses have helped me in many areas, but mostly to refresh my memory in things I already knew but didn’t use that often, to learn new things that I don’t typically come across in my daily duties, and to find solutions to specific issues that I come across at work. AccountingCoach has given me more tools to solve issues at work, which has definitely made me more productive.
AccountingCoach has constantly been there for all my accounting needs. Not only have I used it in my job, but also in my personal life. It has saved me hundreds of headaches. When I first stumbled across the course online, I had just started a new job after looking for around 8 months. The information seemed solid and expertly explained. Because of AccountingCoach, I was able to help the owner and became a partner with the startup that had hired me. The startup didn't work out, but I handled all the finances and books for the startup as we learned our way through the tech world. Without AccountingCoach, I would not have been able to keep up with it, and we certainly didn't have the funds to hire someone to do it. All our books, our taxes, and even my personal taxes, have been done greatly and without any IRS hiccups. The material is easy to understand; it's meaty when it needs to be, and simple when it needs simplicity. Now that our startup has stopped due to our personal lives, I am working at a hotel abroad. Once again, I am coming back to AccountingCoach. I really cannot stress enough how good this course is and how much it has helped me.
My current position is as Accountant/Tax Preparer, with 20 years experience. I became a PRO user because I wanted all the information provided by the website to be available to me. The materials are easy to follow, and I like how you can get a certificate as proof of your achievements. Not only do I use the materials for myself, but I also use these to help teach employees that were not previously familiar with the concept.
AccountingCoach is one of the BEST tools to learn (and to refresh) my accounting knowledge. I have a degree in Accounting, and have worked in the field for many years before staying home to raise our children. After they got older, I wanted to get back into the field, but felt my skills were lacking/rusty. AccountingCoach PRO was exactly what I needed to refresh my skills and test my knowledge. All the topics are covered, so if you need more practice in a certain area, it's easy to focus on that. And if you think you are strong in an area, you can jump to the test to find out the truth (whether good and bad). It's a great value for so much material! Love it.
My current job is Director of Gifts and Records. I initially purchased AccountingCoach PRO to renew my skills after being out of the accounting field for a number of years. I became a PRO user to access the quick tests and the flashcards. Rediscovering accounting with AccountingCoach PRO has been a game-changer. After years away, the user-friendly interface, comprehensive curriculum, and flexible learning schedule made it a breeze to renew my skills. The bite-sized lessons, real-world examples, and interactive quizzes kept me engaged, while the accommodating pace fit seamlessly into my busy routine. AccountingCoach PRO exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for its effectiveness and user-centric approach.
I am a medical device manufacturing executive with over 30 years of experience in diverse functions within my industry. I have learned that to be an effective contributor I must have an understanding of the business side of our enterprise, and the language of business is spoken through finance and the many accounting functions that interact to paint a clear picture of our results, efficiency, and effectiveness. I used the website to learn and familiarize myself with day-to-day concepts and knowledge that helps me communicate, understand and deliver results more effectively. It allows me to become a better mentor and leader for my team. I am very appreciative of the easy and accessible material that you present, allowing me to better understand and be comfortable in my role and in conversation with the executive team and peers.
As a small-business owner, I used to live with a fear of the financial unknown. Bookkeeping and taxes were a black box, and my accountant felt like a translator for a language I didn't even know existed. Then I discovered AccountingCoach PRO. It was like turning on a lamp. The clear explanations and interactive exercises helped me understand debits and credits. I could finally review my bookkeeper, dissect my accountant's reports, and tackle my taxes without a time-consuming headache. AccountingCoach PRO has allowed me to gain confidence in my finances, and sleep soundly knowing I'm in control. It's not just about numbers, it's about peace of mind, and that's priceless.
As a senior accountant, the AccountingCoach website has been a game-changer in my professional growth. Becoming a PRO user was a no-brainer to elevate my accounting expertise. The site's simplicity in tutorials, interactive quizzes, and comprehensive lessons is unparalleled. These materials made complex accounting concepts crystal clear, boosting my confidence in discussing intricate financial matters. Furthermore, the provided spreadsheets and study guides have been invaluable aids, both in my professional endeavors and academic pursuits. AccountingCoach isn't just a resource; it's a catalyst that has enabled me to excel further in my career and education.
My current position is as a nanny to my 3 grandkids (my daughter has cancer/chemo), but my usual job position is in accounting. I decided to go back to school in 2016 at 47 years old and get an accounting/finance degree. When I began to struggle with accounting concepts, I would go online and search for answers. After getting several answers that not only answered my questions, but explained concepts in terms that I could understand, I realized that I kept being directed to the same place: AccountingCoach. Once I started exploring the site, I quickly realized that this was exactly where I needed to be. Everything that I was learning, and was yet to learn, was all here in one place! It felt like someone handed me the CliffsNotes guide to accounting, and I immediately signed up for the PRO version. I wish that the writers of all accounting textbooks would write like this. First of all, everything is explained. I stopped that sentence there because that was my biggest frustration with my textbooks, as they never give explanations for why something is done a certain way. Second, it's explained in easy-to-understand terms, like one should do when explaining a new concept to someone. Third, the site is quite extensive. There is so much information, and it's organized in an easy-to-navigate fashion. The topics are listed on the main page, so you can find whatever you need quickly, and there are tons of in-text links so that you can delve deeper if you need to. Last but not least, my favorite part: there are quizzes! I still use these quizzes to check my current knowledge, and to see what I might have forgotten and need to work on. AccountingCoach has been an invaluable tool for me, both during school and whenever I need to know something for my job. I'm not sure I would have graduated with top honors had I not found this site. I think I learned more here than I did there!
I currently work as a bookkeeper for a large financial technology company. I became a PRO user several years ago when I was studying bookkeeping, and I still use the program today. AccountingCoach was strongly recommended by our teacher, and I was happy to find such an affordable resource for continuous learning. The subscription fee was money well spent. I find the materials at AccountingCoach clear, concise, well organized, and easy to refer to. It works well with the way my brain works! I continue to benefit tremendously from AccountingCoach because the materials are learning friendly and geared towards adult continuous learners. Accounting is a perishable skill. On top of that, there's always something new to learn, or to refresh. AccountingCoach makes critical and difficult concepts approachable. As AccountingCoach evolved over the last few years, I've grown with it, and I look forward to its continued evolution. Thanks for making such a great product!
I am extremely grateful to have ‘discovered’ AccountingCoach several years ago—I want to say, 5 years? I had searched online for accessible and affordable opportunities to study bookkeeping and accounting. AccountingCoach popped up, and upon looking thoroughly at the website, I signed up then and there. I am completely satisfied with my learning through this resource. I feel the program provides extremely tangible support to me in my specific jobs, and more generally in this profession. I am currently the sole bookkeeper for a radio station in New Mexico. In the 5 months I've been in the role, I have at times been challenged due to the fact that I hadn't worked much during the pandemic and my accounting skills were set aside for several years. Previously, I have worked in several different industries and have at times done bookkeeping as a contractor. I have needed support from experts from time to time and in certain areas of learning. I successfully completed my study in computer accounting, which focused on GAAP principles and the Peachtree Sage software. I have mostly utilized QuickBooks Desktop. There is much to be happy with learning through AccountingCoach. The materials are excellent—providing vital content in easily-understandable formats. I have taken advantage of video lessons—equally excellent. I appreciate the option to take tests and earn certificates, which provides a fun reinforcement of my learning. I want to emphasize how important it is to be able to access expertise and knowledge at whatever professional juncture one is at. Whether a bookkeeper or an accountant—just starting out, or having worked one's field for years—AccountingCoach offers solid, results-driven learning for all in the full range of circumstances. I would be happy to speak to anyone who is considering embarking on this course of study. I wholeheartedly trust and value AccountingCoach.
I became a PRO user back when I was an accounting student pursuing my bachelor's degree. Accounting is like a whole different language, so I found it difficult to learn in the beginning. As someone who did not have prior accounting knowledge in high school, it would take me a while before I would understand the topics. Then I found AccountingCoach, and it helped me tremendously in really grasping the concepts at my own pace. I also utilized the exams as practice for my actual exams. I found that the most effective way to test one's knowledge is to try it on their own, and the materials on AccountingCoach allowed me to do just that. I graduated Summa Cum Laude and am now an accountant at a local public accounting firm. I am really thankful for the resources provided by AccountingCoach when I was still a student, and I am looking forward to maximizing the benefits with PRO Plus now as a professional!
I do bookkeeping for 2 small businesses. It has been 20 years since getting my degree, and having not gotten back into bookkeeping until 14 years later, I sometimes run into a problem I don't have the answer to, or a process I’ve forgotten... AccountingCoach to the rescue! It really helps with learning/refreshing accrual basis, since my clients all operate on a cash basis. I love the step-by-step process, and who doesn't love receiving a trophy (or certificate) after completing something?!
I am currently an accounts payable specialist for a hospital in my city residence. I became a PRO user years ago because I was looking for a website that could assist in improving my bookkeeping skills, as I wish to eventually open my own business one day. I really like the use of the materials, such as the chapter breakdowns, the summaries I can read over, the quizzes to ensure I learned what I was reading, and so much more. I feel I have greatly benefitted using the materials, as they helped build my confidence in becoming a self-employed bookkeeper in the near future. Thank you for building such a useful tool for learning accounting and bookkeeping; I see you are still #1 Best Overall Voted by Google and most websites.
I retired a few months ago from a law enforcement career in order to spend more time with my family. Leading up to my retirement, I explored different secondary career options that would be stimulating and rewarding, but also give me the flexibility I wanted. I learned about bookkeeping and really developed an interest for it. From the beginning, I saw AccountingCoach and Mr. Averkamp being highly and widely praised. After taking a few courses, I made the decision to become a bookkeeper. I became a PRO user because I believed it was important to keep track of my studies and use as many resources as possible to absorb the information. I like how the material is presented in a variety of ways (reading, video, flashcards) that reinforce my learning. I also feel it is presented at a good level, in a way that makes it fairly easy to understand without oversimplifying it. AccountingCoach has helped me understand proper accounting skills that can be applied regardless of the accounting system or software I use. I think this is great because although there is a lot of software out there that simplifies bookkeeping, I don't think it should be used without having a thorough understanding of the processes and knowing whether it's working properly. I definitely believe AccountingCoach has helped me become a better, more reliable, and more intelligent bookkeeper.
AccountingCoach has been a game-changer for me. I work for a state agency. My CAO recommended your program to me so I could understand the theory behind accounting. I started with the state agency as the AP manager, and am now the accounting supervisor. I handle AP, AR, payroll, and cost accounting. The material your site provides is taped all over my desk to use as reference and for any refreshers I may need during the course of my job. One of my employees is taking a college accounting course, and I directed her to this site. She absolutely loves it. Flashcards, pictures, and quizzes to refer to are great tools. We refer to these frequently. Understanding the accounting cycle and the theory behind accounting has become easier for me because of AccountingCoach.
I work in finance, and my current position is as an accountant. I became a PRO user because I really like the format of your website, and how intuitive it is. The site offers easy search functionality, and explanations of accounting procedures and principles. I also really like the materials provided on the website, as they are presented in a way that's easy for either a beginner, or an advanced person to use and understand. I have benefited for many years from using AccountingCoach. For example, when I need to refer back to a topic or a task, I can find what I am looking for. The instructions are also easy to follow and remember, unlike many other accounting websites that have so much ‘filler jargon’ on them, which makes it hard to get a quick and simple answer when you need it. AccountingCoach, however, gives me the ease of knowing my accounting questions will be answered, and the website also provides some really good step-by-step instructions on how to perform an accounting task.
I received a finance and MIS degree from undergraduate school, and soon thereafter joined a company working in management reporting. I've since held various roles in finance, and now find myself working in investor relations. AccountingCoach and the materials provided give me the tools to understand our financial statements and entry impacts wholeheartedly. This allows me to work alongside my colleagues and provide insightful support. It also allows me to speak with Wall Street and the investment community with confidence. This site has helped me lessen the gaps between my finance-oriented perspective, and the accounting world we live in.
AccountingCoach is a great platform for those looking to enhance their accounting skills. The site is user friendly, and offers relevant certificates covering a wide range of topics, from basic accounting principles to more advanced concepts. It provides clear explanations and examples, making it easy to understand complex accounting principles. The interactive nature of the site, such as the quizzes and practice questions, help reinforce learning. Overall, AccountingCoach is a valuable tool for anyone seeking to improve their accounting knowledge and skills. I highly recommend it.
I am a nonprofit CFO, and I became a PRO user early in my career and while attending university. AccountingCoach is a great value to practitioners, and AccountingCoach PRO is totally worth it. I use the service to stay current on topics, and to research when I am confronted with a new issue. Additionally, the topic explanations and quizzes help to reinforce the lessons; in the past, I used them to prepare me for professional certifications. I have been a PRO member for seven years now. The program has allowed me to advance professionally, and is still a useful service to me!
I'm a women's recovery coach for women healing from sexual betrayal. I chose AccountingCoach PRO to sharpen my accounting skills. I'm the bookkeeper for my husband's private practice as a licensed counsellor, as well as for my own coaching practice. I've done all the bookkeeping for any business endeavors we've had, and have been preparing our taxes for 34 plus years, including some corporate tax forms. I appreciate the layout of the course, the order of each section, and the corresponding lessons. Navigating the sections and lessons is quick and easy. Word searches and scrambles, flashcards, crossword puzzles, and more all aid with memorizing the terms. It's comparable to having hands-on interaction with the glossary instead of straight reading and memorizing. Before I became a PRO user, I filled out the contact form, asking if I would benefit from the course since I'm in Canada. I received a quick response and decided to become a member. The course is much more thorough than I expected. AccountingCoach PRO has increased my confidence in my bookkeeping. I now understand our bookkeeping needs better. It also saves time and money when I access professional accounting services, because I can ask specific questions and use the same language they do. I enjoy the clearer comprehension of the answers. Thank you, AccountingCoach!
AccountingCoach PRO is Amazing! I work in the logistics and freight industry, but I do not have an accounting role. I became interested in learning accounting when I started a side hustle and needed to use an online bookkeeping app. I had never taken an accounting class in school, so I needed to learn bookkeeping at my own pace and from the comfort of my home. I am thankful that I found AccountingCoach PRO through an internet search. It has taught me all the basics of accounting, and more! The content is easy to follow, interesting, and thorough. I would recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn accounting in a logical and effective way. I now feel confident in my knowledge of accounting and bookkeeping! Thank you, AccountingCoach PRO!
I am currently working as a merchandiser at a major wholesale chain. I don't have any formal college education at all, so I do my best to proceed with self-learning. I became a PRO user to teach myself the basics of accounting. I knew this would be a great skill if I decided to branch away from my current job and start my own business. It's also helpful in my overall pursuit of knowledge, and in everyday conversation to know the basics of a balance sheet. I appreciate AccountingCoach’s step-by-step method for learning, as well as being able to reference the material as needed throughout my journey. I have not completed the course yet, but so far I am more aware of how a balance sheet is constructed, and the types of basic transactions used in business.
I am a master tax advisor, offering a bookkeeping service in my business. I became a user of AccountingCoach so that I could stay up to date and accurate in my knowledge to best serve my clients. The materials are easy to understand and offer many ways to learn, helping me understand and use the information I study. I have been able to help my clients with accurate accounting and bookkeeping services, which I would have not been able to do without your services.
I found myself in need of reviewing many topics in accounting and accounting principles used in the US. I looked into many accounting courses, but I found AccountingCoach to be the best and most reliable accounting resource ever! I like it because it is very well organized and user friendly. I was able to easily find the topics I needed and understand perfectly what was required, as the material provides thorough and detailed explanations with examples and practice quizzes to test your knowledge at the end of each topic. I love that it covers all the information needed in accounting and finance, with hints and reasonable financial analysis when it comes to financial ratio studies that would interest anyone working in those industries. I am really grateful to have AccountingCoach! Thank you, professional gentlemen, for creating such a great and trustworthy source of accounting information. It has made my life easier! I highly recommend it to everyone in the field.
I've been running a grocery retail business for about five years. Our grocery business had turned out to be very successful, and after three years, we were making about eight thousand transactions on a daily basis. I have an engineering background, with no prior experience in business. I soon found out that without at least intermediate accounting knowledge, I wouldn't be able to manage (though I learned a lot of accounting concepts by myself, and while working) and make sound business decisions. I had to work almost 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, so I didn't have any time to take accounting classes or read financial books, and couldn't afford private classes either. While searching for accounting concepts, I found your website, and although it wasn't easy for me due to it being in English and having some differences between technical details, your straightforward and practical teaching approach was really what I needed. (And I am so grateful for that.) Purchasing a PRO subscription was mostly a way of expressing my appreciation and support, as the extra features provided by the PRO version were not a big deal for me. The materials start from the very basic concepts, and are easy to understand, with no unnecessary and complex issues. The website is generous in providing free materials, and teaches them in a very fast and straightforward approach. Thanks to the materials, I now feel comfortable navigating through our accounting reports, and am able to analyze our business and every move and decision that we make from a financial point of view.
I was hired six years ago as an office clerk for a mid-sized company that builds and services swimming pools, and have since grown into the role of AP/AR Manager. When I graduated in 2012 with a BS in business administration, I had only taken basic accounting courses and had gotten rusty on the fundamentals. AccountingCoach has been a fantastic way to refamiliarize myself with the accounting process, so that I feel much more confident discussing financials with our upper management. It's even allowed me to catch some major errors in our balance sheet, which my predecessor did not understand enough to notice! The written overviews are fairly easy to follow, and the supplemental quizzes and crossword puzzles help to make the information stick in a way that I've had difficulty achieving in the past. I've recommended AccountingCoach to some of my coworkers, and I've used it to help explain some core principles of accounting to our VP of Operations as well!
I started a new position in accounting two years ago, handling accounts payable for a non-profit. It is my first accounting position. During our accounting meetings I frequently felt lost, as it seemed the other members of the team were speaking a different language. I wanted to learn the language, so in January 2023, I began working on my second degree; this time, majoring in accounting. My manager, who has been very supportive, recommended AccountingCoach as a learning resource to assist with classes. She said she had used the materials when she worked on her degree. I appreciate the layout of the material. The lessons are straightforward and are presented in small ‘bites’, which are easier for me to absorb as opposed to my textbook. Currently, I am maintaining a ‘B’ average in my classes, and I know I have AccountingCoach to thank for that. I am looking forward to learning cost accounting next semester with the assistance of your wonderful site.
As a seasoned accounting/auditing professional in a dynamic corporate environment, I rely on AccountingCoach as an invaluable resource to refresh my understanding on important accounting matters and stay ahead in my field. Becoming a PRO user was a no-brainer; the comprehensive materials cater perfectly to my professional needs. The clear explanations, real-world examples, and interactive quizzes have significantly enhanced my understanding of complex accounting concepts. This platform has not only helped me excel in my current role but has also empowered me with the knowledge and confidence to take on new challenges. I have referred several others to the AccountingCoach platform over the years. Kudos to AccountingCoach for being my go-to resource!
I currently work in financial accounting as a software architect, where I used all the concepts taught in AccountingCoach, which nailed the basics very well. The PRO membership offers the accounting content in a systematic, logical, step-by-step approach, with a quiz at the end of each chapter that enables us to validate the concepts we learn. I like the categorization of the entire content into 3 classes: ‘Bookkeeping’, ‘Financial’, and ‘Managerial’. I enjoy the excellent, practical approach to learning accounting concepts, which enables me to apply this knowledge in real-world financial accounting applications and bridge the gaps in what I learnt in college. There are simple and clear explanations of all the accounting concepts, with practical solutions of all day-to-day accounting functions such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory, assets, and GL. I appreciate the value I received for my money. PRO offered me the best way to enhance my career, with a request that users have to be completely focused to learn all the concepts. My career has progressed tremendously as I learnt all the modules of ERP software using the PRO membership. I am planning to be a teacher, and will use the website as a potential tool that all students can use if they are interested. Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch—the two best stock market gurus—have said that accounting is the ‘Language of Business’. If one learns all the concepts with the website, then we can certainly be strong in accounting fundamentals, which is more than enough to have a successful career and make good returns as an investor. Thank you, Professor, for creating such a great website. I will be your lifetime member and will recommend it to all my friends and relatives, as your website can immensely benefit all aspiring accounting professionals, and I hope your team can promote it to various corporations and community colleges so that they can become members.
I have been a principal project manager for 18 years. Currently, I am doing my dual master’s (MBA and MS in Leadership). I needed additional help for my accounting and finance classes, and that is when I came across your website. The topics are well organized and packed with tons of resources and examples. Each topic is taught through various methods, such as explanations, practice quizzes, flashcards, crosswords puzzles, cheat sheets, and tests. There is no way one cannot learn after being taught each concept in so many different ways. I used AccountingCoach’s material to understand and excel at accounting and financing concepts. I have recommended your website to all students in my class, and cited it on many of my assignments and homework.
I work as an accounting associate at a lab supply company. I was introduced to AccountingCoach by a good friend of mine, who gifted me the PRO membership as I was trying to get into the accounting field after moving to the USA. There are many reasons why I love AccountingCoach. The material is very thorough and the explanations are clear. I like all the different ways you can practice what you've just learned (crosswords, quizzes, etc.). You can keep track of your progress, as well as skip a topic if you already know it. Even though I have an accounting background, I have been able to review some topics that I had forgotten and learn concepts that are new to me. I can do that in a fun and entertaining way with AccountingCoach.
I am currently a staff accountant (following a career change) with a B.S. in accounting, and MBA. I have 20 years of experience in the retail industry, and 10 years in the accounting industry across diverse sub-industries, e.g. government, digital media, non-profit, etc. I became a PRO user to increase my knowledge via continuing education, become a more valuable employee for current and future employers, and to use the information provided to assist with studying for the two-part CMA exam in 2024. I like the comprehensive nature of the materials, such as the explanation, quizzes, and various other creative tactics to facilitate learning, e.g. flashcards, word puzzles, and crossword. I have benefitted from your materials primarily through additional hard-skill learning and retention. The 30+ categories presented are very well rounded and detailed, which is so useful for individuals hoping to accelerate their learning path.
I am the owner of a small bookkeeping/tax firm, and stumbled across AccountingCoach several years ago. I immediately recognized its value and became a PRO user. I must say, I find this software is excellent for learning and great for when you need a refresher on a specific accounting topic. The explanations are clear and concise. I also like that you can choose the learning method that works best for you—the site offers video training, flashcards, PDF/cheat sheets, and quick tests. Additionally, at the PRO level, it offers 10 accounting and bookkeeping certificates. I highly recommend AccountingCoach PRO to anyone in the field as a valuable resource, whether you are just starting or are a seasoned professional.
I have a small bookkeeping company. Being a PRO user on AccountingCoach has been transformative for my bookkeeping and accounting skills. The comprehensive lessons and interactive quizzes provide a structured learning experience, demystifying complex accounting concepts. The clear explanations, coupled with real-world examples, have significantly improved my proficiency in my business. The platform's intuitive interface enhances accessibility, allowing me to seamlessly navigate through various topics. The PRO features, including in-depth Q&A sessions and additional resources, ensure I stay ahead in my financial endeavors. AccountingCoach is an indispensable tool for anyone seeking a profound grasp of accounting principles, and its PRO membership is worth every penny for the enriched learning journey.
Although in the past, as well as currently, I have not had a lot of time to visit the site or complete any certifications, I still found your program to be most helpful with my questions. I also still have plans to one day be able to visit more frequently and actually spend more time on the site’s very useful features. My full-time job is Office Manager in an office of 9. I wear many hats, and find this a challenging and rewarding career. There are many times that an accounting question comes up, and it is very helpful to be able to find an answer at a place I trust. My part-time job is bookkeeping and payroll for a small business in my local area. This is also a challenging and rewarding position. I have often considered making the move to full-time independent bookkeeping, however, there is little time left in my day. I also do tax returns for family and friends during tax season. I became a PRO user a few years ago when I realized what a valuable site this was, after finding many of my questions answered here. Again, I hope to one day further my knowledge and expertise, and I plan to do this with AccountingCoach because of the vast amount of knowledge, ease of use of the site and material, and the opportunity to keep learning and advancing. I appreciate the opportunity to share my journey with you, and to remain a solid supporter and life-long learner.
I have a BA (Hons) degree in accounting and a finalist CMA. I have 25 years of experience in accounting, and have worked both in the public and private sector. My current role is Accounting Manager for a multimillion-dollar company. The free version of AccountingCoach is just a sample of the PRO membership, so upgrading really is a worthwhile purchase. I love coming on this website periodically to test and refresh my knowledge, especially on areas that I don't encounter on a daily basis in my role. The site is easy to navigate and the material is outstanding, for individuals with any level of accounting knowledge. Each topic is broken down, with easy-to-follow examples. I have recommended this site to lots of people, as it really is a great resource for a really affordable price!
I am currently the accounting manager at a telecommunications company, and becoming a PRO user has been a game-changer for me. The materials provided by this platform are unparalleled in quality and relevance. The depth of knowledge and practical insights have significantly enhanced my skills, directly impacting my performance in managing financial operations. The platform's resources are tailored to my role as well as other people in my department, making complex concepts easily digestible. The investment in a PRO membership has proven invaluable, propelling my professional growth and contributing to my success in the dynamic field of accounting.
AccountingCoach has helped get me hired. I signed up with AccountingCoach to refamiliarize myself with basic accounting/bookkeeping jargon and concepts to land a great position in a financial firm after being away from an accounting role for 35 years. The bookkeeping videos got me back up to speed in one day and helped me not only pass a skills test, but also labeled my efforts as proficient. Now, after being in my new role for 2 months, it's time for me to continue the courses to improve my overall knowledge and stabilize the value of my participation on the team. The videos hold my ADHD attention and the quizzes reinforce the material well. Thank you, AccountingCoach, for getting me where I needed to be.
I am currently managing a family business in Thailand, which mainly concerns the import and export of frozen seafood. I became a PRO user after going through the first few chapters and finding the material to be comprehensive, answering all the questions I had as I read along and even the ones I didn't know I had. I like how detailed the material is, while still being digestible and not too time consuming. The examples later on encourage me to think about each problem as an accountant would based on what I've learnt. Since reading the first 10 chapters, I now already have an easier time making sense of financial statements issued within the company, to the point where I was able to help my accountant make decisions about how we should manage certain situations regarding intricacies of the factory. I wanted to thank AccountingCoach and the team responsible for putting this great content together as it has had a very positive impact on my life and career, and helped me make decisions with more competency and confidence.
I'm a software engineer working on an accounting software that automates revenue recognition. I often need to understand how a particular accounting concept works then get it implemented in code. I don't quite remember how I became a PRO user. Maybe I wanted to access the questions to test my understanding. I also found that this might be the most easy-to-understand but also informative accounting tutorials on the internet. It helped me successfully ramp up in my role and be able to talk to accountants. I haven't finished all the materials yet; I often just log in, search for a specific concept and digest it. It's been pretty useful so far, and I appreciate the resources!
I am currently working as a financial consultant, providing financial advice and guidance to clients. I became a PRO user after I came across your website while searching for accounting materials. The website seemed to offer helpful resources that could enhance my knowledge in the field. I really appreciate the comprehensive nature of your materials. They cover a wide range of topics and provide in-depth explanations, making it easy for me to review and understand complex concepts. Your materials have been incredibly beneficial in helping me review my knowledge. They have allowed me to deepen my understanding of various accounting principles and techniques, which in turn has improved my ability to provide accurate and valuable advice to my clients.
In 2020, I found myself having free time to learn new skills for new job opportunities, and I had had an interest in becoming a bookkeeper for many years. I found AccountingCoach and really liked the platform and how the lessons were taught in an easy-to-understand format. I started with a free account, but after a few months of consistent studying, I opted for the PRO account because I wanted to support the site. A wealth of knowledge was being provided for absolutely no cost to the user, and I really appreciated having access to material that provides a deep understanding of basic accounting principles and a strong foundation to build on for the more advanced accounting practices in the future. After studying the material on AccountingCoach for about 7 months, I received my bookkeeping certification through NACPB. I became a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and I was offered multiple job opportunities with a well-known hiring agency. Over time, I progressed into the insurance industry, where I currently work as an adjuster for insurance claims.
I work in mental health as a federal grants management specialist, and work with budgets on a daily basis. I became a PRO user to learn more about accounting in order to be able to understand what our finance team does with those budgets, with regards to spending and our income statements. I also became a PRO member to eventually further my career as having both accounting and grants experience. I was also hoping to pass all the bookkeeper training with hopes to make money on the side as a bookkeeper. I like that there are different ways to learn from your materials. There are both visuals and audio, and puzzles to make it more interesting. The material is repetitive, to make sure I really learn. I have only benefited in a small way at this time, as I have not made it very far in the material yet, and need more time to do so. But I can say that I understand our finance meetings and the accounting lingo much better, and it’s always nice to know what your coworkers are talking about!
English is my second language, and my background is in bookkeeping. When I moved to Canada, I started to improve my English skills. However, my biggest challenge was in my job, because in order to work, you need to know about the terminology of your career. That's why I decided to study bookkeeping in college, but I faced some issues like timing, transportation, and cost. One day, I stumbled upon a website on the internet, and I started to explore it with excitement. Eventually, I signed up for this amazing website, and started to learn terminology and much more. Honestly, I learned a lot more in depth. Nowadays, I have started a new business, and I found that this website has given me a good knowledge of the proper language. This is why I can now talk to my accountant more confidently, and of course, I can do my small business's bookkeeping. I haven't completed all the topics yet, unfortunately, as I am too busy. However, this website is the most trustworthy source for learning and practice. I really appreciate Mr. Averkamp and his team.
I have greatly benefited from the site whenever I find I have to refresh my accounting knowledge. I am currently working as Finance Manager, FP&A at a multinational technology company, in charge of quarterly budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and reporting. With frequent reference to a site like AccountingCoach, I find I can keep up with the latest accounting principles which I have applied regularly to my day-to-day work. Additionally, I have used the materials to train new team members on the basic accounting processes. I am looking forward to the new updated website and to learning new materials every week.
I am currently a self-employed, part-time tax accountant, but also have experience working in a Big Four accounting firm. I became a PRO user when I needed a refresher course on accounting and bookkeeping as I transitioned from corporate to the small-business arena. I find that AccountingCoach’s material is not only thorough but also easy to understand. I use AccountingCoach as a reference guide for when I have to explain accounting concepts to other employees.
I am running my own small business as an executive and business coach. I became a PRO user so I could stay on top of my finances and to assist my clients with setting up systems with their own finances. I appreciate the easy-to-learn and easy-to-follow and implement materials that have been provided. I have benefited from your materials by implementing them in my business for ease of financial systems.
I am thrilled to share my journey with AccountingCoach PRO, a platform that has been a cornerstone in my career transformation from Accountant to Finance Manager, and now Business Applications Manager. I vividly remember the day I was called for an interview that included a critical accounting exam. AccountingCoach was instrumental in helping me revive crucial knowledge, ultimately leading me to outshine other candidates and secure the job. What truly set me apart was the practical assistance from AccountingCoach PRO, particularly the ready-to-use Excel templates that streamlined my work processes. My journey with AccountingCoach didn't stop there. It also played a pivotal role in my career progression from Accountant to Senior Accountant, and eventually in my role as Financial & Administrative Manager. The platform has been invaluable, not only in refining my own skills but also in enabling me to effectively communicate complex financial concepts to junior colleagues, business owners, and non-finance stakeholders. Whenever I encounter a forgotten topic, AccountingCoach is my reliable resource for quick and clear information. The decision to upgrade to the PRO version was a no-brainer. It offered an array of advanced tools like training videos, Excel cheat sheets, comprehensive PDF guides, and flashcards—all of which has significantly enhanced my knowledge and memory retention. Today, as a business applications manager working closely with accounting, finance, data, and ERP teams, I owe a great deal of my success and professional growth to the foundational and ongoing learning supported by AccountingCoach PRO.
I am a small-business owner, so the flexibility of an online resource like AccountingCoach PRO has been invaluable. The information is structured using video tutorials, practical quizzes, and real-world examples that allow for easy comprehension without becoming overwhelming, and have deepened my understanding immensely. The website has boosted my confidence in managing not only my business but also personal finances, and I believe that it's a worthwhile investment for anyone interested in advancing their financial literacy.
Now retired, I have used AccountingCoach in many ways for over 10 years. As a practically self-taught bookkeeping and accounting person, I've relied on AccountingCoach to help me learn and use the various concepts and tools needed to keep accurate financial records. Since a good part of my work life included keeping track of financial transactions, I relied on AccountingCoach to help me through not just the basics, but also to understand the underlying concepts such as FIFO, LIFO, cost accounting, cash flow, and the like. While there are many books out there about finance and bookkeeping, for me, AccountingCoach has been the one to turn to when I needed solid, accurate, and straightforward explanations and answers to the questions I had. While I don't recall how I first came upon AccountingCoach, I'm glad I did and am happy to see an improved version. I'm sure it will make things even better for those of us who rely on it.
As a seasoned bookkeeper and business owner with over 30 years of experience, I can confidently say that becoming a PRO user on the AccountingCoach website has transformed my approach to accounting. The materials offer unparalleled depth and clarity, perfectly aligning with my professional needs. The decision to upgrade was motivated by a quest for comprehensive resources, and the website has surpassed my expectations. The engaging content and practical examples have not only streamlined my workflow but also enriched my skill set, making intricate concepts more accessible. For anyone serious about excelling in accounting, this investment is truly worthwhile.
I currently have my own business and am also a bookkeeper for small businesses in my local area. I became a PRO user because it was an economical way to stay up to date and learn new accounting practices. I like that AccountingCoach’s materials are very thorough and easy to work through. Being very mathematically minded, I appreciate the organized flow of information. I have benefited by being able to better serve my clients using the information I have acquired. Thank you for doing what you do, and for continuing to improve upon it!
I currently work as an accounting assistant for a municipality. I became a PRO user before I decided to make a career change in my 30s, and go back to school for accounting. I like how the material progresses, and there are chances to test your knowledge as you progress through it. I worked through some of the material before I started taking accounting classes, and I believe that this really helped me do well once I started taking the college courses. I have gone back to AccountingCoach throughout my time in college to help me understand concepts that I struggled with.
I am thrilled to share my experience with the AccountingCoach PRO subscription. I bought the subscription when trying to learn bookkeeping, as I wanted access to the video series. The videos are not only well structured but also easy to follow, making complex accounting concepts accessible to anyone, regardless of their prior knowledge. The instructor is knowledgeable and engaging. I'm really pleased with the value that I got out of this purchase. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I have gained a solid foundation in bookkeeping, and it has greatly improved my confidence in managing the financial aspects of my business. I highly recommend the PRO subscription to anyone looking to sharpen their accounting skills or to embark on a career in finance. It's an invaluable resource that's worth every penny.
My current position is Accounting Clerk at a federally-qualified health center,, and though I've been with them for almost a month now, I would like to rise up in the ranks within the accounting or finance department. I became a PRO user over a decade ago, because though I have an accounting degree from college, I wanted to brush up on my accounting skills for a potential job like the one I have now. What I like about the AccountingCoach site is virtually everything, from examples to demonstrations to video lectures. These tools are very beneficial and helpful, and have been that way in both my current and previous positions. I would strongly recommend those in the field to use AccountingCoach as a wonderful and educational tool to invest in their accounting skills, even if they graduated in accounting or a related field. My experience with AccountingCoach has been great and beneficial at the same time; it is indeed the most informative accounting-related site I've ever used, out of all the others! Again, I would definitely recommend using AccountingCoach and seeing what it has to offer!
My background includes a hotel management degree, and I also have an accounting diploma. I became a PRO user as my mother tongue is Greek, but I needed to learn accounting terminology in English in order to work in the UK. AccountingCoach’s materials are very good, as they explain in plain language what every term means so as to be easily understood by anyone, whether or not they are in accounting. These materials have helped me to learn and understand the matching terms in English so I could get an AAT Level 3 Diploma. Thank you very much for all this useful information, which is updated frequently.
I am an accountant, and have been in this profession since 1989. Learning is a key to success, and this properly applies to AccountingCoach, which will stay with you for life to teach you bits and pieces of accounting. I have been using AccountingCoach for the last 10 years. Every time, it adds something extra to my knowledge base. The best part of this accounting encyclopedia is that it is not just for beginners, but also for professionals who want to update their knowledge. To be an accounting pro, I highly recommend joining the website, as it pays off on the very first day. Thank you, Mr. Harold.
After a long career in banking, I started working for a private home builder in the accounting department. I wanted to have a better understanding of accounting, so I enrolled in the AccountingCoach program. I quickly realized everything I didn't know about accounting and was able to lean on the course’s objectives to help in my daily work. I would highly recommend your website to others who are currently in the field, or who have a desire to work in accounting. I continue to go back and review modules to continue to solve questions that come up!
I am self-employed, a co-owner of a furniture store since 2018. I also have a second small business on my own. Originally, I had absolutely no knowledge about accounting and bookkeeping. I searched the internet for some free information that seemed accurate and comprehensive, and came across AccountingCoach. After using the free version for a while, I was so impressed that I decided to purchase the PRO version. I appreciate the website’s comprehensive nature, dealing in a wide variety of issues. I really appreciate the double-entry method of bookkeeping. The flashcards were also especially helpful for me. Based on what I learned from the materials, I can now keep accurate financial records... and know that they are accurate. My tax accountant really appreciates the fact that I can provide an accurate one-page summary of all the necessary information, as well as provide all the supporting data in an organized manner—it makes her job much easier.
Currently, I have taken a job in the Internal Audit department of a county in Texas. Before that, I was a staff accountant at a mental health facility. I became a PRO member years ago so that I could learn key accounting skills at my own pace. Even though I have a degree in accounting, learning through school allows for some key concepts to be missed. With a PRO account, I can go over all of those concepts at a pace that is more conducive to my retention of the information. The materials are clear and concise, yet in depth. The quizzes, crosswords, and word scrambles are my favorite parts of the experience, to be honest. Being able to test yourself in a variety of ways is fantastic. The materials are what helped me to progress in my career at this point, and I will forever be grateful for that.
As Senior Finance Manager and Intermediate Financial Modeler, I needed a refresher course in accounting that would make learning fun, but that would also be in depth. After looking at various online classes, I discovered AccountingCoach and found that the mix of detailed learning material, along with the structure of the materials, fit my needs. The puzzles, videos, and accounting techniques supported my learning style and my schedule. Additionally, the ease of mobile studying allowed me to be able to learn on the go. It is a great tool for anyone who needs to learn accounting from the beginner level, or a professional like myself, who needs to keep abreast of new accounting concepts. I continually return to the course to learn something new.
I'm the accounting manager at a business advisory firm.. I subscribed to AccountingCoach because I moved from Mexico and needed a platform that could show me accounting concepts in English. I loved the way the site is structured, as it allowed me to study and practice accounting concepts to retake my career. AccountingCoach gave me the confidence to apply to jobs and speak in a professional manner. Thanks for all the time dedicated to creating this site and all the topics that have been incorporated.
I had subscribed to your materials a while ago with the intention of teaching myself better accounting skills. I was never an accountant by trade, but found the need for learning more and more important. I had to close my business due to family health reasons, and move back to PA. I took a job with a similar organization but was let go after one year. I have not even filed for unemployment yet, as my mother has fallen to dementia, and it has been a full-time job finding a place for her care. I’ve always kept logging on to your site in the hopes of one day sitting down and getting myself educated. Only now, in the next few months, will I finally find it possible. I'm hoping to reeducate myself and find a position more in the accounting field. I could really use a break. Your materials and design appear top notch, and I would certainly like the opportunity to actually use them soon.
Thank you AccountingCoach, you have helped me over the last 8 years of study and guided me to my dream job of becoming an accountant. It has been a pivotal part of my career. AccountingCoach has had my back in many situations, and has helped me to understand accounting at my pace. I am now a financial/management accountant for one of west Australia’s largest heavy engineering companies. I will continue to use AccountingCoach throughout my career for continued learning and personal growth. I highly recommend AccountingCoach to anyone studying or already in the accounting industry. I, personally, will always be a member. Thank you team AccountingCoach, I wouldn't be where I am today without you.
AccountingCoach is a great resource! You're introduced to the basics in the beginning, and it ramps up nicely from there. You have access to quizzes throughout the topics, which will make you think and apply what you've learned. You can hop back and forth to any section and learn at your own pace. Best of all, you have lifetime access. Whether you need a refresher on one topic, or your current role is expanding to a new area of accounting, AccountingCoach will have what you need to achieve what you're after. It's a great investment, and a bargain for what it delivers!

Our team has benefited from their memberships by upleveling their accrual-based skills and reinforcing the foundational knowledge for consistency and value to our clients.
I have a degree in computer science, and have worked as a software engineer for over 15 years. I had a lot of gaps in my business knowledge, and AccountingCoach PRO has been a great help in remediating those. The lessons are concise and easy to complete in a reasonable amount of time, and progress is easy to track. I now have a better understanding of accounting, which makes it easier for me, as someone in a technical role, to interact with project stakeholders and understand project requirements.
AccountingCoach was a huge help to me while going through my MBA program. Accounting can be an intimidating subject to many. I've worked in the education field in the past, so I understand the importance of displaying information in a way that helps the learner stay engaged. This tool made challenging concepts more understandable. The lessons were broken down into a simple layout and the interface was easy to navigate. I have recommended AccountingCoach to several of my friends. Thank you AccountingCoach for continuing to enhance your content!
I found AccountingCoach when I was just starting out as an entry-level accounting assistant. I had been through several college courses but still felt very lost in my first role. I found AccountingCoach by looking online for affordable training options. It was a massive reason I felt confident enough to continue my path towards new responsibilities and growth. I am now a fractional CFO, and when I come across something that I need a quick refresher on, I can still rely on AccountingCoach. It is a simple and intuitive way to understand accounting. I put all of my new employees on AccountingCoach their first week so they have the opportunity to utilize the resources and grow, too.
I am delighted to share my experience as a user of AccountingCoach. As an accountant in healthcare with a diverse background in mathematics, software engineering, dietetics, and also healthcare, I found AccountingCoach to be an invaluable resource. The materials are expertly crafted, breaking down complex accounting concepts into easily-understandable terms. The repetition of key concepts and engaging crossword puzzles not only made learning enjoyable but significantly enhanced my retention. This platform has empowered me to communicate confidently with colleagues and leaders, bridging the gap between my non-accounting background and the intricacies of my current role. AccountingCoach is truly a game-changer for professionals seeking to upskill without the need for extensive formal education.
I currently hold the position of Environmental, Health, and Safety Specialist. I became a PRO user because while pursuing my degree in paralegal studies, I was required to take classes in accounting. My online class was completely self-taught, and I found myself struggling to understand the concepts as they were presented in the textbook. When I looked for online help, I found AccountingCoach. Becoming a PRO user allowed me to access lessons that made understanding my classes so much easier. I like that the lessons walk you through the concepts of accounting and are very clear to understand. They don't throw too much at you at one time; they make it easy for you to grasp one lesson before moving on to the next. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I was able to complete my accounting classes and graduate with my degree. Since then, I have become responsible for the finances of my team, and everything I have learned allows me to work with our finance department each quarter to review our books.
I am the co-owner of a small-business accounting firm, and I found AccountingCoach when researching training for our staff who do both taxes and bookkeeping. I love the format and how comprehensive the topic categories are. I love the different games and tests you can do to help your staff learn and to test their knowledge. We're implementing a new type of system for employee bonuses based on skills, and I plan to utilize this website to test skills for advancement. We also use these tests to screen potential candidates for job openings at our company. I think it's a great website!
I am an office manager and business owner. I have found AccountingCoach to be a great help. My main reason for using AccountingCoach is because I am really good at my work, teaching people to fly. So now, I have a business, and QuickBooks Online has made bookkeeping easier. However, to run a business, one needs to know what's going on with the money. AccountingCoach has given me the skills I need to get my books in order for my accountant. I also know more about what my accountant is doing and am better prepared to make decisions. Being a PRO user gives me access to all the courses I need. I like the format because it's easy to use and lets me skip around to the subject areas I need. AccountingCoach shows me where to find foundational knowledge required to understand the topic I'm learning. I was also able to add another team member easily so that they had access to all the topics as well. Thank you, AccountingCoach.
Currently working as a finance officer leading a small finance team, and entrusted with accounting responsibilities, your platform has been an invaluable resource throughout this career development. The in-depth structure of your materials, coupled with seamless cloud-based accessibility, has aided my understanding of intricate accounting functions. Becoming a PRO user was a natural choice to gain comprehensive insights into complex financial scenarios and descriptions—especially when relocating to an English-speaking country and needing to understand the professional terminology—while getting lifetime access. Your site's practice-oriented approach has significantly bolstered my practical expertise, particularly at the beginning of my journey, allowing me to navigate nuanced accounting tasks with confidence. The constant online access has been a game-changer in refining my accounting skills.
I have been a legal English teacher for over 20 years. As my clients specialise in commercial law, they use a wider variety of professional terminology, including financial and accounting terms. I have become a PRO user to expand my knowledge of accounting. I have benefited a lot from the materials on the website. The content is super clear, of high quality, and to the point. Using AccountingCoach, I have gained greater confidence when designing lesson plans and structuring conversations around the accounting and financial topics.
As a new-to-accounting secretary of a small nonprofit organization, I needed help to do the job I am responsible for. AccountingCoach was my chosen method of educating myself with the basics (and more) to help gain confidence and understanding in my role. I found the materials clear to comprehend, and found that they built upon each lesson in a way that supported my grasp of accounting methods and terms. I enjoyed the bit of fun in the tests, and looked forward to completing each milestone. From the start of my ‘training’ and until this day, I review the materials when I'm not sure of a certain term or procedure that arises. I expect to return to more lessons to expand what I have learned, and stay on top of my learning. AccountingCoach is just what I needed!
I have worked as a CFO/controller in the construction industry for 18 years now. I became a PRO user to be able to refresh my skills and use the site as reference for things I have learned and forgotten. AccountingCoach is written in a way that simply explains complex subjects, especially ones I don't use often. I would recommend these materials to any accounting student or professional, as a resource to keep current and answer the odd question on a subject where you need a refresher.
AccountingCoach has helped so much with my work as a payroll maker in our company. I am a part-time payroll preparer and part-time patient therapy coordinator. New issuances in the website allow me to receive accounting updates and keep my bookkeeping and accounting knowledge updated. I always look forward to messages for new releases that could be applied to my present work. I even encouraged others to join and enroll in the site for their advancement.
I own a bookkeeping firm that services all industries from advertising/marketing firms, to construction, to agriculture. I reconcile accounts, process payroll, and run monthly financial reports for my customers' businesses. Once in a while, I come across some accounting challenges and need to understand best practices for handling different situations. I can easily access the answers to these questions through my subscription to AccountingCoach. I appreciate the ease of use and the depth of information that I can get by accessing AccountingCoach. It is well worth the small investment. Thanks for providing such a valuable resource.
After running my electrical contracting business for three decades, I attribute a significant portion of my financial acumen to the invaluable training provided by AccountingCoach. This premier site has been my go-to resource for accounting education, offering an extensive and comprehensible curriculum. What sets the PRO membership apart is its depth and breadth, providing advanced insights that are directly applicable to my business. The excellent explanations and materials on the site demystify complex accounting concepts, making them accessible and relevant to my industry. This program has not only fortified my understanding of financial intricacies but has also empowered me to make informed decisions, contributing substantially to the success and longevity of my business. AccountingCoach has been an indispensable companion throughout my entrepreneurial journey, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a robust foundation in accounting.
I am currently employed as a commercial analyst in a media agency. I became a PRO user because I needed a self-paced accounting course that had depth, with good explanations and good examples. I do not at all regret this purchase and have even recommended it to a few of my friends. I now understand so many basic concepts that my university courses didn't explain that well, and there are also many complicated concepts that are explained very easily. Hands down, the best course I have ever purchased; and I have taken a lot of courses on other platforms. The course has helped me understand the core of accounting, and then some. I am a good analyst because of this course.
When I finally retired from working full time, I found that I still wanted to keep occupied. I hadn't practiced accounting for a long time, but was once pretty knowledgeable. I had previously been a controller for a major construction company. I had also been a financial analyst for a major corporation, became a systems analyst, and wrote programs to perform financial forecast and budget-control functions. Then, I got bit by the entrepreneurial bug and moved on to other endeavors. My accounting background was always in play as a guide to my decision making, but I wasn't practicing accounting per se. Forty years went by. I investigated online accounting gigs and found some quite interesting. As I read the terminology incorporated in some of the function descriptions, I quickly came to realize that I had forgotten a great deal! In dire need of a refresher course, I found AccountingCoach and signed up. Through my study period, I began to get up to date in many areas. Eventually I was able to apply for some work with a greater sense of confidence. I ended up, for example, working as the technical accounting editor for Canadian editions of QuickBooks at the university level. None of this would have been possible without my time spent with AccountingCoach.
I have been employed as a bookkeeper and office accounts manager in several small businesses over the years, and am currently a freelance bookkeeper. I first came across AccountingCoach while searching online for answers to queries that came up in the course of my work. Every search led me to AccountingCoach, where I consistently found concise, easy-to-understand answers. Recognizing the reliability of AccountingCoach, I made it my first click in search results, saving valuable time. I became a PRO user to further enhance my bookkeeping skills and broaden my understanding of accounting practices. The comprehensive and well-organized materials offered by AccountingCoach can be followed systematically or explored by specific topics. This resource has proven invaluable, providing insights beyond the scope of my formal bookkeeping qualification.
I am a senior accountant for a general contractor. I have been in construction accounting for almost 25 years. I became a PRO user because I wanted to make sure I had the unlimited potential to challenge myself with the plethora of teachings and goals found in AccountingCoach PRO. I like how easy it is to use, and how it is user friendly when stopping and picking up where you left off. I also enjoy the real-life situations that bring everything you have learned to life. AccountingCoach has expanded my knowledge on income statements and balance-sheet reading. I have also learned much more than I could have expected, from financial ratios, to the difference in all types of journal entries used on an everyday basis.
I am Vice President/CFO of a small wholesaling business. I was thrust into this position unexpectedly due to the untimely death of my predecessor, and had almost no prior instruction other than a few accounting courses in college. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I don't have to email my accountant for every little thing. I can find most things easily on AccountingCoach. The materials are well organized and easy to understand. AccountingCoach has helped me to understand why things entered the way they are.
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.
I am currently a DSP (Direct Support Professional). I became a PRO user because I was looking for knowledge and certificates to help me start a bookkeeper or accountant career. What I like about the material is the simplicity and the easy way Mr. Averkamp presents different accounting concepts. I truly benefited from the different material on AccountingCoach, and I was able to complete 5 certificates out of the 10. I will go back to it and complete the 5 remaining. Thank you very much for this useful tool to learn about accounting, and thank you in advance for upgrading my account.
Three years ago, I was lured into a job as bookkeeper for three very busy, successful bakery-cafes. As a print-shop graphic designer for the 25 years prior, I had a minimal background in bookkeeping. I needed all the resources I could find! It's been a heck of a ride with what seems like a million Google searches, but my favorite find of all was AccountingCoach PRO! I convinced our owner that the PRO account would minimize my calls to him for help! I haven't found the time to take the quizzes (though I fully intend to!), but I have gained confidence from AccountingCoach's extensive library of downloads and search results.
I am a governmental accountant. I became a PRO user while in college. I found accounting concepts to be new and challenging, and was looking for all the resources I could get my hands on. I really liked the one-time fee that came with lifetime access, and I also found the site material to be extremely helpful and accessible. The accounting concepts are easy to find and understand. The layout of the website is logical and in order, and the content is thorough and excellent. I benefited from the materials in college, and I've also benefited some in my work as a real property accountant dealing with assets under construction. I'm planning on getting my CGFM certification in the near future and will be relying on the AccountingCoach even more for that.
I have been using the AccountingCoach platform for years now, and I have learned so much. Having a background in health sciences hadn't really afforded me the opportunity to learn as much as I would have liked on financial topics. This is why I use AccountingCoach. I help my husband with the bookkeeping in his business, and AccountingCoach got me started from scratch. I learned new concepts in very easily-digestible lessons and immediately applied what I learned on the platform. I upgraded to PRO to have access to all the additional features, which I do find value in. In managing my very small business, AccountingCoach has helped me learn how to navigate my own books. I don't know where else I would have gotten this education for the price. I am someone who consumes as much information as possible, as often as I can, to have the skills and knowledge to navigate daily life. I'm also the type of person who enjoys structure and organization. Though I'm sure the information is available all over the web, chaotic and directionless, AccountingCoach has given the knowledge I've sought out and presented it in a very organized manner. I love it. I revisit on occasion to freshen up my knowledge and practice. I thoroughly enjoy using AccountingCoach.
I started out doing the books for my husband's business for a few years, when I felt confident enough to start working for an accounting firm. I quickly discovered just how much I didn't know! Fortunately, I found AccountingCoach PRO! Thanks to this program, I now have my own bookkeeping business and several clients. Thank you for giving me the tools and skills I needed to start my own bookkeeping business.
I work in public audit. I became a PRO user because I wanted to refresh my accounting knowledge by going through your lessons and quizzes, and to save and track my progress as I go through your website. What I like about your materials is that the bite-sized lessons explain the topics in a simple, straightforward way that's easy to understand. The interface/layout is also user friendly. I have benefited from your materials as they have helped me gain more confidence in my knowledge and skills when it comes to my day-to-day tasks as an auditor.
I'm a small-business owner and a stock picker. AccountingCoach has enabled me to read quarterly financials of the companies I invest in, and helps me to better administer my business. The format of the website is excellent. I can either download the MP3s and listen while driving or working, or utilize the excellent visual modules. AccountingCoach starts with the basics and builds up from there. I have also recommended it to young people, to give them financial literacy early in life. I looked around and this is the best accounting course out there.
I am currently employed as Office Manager. I became a PRO user because I wanted a professional resource to refresh my accounting knowledge. I like the ready access and availability of the quizzes and study materials. Whenever I need a refresher or feel some imposter syndrome, I take a study break on AccountingCoach. It fixes what I'm lacking knowledge in, or reassures me that I know what I'm doing.
Having been a stay-at-home mom for most of my life, and soon to be an empty nester, I decided to do something for myself. My love of numbers brought me to bookkeeping. I started out with another known website, but I wasn't liking how I was being taught, and found myself having to search for more details. That's when I found AccountingCoach. I was amazed at the teaching platform, and quickly realized I needed to ditch the other and come to AccountingCoach. The materials have definitely been giving me more confidence and understanding. I'm enjoying learning!
I am a staff accountant at a small CPA firm in southern California. I previously worked as the accountant for a county probate department for a number of years, and also worked briefly for an oil & gas company. I finished my accounting degree in 2016, but it wasn't long into my career that I realized I didn't know many of the things I should have learned in college. I would often have to google things I should have already learned, and found that I was often directed to AccountingCoach, which answered nearly all my questions. That was when I decided to become a PRO user, and AccountingCoach became my primary tool for supplemental learning. There are tons of topics available and the concepts are taught in an easy-to-understand manner. I especially like the quizzes and the ease of use of the entire program. AccountingCoach has helped me learn many of the things I should have learned in college, and I believe it has directly influenced my professional growth.
My purchase of Harold Averkamp's AccountingCoach PRO service was one of my best career decisions. It is embarrassing to say that my accelerated MBA, focused in accounting, was too brief for becoming an accountant. I began subscribing to different online courses, however, these could not deliver exactly what I needed. My problem was solved with my purchase of AccountingCoach PRO. I am so grateful for the streamlined, organized, and invaluable lifetime service of AccountingCoach PRO. The content is well organized into a learning path and includes cheat sheets for quick references. The content is valuable for both current and aspiring careers in accounting and finance. The PRO membership content is also relevant for payapp developers, business owners, investors, and management consultants. I referenced these cheat sheets before every job interview leading into my accounting career, and I am grateful to say that thanks to this, my most recent role is FP&A Manager. Accounting is complicated and vital for all business activities, and I firmly believe that an AccountingCoach PRO membership is the best way to get started with it.
I am currently a returning adult student studying business and accounting. My Intro to Accounting professor recommended AccountingCoach, and it has been invaluable. I opted to become a PRO user because I knew it would serve me well, not only throughout my schooling but in my career as well. The certificates, flashcards, and practice quizzes are a great way to master and maintain accounting concepts. The site is very user friendly and has all the information I could ever need. A fantastic resource!
I have been doing bookkeeping for over 20 years, mostly for easy clients with no assets. Becoming a PRO user helps me when I occasionally take on a client with a more complex business. With one client in particular, I came across a situation I was not quite sure how to handle. I was able to go to AccountingCoach and quickly resolve my dilemma! The platform is awesome. It is so easy to maneuver around. I love being able to take the ‘Quick Tests’, which are a great refresher. I love the ‘Questions Answered’ portion as well. This is a great program for not only the seasoned bookkeepers, but also for the ones just breaking into the business.
I was employed to do basic bookkeeping at my current company. I knew practically nothing about it. I began to research bookkeeping and I came across AccountingCoach. Their materials were so clear, and contained all the information I needed to get up to speed. The website had stopped my random search on the internet, as AccountingCoach’s materials contained everything I needed for my job. I could also work on it at my own pace. It helped me to perform well at my job. The practice questions really help me understand and retain the knowledge I got from their materials. I also loved the videos, as they were very easy to digest. I still refer to their materials regularly.
I work for an accounting firm as a general ledger accountant. I studied accounting in college, but stepped away for a few years to work in operations management. By becoming an AccountingCoach PRO user and using the materials, I was able to have a great refresher of accounting knowledge, which helps me in my day-to-day work. The materials are very clear and helpful, and I would recommend them to anyone who would like to gain new skills or refresh their memory!
As a commercial employee, I am responsible for the accounting, bookkeeping, and controlling in an international acting-consulting firm. I became a PRO user in order to be able to use the complete offer provided by AccountingCoach, as well as the very extensive explanations. The range of teaching material is extremely extensive, and the subject areas are very well structured and interconnected. Explanations can be read, downloaded, or printed without much effort. The problem is, sometimes you spend a lot more time on the website than you originally planned, because the offer is so interesting. The question should be, how often has your site helped me? And the answer is, very often. Whether with specific questions about individual booking incidents, or to understand a topic or deepen your knowledge of it. Keep it up, and all the best.
I have enjoyed having access to this wealth of information for the past few years. Although I have not taken all of the classes yet, I look forward to doing so in the early part of this coming year. I have looked up answers to my problems and questions as needed, and am grateful for the ability to have this information on hand, and find it easily understandable and extremely helpful! Thank you for this opportunity to grow with you!
I am a partner with a company that provides bookkeeping and taxes for customers. We've been in business for over 30 years. I love being a member of AccountingCoach, and I became a PRO user to take advantage of all the benefits it offers. I use it to educate my staff, keep my skills current, and research if I get stumped. The material is well written, concise, and straight to the point. It doesn't overwhelm with ‘accountant-speak’. The benefits to my self-confidence when dealing with complex accounting issues to help my clients is priceless. AccountingCoach is the expert that is always there and you can count on. I recommend AccountingCoach to all my colleagues.
I operate a private accounting practice on the big island of Hawaii. I am an enrolled agent, and my practice mostly prepares tax returns for sole proprietors and individuals. I also do bookkeeping in QuickBooks and Wave Software for about a dozen clients with various types of operations. I became a PRO user of AccountingCoach to open up more opportunities to enhance my skills. I love that there are video courses supported by flashcards and crosswords to help with comprehension. I have been able to work with clients with more confidence and knowledge thanks to the enrichment I received from the AccountingCoach courses. Thank you, AccountingCoach!
As a Controller with extensive experience in accounting, I can confidently say that AccountingCoach has been an invaluable resource throughout my career. I began using it early on, and it quickly became essential for researching and resolving accounting questions. Recognizing its value, I advocated for our company to purchase the PRO version, which has significantly enhanced its usefulness. We now utilize it as a training resource for our new accounting hires. AccountingCoach continues to provide insightful and relevant information for all levels of accounting expertise.
I joined AccountingCoach years ago. I was entering accounting via the grassroots of bookkeeping. Now, my current position is Controller at a high-end residential construction company. I became a PRO user to assist me in my undergrad classes at university, and to help with the concepts as I was learning the industry. I have enjoyed how well the contents are both laid out and explained. AccountingCoach has always been my first resource to find answers to questions or concepts I need. Thank you, and good luck in the future.
I've been a PRO user for a couple of years now. I had started a small business when I found this course to help me with my money management, as I had tried learning accounting before with small courses but couldn't absorb the information. I gained a great understanding of the terms of the business world, functions of finance, and of how to read financial documents. The finance world is so complex, that even just knowing what's going on can give you a seat at the table. I love math, but I'm not good with legalities, so this course was definitely a great find. It is so immersive, but doesn't feel like reading from a textbook. I really enjoy the crosswords and quizzes because they make it more interactive and fun. Although my small business only lasted a couple of years, I plan on starting a different one soon, and I'm going to go over this course again and really absorb as much as I can so I can apply it moving forward.
I have been preparing tax returns for 9 years. I am also an enrolled agent.. I became a PRO user to refresh my memory of information I gained prior. In the early 1980s, I went to a business school and took two semesters of accounting. Due to my job at the time, I couldn't continue, so when I saw AccountingCoach I thought it would be a good way to refresh my memory. I recently learned QuickBooks, and I am now studying to become a certified QuickBooks Online user. The AccountingCoach materials are easy to understand, and the chapters are not long to the point that they bore you to death reading a ton of pages before you get to do anything. All of the exercises that are included are easy and help you learn the materials. I have been able to help taxpayers who want to start a business with this information. Additionally, taxpayers that already have a business and come in wanting taxes done when they don't keep track of their expenses or income, need help to show them how to keep track of them. I also plan on advertising to do bookkeeping for self-employed individuals.
I am currently working in the accounting department, with the title of Accounts Receivable and Credit Administrator. I became a PRO user to help me in my studies as I went through college to improve my understanding of the accounting system and procedures. This gave me the options to do extra study and testing, which gave me a different view and/or wording of the procedures and such than the school material. The material presented through AccountingCoach PRO was very user friendly and easy to understand. I have benefitted by using this throughout school for my accounting certification, and after by having the material for reference as I have been in the workforce. I started out doing accounts payable, and this has helped me rise through the company doing what I am doing now.
I want to express my sincere gratitude for the pivotal role AccountingCoach played in my journey towards securing a position in accounting. As a dedicated user, I relied on the platform to prepare for the role and refresh my studies. I am currently serving in the accounting field, and AccountingCoach played a crucial role in my success. The decision to become a PRO user was strategic, given the tailored nature of the materials. The platform's comprehensive content proved instrumental in acing the accounting exam, and has continued to be an invaluable resource in my daily responsibilities. I am delighted to share that not only did I pass the exam for the position I applied for, but I have also excelled in the role over the past few years, all thanks to the invaluable resources provided by AccountingCoach. I appreciate the opportunity to share my positive experience, and I look forward to continued success with your exceptional resources. Thank you, AccountingCoach, for being an integral part of my professional journey.
I am a principal for my own company. In addition, I also serve as an executive director for a community-development financial institution in the Mid-Atlantic region. I became a PRO user because I wanted to deepen my understanding of accounting concepts. I also wanted to be able to engage more effectively with financial counterparties at my job, and to be able to more effectively budget, forecast, and deepen my understanding of corporate finance. I like the materials because they are relevant, easily accessible, and organized in such a way that even a novice can benefit from walking through them in a stepwise manner. When I first learned of AccountingCoach, I was a business analyst. Through leveraging the concepts via the AccountingCoach website, I was able to parlay my financial acumen into a deeper understanding of financial concepts, which assisted me in being promoted to management, and eventually gave me the confidence to step out and found my own company. I highly recommend the tools, and I'm very thankful to Harold Averkamp for putting this content together and continuing to provide it. For anyone considering leveraging the AccountingCoach suite of tools, I highly recommend that you begin—you'll be glad that you did!
I want to thank you for providing AccountingCoach. I was in college studying to be a teacher, and was feeling less passionate about teaching as time passed. If I was going to abandon teaching, what would I pivot to? I took an accounting course and really enjoyed it, but still felt a little intimidated. I started working as an accounting intern and was recently promoted to Accounts Receivable Specialist. One day while researching an accounting topic online, I came across the AccountingCoach website, and loved it. The website has a user-friendly interface, and the materials are presented in a way that is not overly complex. The flow of data is excellent and I have benefited from the site by reviewing the various topics and quickly building skills and confidence. I loved the site so much I decided to become a PRO user. I will also be returning to college to pursue an accounting degree.
I am an IT manager, working on enterprise software implementations in finance and the supply chain domain. I became a PRO user as the detailed informational videos helped me in solidifying my accounting concepts understanding. I like the way you have structured and explained the concepts; it is just great. The kind of examples you provide have also helped a lot. I have developed a deeper understanding that helped in our software implementations. I go back to your site every time I have some confusion about any topic. I will be referring to your site soon to learn more about leased assets and capital-project-related accounting knowledge, hoping that it's already there.
After being a medical biller for many years, I accepted an entry-level position in hospital accounting. With little experience in accounting, I searched for tools that would help me gain more knowledge in the field. AccountingCoach PRO has been awesome! The material is practical and easy to understand, which makes learning fun. I have gained the skills needed to help me excel in my position and enable me to move up in rank within my employment field. Thank you so much.
I have been a member of the AccountingCoach community for well over 10 years. The website is my go-to for accounting questions, solutions to bookkeeping questions, or for solving challenges with closing the books. Additionally, I advise and lead several other organizations and clients. I recommend that management teams, entrepreneurs (sole proprietors), and small-business owners review the AccountingCoach website so they are familiar with accounting policies and terms. This will help each of them better understand their day-to-day business transactions, thus, reducing the chances of fraud or not understanding financial statements. My recommendation is to join AccountingCoach today. It is worth the investment.
I am a multi-business owner, who does bookkeeping as well. I have used AccountingCoach PRO for years whenever I have needed a thoughtful deep dive into a topic. I love this site's approach, and the convenience of having all this information and these resources literally at my fingertips when I need to have a good think about how to approach and solve a problem. I will keep using this resource when needed for many years to come. I’m glad it is here!
I am a recent entrepreneur with my own consulting company as of 2023, and I am also pursuing entrepreneurship through acquisition opportunities. The knowledge from the PRO tool has been very beneficial in building my confidence to attempt these endeavors. I initially became a PRO user while completing my MBA. Accounting was a completely new language for me to navigate. This tool helped me to quickly get the lay of the land, and even enabled me to take on a controller role in my previous company. I recommend this tool to fellow MBA students, as well as aspiring entrepreneurs.
Currently, I'm a staff accountant at a national not-for-profit organization. I found this site after college, and I've been using AccountingCoach for years now. My reasoning to join the PRO membership was to make sure that I kept my basic and advanced accounting skills sharp. I also joined the site because of the affordable one-time payment for the lifetime membership option. The materials are simple to go through, with the benefit of having explanations for the more advanced concepts with great insight and in great detail. The step-by-step layout from one lesson to another makes it easier to learn each topic within either the bookkeeping, financial, and managerial sections. I've definitely benefited from making sure my skills are up to date, and as sharp as possible.
I have worked as a staff accountant for many years, and currently provide bookkeeping/accounting services as an outside contractor. I signed up as a PRO user as a backup source to better understand accounting. The PRO materials are very thorough and simple to follow. AccountingCoach is my go-to continuing-education program.
I was working for a non-profit organization in the accounting office, and was responsible for accounts payable and receivable, payroll, and donations. I came across a variety of situations where I needed extra instruction in order to complete the assignments well. I signed up with AccountingCoach PRO and found myself working through their sessions and gaining the insight I needed. I have continued to work in the bookkeeping industry and often refer to AccountingCoach PRO materials for help. Thank you for the ease and simplicity of your continuous learning themes. I appreciate all the benefits of purchasing a lifetime membership.
I am currently working for a Pharmacy Benefits Management company (PMB). I discovered AccountingCoach when I was in college going through the accounting program. Sometimes in school, the concepts weren't always clear to me, or I just needed a concise refresher on certain accounting topics. AccountingCoach fulfilled both of these needs for me. I became a PRO user because I found value in the additional resources I received. It really helped me to solidify my understanding of the accounting process. I like the materials on AccountingCoach because of the clarity and conciseness of the information. I find myself wanting to brush up on things from time to time, and because of the format of the AccountingCoach platform, I'm able to quickly find what I need. I have benefited from the materials both academically and professionally. In school, I did well in my courses, and I know that using AccountingCoach contributed to my success. Professionally, I have felt confident in communicating with my coworkers regarding accounting concepts, which has in turn helped me to progress in the company. Sometimes when I’m working, I reference the templates provided on AccountingCoach to guide my work. I will be using this site for years to come!
I am a partner in a small family accounting firm in Pennsylvania. I became a PRO user so I could review and refresh on the basics, as well as new items and regulations that pop up every other day. I love the way each subject is organized for easy access and review. I can go in, read the materials, and take an exam at the end to help solidify the concepts in my mind. It's always helpful to be able to go back and refresh my memory as I age and tend to concentrate in only specific areas of accounting. I have also benefited from the website by being able to review material when clients have questions or any particular situations that need further research on my part.
I am thankful I signed up for AccountingCoach. My background is in front-office customer service and minor bookkeeping. My husband and I opened a satellite office for a European company where I had to use all those skills and more. We have an ERP system and an accountant, but I needed to brush up on some of my bookkeeping and learn new skills to keep up with my accountant. I have recently started with AccountingCoach, and I can tell you that it is user friendly and easy to navigate. You can go in order or jump to a section as needed. Everything is clearly explained. The PRO platform is great because you have access to all the material whenever you need it, so if I have any future questions, I can go back and look at it. I would highly recommend this website to others.
I am currently working as a controller. AccountingCoach has offered excellent materials, going back almost ten years ago from today, when I first discovered it. I became a PRO user shortly after finding the website. It was, and continues to be, an excellent resource! I have referred it to colleagues and friends because of this. I enjoy the high-quality materials, with clear explanations containing examples. AccountingCoach has helped me to transition into the accounting field, and was good preparation for when I began taking college-level accounting courses.
I am studying accounting to finish my bachelor's degree. I am currently working in accounting, doing some bookkeeping work for a yacht service center. I became a PRO user to help me in both my career and school. The materials make it interesting, and I find it a unique way to retain information. I have benefited from the materials because they allow me to review basic accounting topics that may have slipped my mind as I progress further in my experience.
As a supply chain professional, I can confirm that AccountingCoach is a great resource for my mastery of accounting principles that directly impact my work. I find the structure of the sections particularly beneficial due to its well-designed approach, breaking down complex topics into digestible parts. The interactive components, such as quizzes, Q&A, flashcards, word scrambles, and crosswords offer a variety of ways to reinforce my learning and ensure I truly understand the material. AccountingCoach has not only improved my financial literacy but also enhanced my ability in key supply chain tasks, such as assessing supplier financial health, budgeting projects, and making strategic sourcing evaluation. The skills acquired through this platform have been essential for effective cost management and informed financial decision-making in my supply chain role.
My current position is as Accounting Manager for a construction company. I became a PRO user years ago while struggling through some of my higher-level accounting classes in college, due to some faulty teaching in lower-level courses. I like that the materials on AccountingCoach range from base knowledge all the way up to detailed explanations on fairly complicated subjects. From the start, the subject matter is explained in great detail, and the interactive ways to apply the knowledge are excellent to drill it in. I have benefited from my PRO membership because I have turned the skills I learned between this and school into a career that I love.
In my current role as Director of Operations in the financial services industry, I've found immense value in being a PRO user on AccountingCoach. The materials provided are crafted by Harold Averkamp, a seasoned CPA with over 25 years of teaching experience, ensuring unparalleled clarity and relevance. The core materials offer a strong foundation, and the PRO materials elevate the learning experience with comprehensive resources, including video training, quizzes, and Certificates of Achievement. The convenience of 24/7 access and self-directed, self-paced learning fits seamlessly into my schedule, providing invaluable insights that have directly contributed to my success. AccountingCoach has truly become my go-to platform for advancing my accounting knowledge.
I work as an accountant/financial analyst, focusing on tax equity/back leverage in the energy/carbon offset industry handling complex financial models/splits and environmental emissions. I went for PRO since there are not that many decent online accounting textbooks, and AccountingCoach presents the material in an easy-to-digest fashion. I like how easy the material is to read through and comprehend. You provide feedback with the quizzes and vocab sections, while also keeping up with the industry standard terms in accounting (there is a lot of different jargon per sector, so it helps to know each specific niche). The materials have helped me pass my accounting tests for my degree, and helped in preparing for my CPA exam. The content is right on point for what I needed.
I have been in the accounting field for over 20 years. I still use AccountingCoach PRO to research any questions that I have. I am a senior accountant and find the lessons and testing valuable even at this stage in my career. I became a PRO user about a decade ago so that I could keep up with the accounting concepts after I was in school. I thought of it as a secondary study tool. By keeping up with my knowledge, I have been able to move up the ladder in my career, and I think that AccountingCoach PRO has had a hand in that. Thank you for making this service available to us accountants!
When I moved to New Zealand, fairly late in life, I became a small-business owner and started doing my own books with limited accounting knowledge. Now, 20 years later and retired, I confidently submit the annual accounts to the tax authorities without relying on the services of a CA. I also do the monthly and annual accounts for our local church. AccountingCoach has increased my knowledge significantly, and the extensive library of topics and explanations in ‘simple language’ has been a great help for me over many years. I look forward to exploring your new website.
I have been a long-time user of AccountingCoach, and highly recommend it for learning about accounting and getting a refresher on the basics. I was able to work my way into being a staff accountant for 3 years working for a CPA firm, and from there I most recently worked with a financial services firm for 5 years, most recently as an accounting specialist. AccountingCoach’s pricing is a complete bargain, and the material is very nicely organized and easy to follow. I am now in the process of opening my own accounting business.
I am currently employed at a food distributor as an account specialist. I have been using your website for about a year now. When I started here, I didn't know very much about accrual accounting, as I had always used the cash accounting method. In my position, I am responsible for entering the company’s JE. I was hired as an account specialist, with the opportunity for a promotion to Staff Accountant. For that promotion to be fulfilled, I needed to learn more about accounting procedures. My manager set goals for me to fulfill and went online to find some online accounting courses. That's when he found your website. At the time, we didn't know how useful the site would be, so we chose not to purchase the PRO Plus option. After using it for some time now, I found the site to be extremely useful. It is very user friendly and has a lot of valuable information. I have learned a great deal from your site. The biggest thing I learned was how the accounting equation works. I've been able to learn more about accruals, deferrals, adjusting journal entries, and more. I also understand more about how the JEs I enter affect our financial statements here. This has proven to be invaluable to me because it has helped me move closer to the promotion of Staff Accountant, which includes a pay raise. I know I have a lot more to learn.
I am now a bookkeeper for a small company, thanks to AccountingCoach PRO Plus. PRO Plus’ material helped me understand debits and credits; the examples and the breakdown of the financial terminology helped me understand the role of debits and credits and how everything comes together, which also helped me understand how they play a part in the financial statement. This made it easy for me to explain the owners’ overall financial picture to them. I like how a certificate is given at the end of the exam. I was able to use the certificate to land my current job. I will continue to use PRO Plus; my goal is to become my own boss and open a bookkeeping company.
I have been an AccountingCoach member for quite a few years now. I am a bookkeeper, and I purchased the PRO membership because I wanted to be able to access all the features that this website offers. I consider it ‘my little bible of accounting’, and I often review and refresh my basics. I find the information always clear and easy to understand. Each concept is always explained thoroughly, and the exercises are always engaging. It is really a study guide you can rely on. By adding the Certificates of Achievement, AccountingCoach makes the learning process even more incentivizing. Whether you have a degree in accounting or not, it is still very rewarding to stack up on rewards, and it does trigger one's adrenaline. I cannot recommend AccountingCoach enough, and I truly consider it an investment. Thank you, AccountingCoach!
I am currently a tutor. Many of my students are learning basic QuickBooks skills, but the one skill they lack is fundamental accounting concepts. I became a member to check the materials and concepts offered by AccountingCoach so that I could have a go-to resource for my QuickBooks students. I refer my students to AccountingCoach to gain access to basic understanding so they can be more confident in operating QuickBooks.
I am currently the controller for a wall-and-ceiling subcontractor. I have been in this position for almost 5 years now. I have no accounting background, as I was a professional hairstylist before I came to this company. With hard work, and with the AccountingCoach Online Course, I have become quite an amazing financial accountant! The previous controller for our company had set me up with PRO for weekly training. AccountingCoach is the best accounting website I've seen. I have referred multiple friends and family members to AccountingCoach for training, either for a new position at work, a refresher, or for someone wanting to change their career to accounting. The material on this website is on point. It is everything you would learn in a community college accounting degree, and it has benefited me in so many ways. It taught me the basics of accounting, plus so much more. It also helped me understand financial accounting, and cash-flow reporting, which is huge in the position I am now in.
I am currently a staff accountant. I just LOVE AccountingCoach because not only did it help me get into the accounting industry, but it helped me get the job I have today. I am now retired, and my background was in human resources, but I wanted to get into accounting. I didn't want to go to college before seeing if I would like it, so I started to apply for jobs in accounting and quickly saw that it required a degree. I researched for a creative way to get into the industry and came across AccountingCoach online. I decided to give it a try because I wanted to get some skills, and thank goodness I did! I went through the modules, which taught me the basic skills of accounting. I took the quizzes and used all the resources, and it helped so much. I did this for 6 months before I started applying for accounting jobs and landed my first accounting position in accounts payable. From there, I continued to progress using AccountingCoach to assist me along the way and have worked my way up to the position of Staff Accountant. I have now been in the industry for over 5 years, and I love it. AccountingCoach is the best resource out to get your foot in the door and to progress in your position.
I'm currently a finance associate for a nonprofit. I came to a career in finance from having been involved with nonprofits in other capacities. I realized after starting my position (my first real finance job) that I was missing key contextual pieces. AccountingCoach was recommended to me as a professional development solution to help round out my knowledge. I like that the material is self-paced, meaning you can do as little or as much as you want in a sitting. It's also easy to look up specific terms or lingo and see what they mean, which is very helpful in the day-to-day. I don't have time to take an evening class, so it's a perfect middle-ground solution for me! Thanks to the material, I have come a long way from where I started 1.5 years ago, and I'm now able to play a much more essential role when it comes to our monthly and yearly reporting. I have also been given more responsibilities at my job, as my understanding of financial concepts and terminology has increased.
As an enrolled agent, as well as a senior staff accountant, I've found tremendous value in becoming a PRO user of AccountingCoach. The platform's diverse resources have significantly enhanced my skills and knowledge, covering everything from basic concepts to advanced topics. This wealth of information has empowered me to better serve my clientele. I appreciate the comprehensive and practical approach, making it an indispensable tool for any accounting professional seeking continuous improvement. I wholeheartedly endorse AccountingCoach for all accounting students and professionals. Don't miss out—it's a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their expertise in accounting.
I have been a volunteer treasurer for a not-for-profit charity for several years. Since I'm not an accountant and have not taken any accounting courses, I've found AccountingCoach extremely useful, and essential, for understanding and learning the terminology and transactions used by our accounting software and auditors. I have found the site to be very well laid out, well organized, and easy to understand and to find the information that I need.
Currently, my job title is Budget Analyst. I have held this position for the last 9 years. I became an AccountingCoach PRO user years ago when I took a basic accounting class, which was quite easy until I took the managerial course. Now I was in projections, forecasting, and inventory on hand, which was challenging. Once I became an AccountingCoach PRO user, I was able to review various lessons until I mastered each lesson. AccountingCoach gave me the tools I needed to help me get my current job. I also like how I can work at my own pace and really master the concepts of accounting. I'm so excited and looking forward to AccountingCoach PRO Plus.
I am a CPA with a (heavy, technical) tax and accounting (bookkeeping) practice. After training and teaching accounting and taxes, this is THE ONLY place where I can send interns, staff, associates, and most importantly, clients! There needs to be a place where any person can get simple, concise, and complete explanations of accounting, processes and some theory (what/why/how). Most folks do not find that, and therefore stop doing accounting, or stop trying to get it right. Thank you for the most appropriate, thorough, and sensible source for accounting explanations, and for the understanding and value it brings to folks at any level. The paths to success you offer are numerous and well considered, to avoid the normal ‘I don't get it’ failures that drive some to just give up and quit. BEST overall accounting resource out there, and I continue to use it even after over 50 years of experience. GREAT JOB, please continue!
I became a PRO user of AccountingCoach to enhance my knowledge of accounting procedures, as I am self-taught, and knew from the first time I logged on that this site would be beneficial for me. I like the AccountingCoach website because of the detailed explanations of procedures and the self-testing to show where my weaknesses and strengths are, and because it is an extremely useful reference program. The benefit of using AccountingCoach for me is the easy access to specific subject matters and the assistance it provides me to learn, grow, and take on added responsibilities with confidence in my role as Accounting Manager. I would highly recommend this site for anyone who is responsible for accounting, bookkeeping, and financial reporting. It has helped me personally to gain confidence in providing accurate financial information to the owner of our company.
I am a regional assistant controller for a Fortune 500 company, and I became a PRO user of AccountingCoach to enhance my knowledge and skills in accounting. I like the way the materials are presented in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for me to understand complex accounting concepts. The quizzes and tests have helped me to evaluate my understanding of the material and identify areas where I need to improve. I have benefited greatly from the materials on AccountingCoach and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn accounting.
Running my own general contracting business, I found myself wearing many hats, including that of a bookkeeper. To refine my financial acumen, I turned to AccountingCoach as a PRO user. The clarity and logical flow of the content made grasping accounting principles surprisingly simple. Embracing these materials has empowered me to competently handle my accounts, spot tax deductions I'd missed, and organize my business documents more effectively. It's been a game-changer, making my business operations smoother and more cost efficient.
I’ve been an industrial controller since 2016, and I became a PRO user because I needed to follow up on this kind of subject. I really appreciate your materials because they are absolutely clear; and, thanks to the examples, the videos, the flashcards, etc., everything is easier to understand. I finally have a really clear vision of accounting and the way it works. Obviously, I'm not an expert accountant, but I'm now able to send a correct accounting entry, and to understand if there's something wrong. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your work.
I am currently the CFO for a drug store. I became a PRO user over 10 years ago. At that time, my career path took me back into the accounting/finance area, and it had been many years since I had graduated from college. I found your materials to be an excellent ‘refresher’ course on basic accounting concepts, and they helped me get back up to speed on accounting principles. Your materials are very well written, and easy to understand regardless of one's accounting background. Your website is easy to navigate and very well organized, by topic. I encourage anyone who wants to improve their accounting knowledge to make use of your materials. Keep up the good work!
I am an entrepreneur and business educator. I have been educating and preparing students to sit accounting exams for over ten years. I became a PRO user because it assisted me in creating content that is easy to understand for my accounting students. It also acts as a reference tool to assist them in exam preparation. The materials are an awesome resource tool for creating assessments. My students and I have benefited tremendously from the materials and the easy understanding of the content. They will continue to be part of our accounting arsenal.
I currently hold a management position in a European company that operates in the defense industry around the world. I became a PRO user in order to gain more in-depth knowledge of accounting during my postgraduate studies at university, and also because I needed to be familiar with such issues within the company and understand finance. I found your materials to be very well written and understandable, compared to other sources I found on the Internet. I gained a lot of knowledge on accounting topics, from basic to more complex, that I was able to apply in business and be familiar with the language, as well as follow our company's CFO in discussions.
AccountingCoach has been a valuable resource to me for over 10 years. I am a small-business owner that became a PRO user when I needed reliable information that was not an Intuit forum. AccountingCoach is a resource that equipped me with the skills and knowledge to make informed accounting decisions for myself without being dependent on expensive third-party counsel or another ‘Alice in Wonderland’ internet rabbit hole. The more you know, the more power you have, and AccountingCoach delivers! The lessons are simple and designed to give you a strong foundation for financial understanding!
As a new business owner trying to learn how to handle their own books and accounting, AccountingCoach has been a tool that has helped greatly. It has made learning accounting far easier than any other methods I have tried. I am not one to be excited about studying, but somehow AccountingCoach has made me enjoy learning the material. I can’t thank the team enough for providing the software and material so that it can help people like me in understanding more about accounting and how to handle finances in general.
My current job position is Accounting Clerk. My background is mainly in taxes, personal taxes for the most part, but I have some experience working for some corporations. I became a PRO user because I was applying for jobs; I graduated college about 2 years ago, and it was during the pandemic so I didn't feel confident in my accounting knowledge. I wanted to refresh my memory with AccountingCoach, and upgrading to become a PRO user made sense to me. I like how your material is organized in its sections. It makes it easy for me to navigate to a certain lesson if I need it. I benefited from your material as it helped me get my current job. I needed a refresher, and AccountingCoach also helped me with interviews. Since my background is mainly in taxes, getting a refresher on accounting in its entirety has helped.
I'm a financial professional with a 25-year background in fixed income and financial planning. I felt out of touch in accounting, and thought this is where your coaching could come in handy. Becoming a PRO user was a game-changer for me. Your materials provided comprehensive learning in the accounting field, where I felt at a significant disadvantage against my peers. The PRO membership has significantly elevated my proficiency, translating directly into more impactful client interactions and increased professional success. I’m grateful for the invaluable resources you provide!
I am a finance manager at a non-profit organization. I actually didn't know what accounting was a few years ago until I got introduced by an accountant, as I had a science background. So, I needed to be self-educated and found AccountingCoach. I don't remember exactly why I became a PRO user, but I think I wanted to be able to take quizzes, etc. and it was very helpful to improve my knowledge. I like the examples, and the explanations are very easy to understand. I am still studying some information from AccountingCoach to upgrade my skills.
I am an accounting specialist for a wholesale company here in Maine. When I first started this position, my boss purchased this course for me to update my knowledge on accounting. I found the course to be easy to learn from and not confusing. I feel I have learned more from this course than through my accounting class in college. I love the fact that I can take tests, and if my score is low I have the ability to start my training over until I can perfect the test, which in turn perfects my skills. I love all the different references it gives me throughout to be able to search even more on a particular subject. And of course, I love the fact that I have access to this information year-round for future reference and to keep myself updated on anything new happening in the accounting world.
I currently work as the bookkeeper and administrative specialist for a small environmental nonprofit. My background is actually in interior design, and I previously worked at a small architecture firm for many years, but I always did the bookkeeping there as well. I really enjoy this kind of work and I was excited when I had the opportunity to make a career switch. Since my background is not in accounting or bookkeeping, I had a lot to learn when I started working at a nonprofit. And, of course, nonprofit accounting has its own unique rules and requirements. I decided to become a PRO user so I could quickly get up to speed and continue to learn as new things came up at work. I love that the materials are so easy to use and understand. I can quickly find whatever topic I need to learn more about, and it's helpful that the website tracks my progress. The quizzes and activities are a great feature too and have helped me to retain what I've learned. I feel like AccountingCoach PRO has really enabled me to make bookkeeping my career focus and to continue to become better and better at what I do. Thank you so much!
I decided to upgrade to PRO because I needed to understand the basics of accounting in English, as a non-native. AccountingCoach PRO is an easy way to find very well-written material, and easy to understand for non-native speakers as well. I can say that thanks to AccountingCoach, I could start a career abroad and I'm now specializing in accounts payable, as well as having the chance to expand my knowledge. The material is great, the quizzes and questions are to the point. And above all, with a low one-time payment, you can have lifetime access. I wish I had done this earlier!
I am the owner of a bookkeeping and tax business, with a degree in accounting. I became aware of AccountingCoach many years ago, and very quickly joined as a PRO user. Whether you already have an accounting background with experience or none at all, AccountingCoach is the go-to resource to learn new skills or refresh your current knowledge. AccountingCoach is comprehensive, yet easy to follow and engaging. AccountingCoach has helped me keep up to date in an ever-changing industry.
As the owner of an HR software, I've always prioritized staying ahead in the dynamic field of accounting. With over 25 years of experience, I understand the importance of continuous learning and keeping up with the latest tax and accounting regulations. This is where AccountingCoach has been invaluable. This resource has been a game-changer for my firm and me. The comprehensive, easy-to-understand materials on AccountingCoach have enhanced my team's knowledge base, ensuring we remain on the cutting edge of accounting practices. Whether it's brushing up on general information or understanding new accounting standards, the site's range of topics caters to all our needs. What sets AccountingCoach apart is its commitment to clarity and relevance. The examples and quizzes are particularly helpful, allowing us to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. This practical approach has significantly boosted our confidence in handling diverse client needs, especially for the small businesses we passionately support. In a field where accuracy and up-to-date knowledge are paramount, AccountingCoach has been a reliable partner in our journey to provide exceptional service to our clients. It's a resource I would recommend to any accounting professional seeking to enhance their expertise and service quality.
I received a degree in accounting, and have worked in various jobs over the years. I had taken some time off to have four children, wanted to go back to work full time and found I was lacking the confidence I needed. I was thrilled when I found AccountingCoach. It helped me refresh my accounting knowledge and provided me with the ability to test that knowledge in several different ways. I most love the crossword puzzles and still do them for fun! I started with Intuit 3 years ago, and am currently a Quickbooks Live Sr. expert. AccountingCoach is still a great resource for me today. I use it when I need clarification on certain accounting topics. I find the explanations clear and easy to understand.
I've been an AccountingCoach PRO user for several years, and have used the course to expand my understanding and become more advanced in my bookkeeping skills. The course is very easy to follow and complete. I particularly like to use the ‘search for any accounting term’ feature when I need to find and learn about something specific. Each time I log in, I pick up something new that I didn't know before. I recommend this website if you are looking to learn or improve your accounting skills.
Earlier this year, I began my own bookkeeping business in Indiana to help small local service businesses with their books. As I was preparing for that transition, I started looking for some basic accounting training as my degree in college was in music education. Someone recommended your website to me, and I loved it! I became a PRO user after I had been using the free version of your website for a while. I felt that having access to the additional materials (tests, quizzes, etc.) would help me synthesize and understand the information on a deeper level than simply reading about it. And it absolutely did. I liked the various ways that the website offers to engage with the information. Not only is it more interesting, but it truly aids in learning. As a trained educator, I greatly appreciated the incorporation of various learning implements to deepen understanding. I believe I have developed a much stronger understanding of accounting basics since using AccountingCoach. Obviously I'm not a CPA, but I have a good grasp on the fundamentals and the terminology involved. Thank you so much for this website—I appreciate feeling like my money is well spent, and upgrading to PRO was absolutely worth it.
It has been my pleasure to join AccountingCoach to gain knowledge for bookkeeping and accounting principles for US accounting. At present, I am working as an accountant in India for an Israel-based subsidiary company. I also want to make my footprints in US bookkeeping and accounting, and while researching to gain knowledge on US bookkeeping, I came to connect with AccountingCoach. Upon going through its study material, I found it very convenient and easy to understand with examples. AccountingCoach is a very good platform to start a journey in US accounting.
I signed up for AccountingCoach in 2019, before I started my bookkeeping company. I had experience with running small businesses, using Quickbooks, and working for banks, but I needed to brush up on my accounting knowledge as it had been some years since I had taken accounting courses in college. AccountingCoach was the perfect aid for me at the time, and I still refer back to it when I have the occasional question. The variety of formats lends itself both to study and reference, making it a great long term investment!
When I did my MBA, I did not put too much emphasis on accounting. When I started working, accounting knowledge and key accounting concepts were becoming very crucial day by day. This situation was lingering on and on, and I was trying various methods to improve my knowledge of accounting concepts, procedures, and practical applicability. Luckily, I happened to find the AccountingCoach website. I signed up for AccountingCoach as I could find concepts explained from basic knowledge, up to an advanced understanding of the subject matter. I find it to be a quick reference guide to clarify my understanding of accounting concepts, and I always find it to be useful and helpful.
I am an accounting supervisor for a nonprofit, though not a CPA. I joined PRO after working my way through many of AccountingCoach's topics because I was impressed by the clarity of the explanations. I used AccountingCoach early in my career to shore up my understanding of various areas, like inventory and the cost of goods sold. AccountingCoach's concrete and transparent explanations have improved my own teaching as I onboard and train new accountants. I hope to work through all of the PRO Plus material and certificates in the future.
I am a full-time office administrator with a part-time evening position doing bookkeeping for a non-profit organization. I signed up for AccountingCoach PRO many years ago and still go back to it regularly to refresh my knowledge. I find the website easy to navigate and to find the material I am looking for. The material is also presented in an easy-to-understand way. The crosswords and other study strategies they offer to learn the material have been very helpful as well. I will continue to use AccountingCoach for many years to come and appreciate the information it provides.
I was a career teacher and coach before I took on the accounting/bookkeeping side of our business. My only accounting experience had been in college, with the one class my parents required of me—Accounting 101. A helpful class, yes, but not a strong base for dealing with daily business entries. Over the years, I read various books that helped me gain general knowledge and keep us in the black and out of trouble with my accountant. When I found AccountingCoach, I was blown away by the ‘fount of all accounting knowledge’ at my fingertips, complete with courses, study guides, and straightforward explanations that even a DIY accounting hack could understand! I now serve as our company's CFO and oversee the books and financial direction of multiple subsidiaries. AccountingCoach has helped me gain confidence and knowledge as I continue to learn best practices to run our businesses.
I'm semi-retired today, but still do some independent work involving accounting. I still consult AccountingCoach PRO from time to time. I've been a PRO user for years now. I became a PRO user because I found the content to be a great reference resource to consult when I couldn't fully remember a topic, or needed to learn about a topic of which I had no prior knowledge or recollection; or when I just wanted to brush up and be sure I understood up-to-date concepts and practices. I continue to use PRO because the website is easy to use and lets me zero in on the content I want. PRO is an important part of my toolkit as an independent consultant. I've previously worked in construction, telecommunications, software engineering, and manufacturing. I always found relevant and necessary material that I could count on to be timely and accurate. PRO always gave me a jumpstart when I needed to dig further into a topic.
I am a product specialist at a beverage industry-trade publication. I also run a small media company as a side business. I became a PRO user in order to better understand my company’s bookkeeping, plan for future growth, and help us make spending decisions. Now that I understand the fundamentals of accounting, I feel a new level of control and power when I create and analyze reports in QuickBooks. The learning resources are well written, well organized, and easy to understand. I can also solidify my knowledge with quizzes.
I got an accounting degree many years ago, and worked as a staff accountant for several years of my career. I am semi-retired now as I lost my job due to a merger, then took time off to care for an elderly parent. I became a user of AccountingCoach because I felt it would be a great way to brush up on my skills so that I could enter the workforce as a part-time accountant in the future. What I like about the materials is that they cover all aspects of basic accounting, and in enough depth for one to feel proficient to re-enter the workforce with confidence. This has benefited me by giving me that confidence, and allowing me to review my accounting skills at my own pace in a well-put-together online program.
Just over 10 years ago, I embarked on a new career as a bookkeeper. I knew little about the subject other than having completed my own accounts. Discovering AccountingCoach was an absolute godsend. It helped me grasp firstly the basics of bookkeeping, and later on, more in-depth subject matter. It didn't matter that I was accessing it from the UK as the information was laid out in a way that was universal in nature. Overall, AccountingCoach was the most accessible and easy-to-use learning tool I have found. I still come back to it periodically to refresh and learn.
I want to thank you for your AccountingCoach program. I have found your materials to be comprehensive and easy to use. As a retired corporation executive in operations, finance was critical to my doing a good job however my needs did not include expertise in balance sheets. The financial statements, cash flow, and budgets were more important to an operations professional. So, when I retired and started spending far more time on my investment accounts, I discovered the importance of the balance sheet, and that understanding it is critical to making good investment decisions. Your AccountingCoach PRO membership was a godsend as I am able to work at my own pace and improve my comprehension of the balance sheet, as well as to stay mentally tuned up on the other vital reports I examine for the stocks that I evaluate for my portfolio. I became an AccountingCoach PRO user after extensive research for an at-home system to increase my financial acumen, and AccountingCoach PRO has not disappointed. I understand the financial channels on cable much better than I ever have as they go about discussing the merits, or lack thereof, of a particular equity. I doubt there is a better program out there, especially at the very low price of AccountingCoach PRO. Logging in to AccountingCoach PRO weekly is part of my routine, and it has helped me understand companies in a way that I feel I make better investment decisions. AccountingCoach PRO may very well have been the best investment I've ever made toward understanding the underlying financial worth of a company.
I'm an independent bookkeeper. I'm very happy to have AccountingCoach as my most reliable source of information! It is my one and only resource that I don't know what I'd do without it. I became a PRO user many years ago because I was self-teaching to see if I could practice becoming involved in accounting for a living. The most important aspect of becoming a PRO user, which made me stay committed, was the easy access and all of the wonderful explanations of accounting. Easy-to-understand verbiage that didn’t go over my head was certainly key for me. If it wasn't for the easy access to all the material and resources, I would not have moved forward in my own business. I know I'm in good hands with this wonderful program. I'm well aware that I have so much confidence in what I do for my clients, knowing this program gives me valuable, reliable and helpful information when I need it most! I'm excited to see and experience your new website! I'm sure it will be even more user friendly and awesome. Thank you for being my rock for accounting!
I am a retired business manager with many completed accounting courses taken over 20 years ago. I wanted to refresh my accounting skills without going back to a formal classroom. AccountingCoach was exactly what I was searching for. The PRO membership provides a thorough refresher on accounting and will aid tremendously those taking or planning to take Accounting. The materials are thorough and easy to understand. I have benefited from AccountingCoach PRO by saving hundreds of dollars and learning current accounting techniques.
My current position is as an owner of a bookkeeping firm for over 15 years. We assist and help small-business owners with accounting and bookkeeping services. I became a PRO user in 2011, and have been studying the materials provided through AccountingCoach over the years. I have greatly benefited from the updates provided on the materials and the opportunity to acquire certificates that add to my professional development and credibility. AccountingCoach has been and continues to be a reliable source of accounting information throughout my bookkeeping career.
I am a student right now, and it's a bit hard to find good study material without spending much. AccountingCoach has been a big help for me in this. I chose the PRO membership because your materials are exactly what a student needs—they're clear, and really helpful. It has made understanding accounting much easier, and it's great to get the hang of things without getting confused with big words. Having the PRO Plus membership would be a big boost for me. It's not just more features and a certificate; it’s also about getting the right tools for preparing for the job market. When money is tight, an opportunity like this is really important. Thanks a lot for considering this, and for making learning accounting not just easy but also interesting.
AccountingCoach has surpassed my expectations, offering a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. The well-curated content, ranging from fundamentals to advanced topics, is presented in an accessible manner suitable for all levels. Interactive elements like real-world case studies and quizzes have strengthened my grasp on complex concepts, and the user-friendly interface and flexible modules made it easy to navigate. I highly recommend AccountingCoach for its transformative approach to accounting education, providing practical skills and knowledge essential for success in the field.
I am a senior accountant with over 15 years of experience. I became a PRO user because it wasn't always necessary to stay fresh with our accounting knowledge, and AccountingCoach has all the necessary training to feel confident regarding my accounting skills. What I like about the material is all the opportunities to test myself and to go over the lessons over and over again. The material is very extensive and well organized, and the information is really helpful. The greatest benefit is that every time I apply to a new job, I study this material, and I always get the job. AccountingCoach has been a great part of my professional career success.
As a senior accountant, I rely heavily on accurate and up-to-date financial resources. Becoming a PRO user was an easy choice because of the high-quality materials available. The depth of content and practical insights have been invaluable for me in my role. I've benefited greatly from the detailed guides and well-structured content, which have helped me navigate complex financial scenarios more effectively. It's been a game-changer for my career, enhancing my expertise and confidence in financial matters.
I'm a programmer and ERP implementer, and I needed to understand everything about accounting in deep detail. I work almost daily with flows of documents and business rules, and need to correct and also help users when working with accounting documents, invoices, fixed assets and so on. I became a PRO user because I needed help in understanding how to correct documents from a commercial and accounting perspective. I required lots of examples because I do many jobs in one, and AccountingCoach can help me to better understand my users. Thank you.
Having been a senior advisor for a business development center for some 15+ years, as well as holding a BSBA [Hotel & Restaurant Mgt] and MFA in Economics, I find the resources provided are relevant, timely and accurate as support for my advising of small-business clients. I started as a 'basic' user and found the resources provided with PRO are what I needed to better serve clients in the area of financial literacy and strategy. The site is easy to navigate, and goes deep into collateral resources I didn't realize I wanted/needed. Our business development center is the go-to resource for small-business advising, based largely on the 'relevancy, timeliness and accuracy' of the resources, and the 'can-do attitude of the AccountingCoach team'.
I initially became an AccountingCoach user to help me further understand accounting and understand the process with a step-by-step explanation of why and how things should be done. I had to set aside my studies in order to care for my aging mother, who has since passed away, but I am going to be re-entering the workforce. Having access to the newly-improved website will help me to improve upon and re-establish my skill level to be able to perform certain duties for my employer. Also, when setting up or working on established spreadsheets, knowing the purpose and being able to understand the steps needed to accomplish the goal as it was intended is why I had purchased the program to begin with. I look forward to seeing what's new and recovering the knowledge lost in my absence from the workforce, as well as to working on my skill set with confidence from the methods taught by your program. I also look forward to obtaining the certificates, which will be appealing to an employer in the future. The programs for inventory and payroll will be especially helpful as I encountered both in the past and was given the responsibility of doing payroll, which we both know requires good accounting and data entry to produce the accurate results. I also used some accounting to do inventory so the FIFO theory was of great assistance as well. It has been years since I used either, so a refresher on both these subjects is definitely needed.
I am probably a non-typical user of AccountingCoach. As a manufacturing engineer for a leading aggregate equipment company, my responsibilities focus on facility and process improvements. However, I work with the accounting department on a frequent basis as many of my projects are considered capital expenditures. I have found that AccountingCoach explains topics in a clear and concise manner. I became a PRO User because I wanted to better understand accounting processes as they relate to my responsibilities, and more importantly to establish a firm understanding about general business accounting and financial reporting requirements. AccountingCoach fills those needs.
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible resource that is AccountingCoach. As a seasoned Sr. project manager, I have relied on your platform for many years, and it has proven to be an invaluable tool in honing my accounting skills and understanding complex concepts. One of the standout features of AccountingCoach is its user-friendly layout, making it incredibly easy to search for and find relevant content. The inclusion of videos alongside the data provides an extra layer of support, enhancing the learning experience. I have found this particularly beneficial when tackling more challenging accounting topics. What sets AccountingCoach apart is its versatility. For new business consultants, this platform serves as a comprehensive learning portal offering quizzes, tests, and well-structured content. It is particularly helpful for those needing a refresher in key areas that may not have been thoroughly studied. The speed and ease with which one can grasp managerial and financial accounting concepts make this platform an invaluable resource. As someone who has navigated the intricacies of project management, I have consistently recommended AccountingCoach to colleagues and peers alike. The platform has been a key companion in my professional journey, aiding me in staying sharp and informed in the ever-evolving field of accounting. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly endorse AccountingCoach for its exceptional educational content, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive approach to accounting education. For anyone looking to enhance their accounting skills or gain a quick refresher, I highly recommend this platform. Thank you, AccountingCoach, for being an indispensable partner in my ongoing professional development.
I was looking for an engaging and professional way to increase my knowledge of accounting and financial understanding to take advantage of opportunities. I was not disappointed. The user interface is clean and easy on the eyes. The material is presented in an orderly way, yet flexible to meet your needs. The detailed menu system aids in this flexibility. You can clearly see what topics are covered. The progress bar is a visual representation of your current status, which helps keep you motivated. Additionally, the variety of material, quizzes and interactions help reinforce the material in a non-boring way. The knowledge I have gained and retained has allowed me to engage with confidence, and pursue business opportunities.
I am from India and I am the CEO of a private limited company in the book publication industry. Accounting is a subject that has scared me the most, since I am from an engineering background. I had tried many different books and online courses, but none could meet my expectations and help me understand the subject in the simplest manner. Then one day, I found AccountingCoach, and for the first time, I could immerse myself into the world of accounting. It was a single place to learn through videos, simple theory, and lots of examples; and the best part was the quizzes and puzzles. Harold's way of explaining difficult accounting concepts is so easy that even a 5-year-old can understand the subject. Subscribing to AccountingCoach has removed my fear of accounting, and I am now more comfortable going through the financial documents of my business, and can make more informed decisions. Finance and accounting are some of the most important functions of any business, which can make or break a company. Hence, it is crucial for business executives to equip themselves with essential accounts and finance knowledge to make better business decisions. I would like to congratulate and thank Harold Averkamp for creating this essential knowledge base, which is of tremendous value to business executives like me.
I am currently working as a bookkeeper at a renowned law firm. I completed my graduation in Computer Information Systems. I then started my business in India, and after running it for 5 years, I realised how important accounting is for running a business, so I started looking for online courses. By God’s grace, I stumbled upon AccountingCoach. I first used the free version, and I felt I gained so much. I slowly realised that if I could use the resources provided with a PRO account, it would speed up the process. This is when I joined the PRO service, and trust me, it has increased my understanding of accounting exponentially through the tools provided. Flashcards are my favourite tools. I moved to the USA a year ago and got a job as Bookkeeper, mostly thanks to AccountingCoach. I am planning on getting certificates from PRO Plus, which will increase my credibility in the accounting world. THANK YOU, AccountingCoach.
I am currently an office manager for a small health practice. I have been learning bookkeeping, and came across AccountingCoach. I am pursuing my own business of bookkeeping and the PRO membership had what I needed to start learning. The materials have helped me gain a good foundation. I like the different methods used to help me learn, from quizzes to Q&A and flashcards. I also like that I can go back to previous quizzes and lessons to see where I have improved and to solidify my understanding. I have been able to use the knowledge I have gained and put to use in my current position. I feel I am closer to being able to become a bookkeeper!
This service has helped me tremendously over the years. I signed up for this service when I attended school for my finance degree. This not only helped me through classes obtaining Summa Cum Laude, but also currently helps me today. I'm the finance director of a manufacturing company, and I use this site often to stay on top of any changes and assist me with training my employees. It's clear and direct and very informative. Along with tests and a wonderful glossary, I'm not sure what I would do without it. Thank you for providing such an excellent service to assist in my accounting career journey.
I have been working as a volunteer treasurer for a small 501c3 charity for 3.5 years. AccountingCoach has been invaluable as I am a one-man show, and they rely on me to do everything in the full accounting cycle (set up chart of accounts, payables, receivables, journal entries, general ledger, reconciliations, financial reports and taxes). I'm not sure where I'd be without this resource. It's been like having a mentor to turn to when I get stuck or have questions. I've enjoyed learning so much that I now wish to leverage my volunteer experience and become a full time accountant! Being inexperienced has caused a few employers to hesitate on hiring me. The certificates offered here are the key metric I need to show my competency and break into this career field. I don't know of any other resource where you can get this kind of help and skills for this value. Thank you Mr. Harold Averkamp, your gift of teaching is a true blessing to us all.
I recently started a bookkeeping and tax firm, and AccountingCoach has been an invaluable resource for me. As someone who earned their accounting degree a while ago and is now studying for the CMA, I needed a comprehensive refresher. The materials are not only easy to read but also detailed, with examples and quizzes that cater to hands-on learners like me. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I've enhanced my expertise, and gained the confidence to handle intricate accounting clients. The certificates are a plus as well. Highly recommended!
I am currently working as an asset analyst at a multinational company. I perform all activities related to asset management, e.g. creating new assets, running monthly depreciation, and doing write-offs. I became a PRO user because I wanted to get a job in the field of accounting. I think the material is extremely detailed and very well explained, and easy to understand even without previous studies. I really like the video training, flashcards and quick tests that all help us deepen our knowledge. It's much more enjoyable than learning from a textbook. AccountingCoach’s materials helped me get my current job, and I'm confident that if I wanted to change positions and do more complex things, not just asset accounting, the materials would be very useful, as the whole accounting field is covered.
I currently serve as the CFO for a nonprofit organization, as well as running a small business providing bookkeeping and financial advisory services to small businesses. Prior to this, I worked as the financial controller for a family of companies with consolidated revenues of $85 million. I stumbled across AccountingCoach 10+ years ago and it quickly became my go to for clear and concise explanations. I downloaded different versions of the cheat sheets and tests to utilize when onboarding accounting staff. I upgraded to PRO in order to gain access to the additional material. I still use this site to refresh my memory on some terms or processes. I have not found any other site where I can get straightforward and easy-to-understand answers as quickly and concisely. The forms and templates are an invaluable resource. I recommend AccountingCoach to associates and clients as the go-to site for instruction for their bookkeeping and accounting staff.
I'm not currently working, but when I subscribed to your site, I was working as a bookkeeper, and while I understood the basics, I really wanted to understand what my accountant was looking for on a day-to-day basis. At the end of our fiscal year, and with the help of your site, this was easily accomplished. I no longer felt like my accountant was speaking another language and could easily understand the vocabulary he used with regards to the balance sheet and what belonged where. I've always loved accounting, and when I found your site, I found the clear explanations along with the prepared quizzes to test my knowledge extremely useful. I've learned a lot from your site and it's my go to when I have an accounting question. I'm also happy to recommend it to others as an informative, user-friendly, easy-to-understand resource.
I work in an accounting/payroll function at a university. I'm trying to find a position a little bit higher in the accounting field. When positions do open up, I use the AccountingCoach as a great way to refresh myself on some accounting rules and procedures to help me feel more confident when I interview. It is a great review and learning tool to help keep myself more knowledgeable and skilled in accounting areas that I am not currently using on a day-to-day basis. AccountingCoach is user friendly and a fun way to learn, whether you are completely new or using it as a refresher. I like that there are fun games/puzzles to play to keep comfortable with the vocabulary, and quizzes to help me find out what I need to work on more when reading from the material.
My current role is Senior Accountant. I started as a payroll accountant with very little bookkeeping/accounting experience. I was presented the opportunity for a bookkeeping role with some tax preparation, and became a PRO user to get a better understanding of financial statements. Your materials have helped me excel in my role! I'm now training others! The material is easy to follow. I love the quizzes and examples. Even though I am now 2 years into my role, since I don't have an accounting degree, I still come across things on complicated financial statements that I'm not sure how to handle, and AccountingCoach always has the answers! Love love love your materials!
I'm a financial controller (formerly). During Covid, we were laid off! I have an associate, bachelor, and MBA in accounting, as well as 35 plus years of experience! Now, for the past few years, I have owned my own accounting firm. I became a PRO user because I needed access to a valid source of readily-available, easy-to-find information. I have researched and found the PRO membership to have the information I need. I like that the materials are easy to find and to understand. I've purchased AccountingCoach PRO for two of my employees as well to earn their certifications. This is also my go-to when I need to have a legitimate source for my clients. Almost all of my clients are from different industries and have different reporting requirements. Cash or accrual, percentage of completion, etc. Simple things, like where other income and expenses go, and how it affects gross margins if categorized incorrectly. I have been able to keep up with almost all of the accounting methods. This material has been far better than any I have found so far! Right at my fingertips, it's not easy finding a valid source of information on the internet! I keep myself sharp and knowledgeable with this material in order to help my clients by providing accurate financial data they can rely on to maintain, grow and make informed decisions. I'm now a construction industry accountant/fractional CFO, and construction is booming. More and more construction businesses are on the rise, and very few accountants have access to this kind of accounting knowledge!
I've been a lifetime member for quite awhile now. This site is like having my college textbooks on hand, and it has helped me through multiple career paths: from Assistant Controller, to Controller, to Accounting Director, and now into Public Accounting. If ever I am stumped this is my first go to for why, how, and what to do. It is a tremendous help. Honestly, I find it much better than searching through my textbooks, and it is always up to date. Keep up the great work on this site and this wonderful resource.
I highly recommend AccountingCoach for anyone looking to enhance their accounting skills. As an enrolled agent with limited formal accounting training, this website has been an invaluable resource for me. It offers a comprehensive range of accounting materials and goes beyond the basics, allowing me to review and deepen my knowledge efficiently. AccountingCoach has saved me a tremendous amount of time by providing all the necessary tools and resources in one place. It's a real gem for anyone wanting to brush up on their accounting skills or expand their expertise in the field.
I started to manage the business side of my spouse's medical practice at the same time that it transitioned from a sole proprietorship to a corporation. I became a PRO user because I needed to very quickly get up to speed with accounting principles to be able to discuss tax and estate-planning issues, and to understand how the business was actually performing. AccountingCoach materials are clear, concise, and exceptionally well organized. Before AccountingCoach, we had no way of knowing if our business was meeting our long-term financial goals, or what to do if it wasn’t. Now, using proper accounting principles, we are able to manage the business in a professional manner.
I am currently a senior financial analyst. I've obtained the following degrees and certifications: MBA in public administration concentration in forensic accounting, M.S in accounting,, and Local Finance Officer level I and level II. I joined AccountingCoach to assist me with any accounting questions or processes, and to guide me in all my years of employment. I also use AccountingCoach as continuing education to reinforce my accounting knowledge and to continue to test my skills to ensure I am continuing to complete journal entries correctly. The price is amazing for all the knowledge AccountingCoach provides. I tell everyone in accounting about AccountingCoach. One of the most amazing things about this membership is that you can move back and forth between topics. It is also self-paced. AccountingCoach makes accounting make sense, and the cost of the help is affordable.
I love AccountingCoach. When I first started at my bookkeeping job, I was informed that I would be using Quickbooks. Okay, fine, I can do that, the software does most of the work. Well, I did not count on the other stuff I had to do. AccountingCoach made my job a breeze. It covered any questions I had, ànd in a manner that was easy to understand. If you are just getting started in a job, it can help you with that. If you have been there awhile, you can continue to learn. I teach criminal justice now, but I continue to use my skills in the real world. Those who work with AccountingCoach care about what they do; it is noticeable in the lessons and in their emails.
I am a business consultant, and I have tasked myself with assisting marginalized micro businesses launch and thrive. I became a PRO user because understanding and teaching accounting principles is critical in my mission. I needed to brush up on certain concepts and found AccountingCoach PRO to be an excellent source. I could study concepts at my own pace, as well as utilize the forms to test my progress. I love how the website is built, and the easy thoughtfulness in how I can access materials in various areas. The AccountingCoach PRO materials are comprehensive and extremely helpful. I have benefited greatly from using these resources. I'm so glad I found them! Thank you, AccountingCoach PRO. You Rock!
As an IT Manager/Director for SMBs, I found that there was a knowledge gap between IT and the accounting/finance folks. Having an MBA helped somewhat, but there was still a deeper knowledge that was lacking, especially when we moved into the ERP realm. Questions would arise concerning impacts to the GL from operational inputs and IT would be tasked with figuring out the issue and some corrective measures. AccountingCoach helped solidify that knowledge in a quick and timely manner with their easy-to-follow videos and excellent documentation. I now feel completely at ease sitting with that department and discussing current/future endeavors and how they might impact our bottom line.
My current job position is that of Accounting Manager at a midsized corporate office. I became a PRO user when I was promoted to this job last year, and felt like I needed to brush up on my accounting skills. I like your materials for the matter-of-fact presentation of materials. There is no fluff, everything seems usable and to the point. Though I have not really used what I have learned directly, I feel like it has made me more knowledgeable and confident in my dealings with the accounting department. In the corporate world, regular GL accounting is not just like what we learned in the past. It is more about putting out fires! Nonetheless, I like having a point of reference with your materials whenever I feel like I am losing touch with foundational accounting.
My job for the last 27 years as Superintendent of a technology service group has included 3 states, 4 sites, and 65 employees. I did not have a background in accounting but found out very quickly that it would be beneficial when working with the “bean counters”. When I found AccountingCoach, I was immediately impressed with the training material, and looked into the cost of PRO. It's not every day that you find a lifetime subscription at such a great price. The training materials encompass all forms of media. I do better watching videos instead of reading, so having that available is a real plus. Also, the ability to print PDFs makes life easier when making notes. I maintain my own ledger of my teams’ budgets and expenses which helps to keep our team in the black. AccountingCoach PRO has been a great tool for my needs.
I am an internal audit director, and I became a PRO user while I was working on my degree. I was struggling with intermediate accounting and needed help. Using AccountingCoach as a student, I found the material easy to understand. It has continued to be helpful as a quick reference that I can trust throughout my career. Using AccountingCoach when I was struggling in school helped me get my degree. I am a CPA now, and I still find it to be a helpful tool.
I am a recent fashion merchandising graduate. I became a PRO user because I had to take an accounting course in the fashion merchandising program, which I found difficult. I purchased the accounting PRO course because it explained the accounting process in an easy format, and the materials were outstanding! After using the materials for my degree course, I was able to understand the accounting process. I must understand accounting because of my major and fashion career. I plan on starting my own fashion business, and I now have a wonderful accounting website to look back on as a reference if I ever need to. Thank you for creating an amazing website!
I'm currently transitioning from a programming background into the world of accounting, and AccountingCoach has been an absolute game-changer. The PRO membership has provided me with an unparalleled learning experience with the videos, quick tests, cheat sheets, flashcards, and printable PDF files; and those are not even all of the features of the PRO membership! I'm so happy to have found this excellent learning platform, covering everything from accounting basics to the most complex topics. The depth and simplicity with which intricate accounting concepts are explained have been a revelation. And the greatest thing about it all is that I can master accounting at my own pace, without any time restrictions. The lifetime access ensures I can revisit and reinforce my knowledge whenever needed. Thank you, AccountingCoach, for being the comprehensive, accessible, and reliable platform that has immensely supported my transition into the captivating world of accounting!
I initially signed up as a member with AccountingCoach when I was in college for my accounting degree, and I can honestly say that AccountingCoach not only helped me pass college but also put me on the dean’s list for five semesters straight. Even after college, whenever I had to look up accounting information that I forgot or needed to refresh, AccountingCoach was always there for me to go back on and refresh my memory so I can always be on top of the game at work. Currently, I am a tax accountant with a focus on cryptocurrency, and I can honestly say I still use AccountingCoach to this day over 8 years later.
I have been working for a property management company for 15 years. I started at the property level and worked my way up to the corporate office. In May of 2023, I applied for an accounting position, even though I have no education or background in accounting. Due to my hard work and long standing with the company, they decided to give me a chance. It was my supervisor who suggested I try AccountingCoach to get a basic background in the duties I would be performing. I opted to purchase the PRO plan so I could download materials for future reference, and to take notes as I progressed. The materials are easy to understand and often contain examples to better illustrate the lesson. Although I have not yet completed all the courses (I'm taking my time to better retain the information), the material I have learned so far has made it much easier to understand what I am being taught by the senior accounts. In some cases, I have even been able to figure out how to complete tasks without training by my supervisor thanks to the lessons in AccountingCoach. I even have some of the charts hanging in my cube to serve as reminders when I get confused. All in all, I have been extremely happy with the layout of the courses and the information they have provided, which has made me much more successful in my new position.
My current job is as a bookkeeper. I became a PRO user because I have only just gotten a new job as a bookkeeper. Even though I was trained when I was in my 20s, I had been out of the field for 15-20 years, so I wanted to refresh my memory and get myself up to date with everything. The materials are set out really well. I like the way they can be selected by category; for example, bookkeeping, finance or management. I feel my knowledge has been updated enough to confidently take on my new bookkeeping role.
I am an HR generalist at an American company, and based in Europe. My job requires accounting responsibilities, and the AccountingCoach website has been tremendously helpful for many years already. I gained a good basic understanding with the website, and have been a PRO member since 2016. These 8 years have taught me a great deal that I can now incorporate into my job. This has also made me equally enthusiastic about the accounting phenomenon. I'd like to thank the creators and editors of the platform, and compliment its interface and eye for details. I can recommend the website to anyone; I have already spread the word to many co-students and colleagues around the world.
As a seasoned bookkeeper specializing in accounting and tax returns in Canada, I found immense value in becoming a PRO user. The depth of your materials aligns seamlessly with my role, providing comprehensive insights and practical solutions. The user-friendly format and up-to-date content have significantly enhanced my efficiency, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting. Your platform has become an indispensable resource in my daily tasks, enabling me to stay ahead in the dynamic landscape of accounting and taxation.
I'm glad to have you as my virtual assistant at my work! My current position is Head of Finance, leading a Bulgarian entity.. My team works in the field of shared services and renders accounting and finance services. I became a PRO user because the guidelines in AccountingCoach are helpful and explained in a user-friendly way, which helps me during my daily tasks. I'm very happy to have you beside my shoulder!
I spent my entire life in C-level corporate finance positions, and since my retirement 5 years ago, I have been tutoring university students online on accounting and finance. I became a user to provide another source of materials to my students beyond the textbook. Without exception, your materials are easy to use, and unlike textbooks, understandable for students. They have helped me to better serve my students, and increase my customer satisfaction ratings. They have also saved me time in preparing for my sessions. I would highly recommend your program.
I currently have my own business and do my own accounting, as well as a little bit of programming on the side, more as a hobby. Back in 2016, I wanted to create my own software to tailor my business needs to account for everything: expenses, payroll, my sales, and my marketing. Everything just tied in together, so I started researching it. The programming part wasn't difficult, but I had no idea about accounting, and in order to create high-quality software that would display accurate information, I had to learn general accounting principles, and that is a whole fourth-year degree. Unfortunately, I didn't have four years on my hand to start developing the software. So I did a couple Google searches, and AccountingCoach came up. I clicked on it and read a little bit about it. Okay, this makes sense. Really easy to understand, and at the same time teaches you high-level accounting techniques and all the general accounting practices... I immediately subscribed and became a PRO member because it provided lifetime access. AccountingCoach has absolutely helped me tremendously in creating the software I needed and understanding more about my business and how money works. I will be able to turn and make more profit, and also understand a little bit of taxing which will help me tremendously when it comes down to how I can manage my finances much better. I was able to understand very well where my money was going, how things were, and how my business was flowing in general. Because of that, I can say that AccountingCoach is probably one of the best tools out there. Even if you're not going to use it, it's great to learn from. Sign up for it, and you're going to learn a lot of information in a short period of time. And if you’re considering becoming a CPA, or if you are in school, this is the perfect supplement material to better grasp accounting concepts. Thank you AccountingCoach, you have made a wonderful product.
I have been using AccountingCoach for nearly ten years. Before, I was often confused when I had to deal with accounting and financial terms and concepts. With consistency, and with the orientations received from this Coach, I succeeded in becoming the CFO of the company I am working for. Now, I consult the website from time to time to check or to confirm certain assertions. I am really assured to have it near me.
I own a financial planning firm which also offers part-time CFO services for my business owner clients. While I have an MBA in finance from a leading university, I find it helpful to brush up on accounting topics and issues through AccountingCoach. I have been a PRO Plus member of AccountingCoach for 8+ years and have found that it has consistently served to deepen and broaden my level of understanding of accounting.
I currently work as a bookkeeper. I became a PRO user as I had studied a different field in college, but as I moved up in the outsourced accounting firm I worked for, I needed to learn more about accounting. I like the fact that the materials are easy to understand, and that I didn't have to spend a fortune on more college courses. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I've been able to go further in my career, which has led to a better lifestyle.
I became a bookkeeper at my work. Prior to this, I had little experience so I knew I had to get some sort of education. I came across AccountingCoach and signed up. The material is easy to learn, and the format is great. I really like the repetition, because that's exactly what I need. I like the testing at the end which helps to ensure that you grasp what you've studied. If it wasn't for what I learned at AccountingCoach, I would have been more lost and confused. I became a PRO member because I wanted all the benefits I could get, and it was a great choice. It really helped me, and I couldn't have gone into this job without the knowledge I gained from AccountingCoach. Thank you!
My current position is as Manager of Financial Operations. This is why I became a PRO user, as AccountingCoach is a great resource for me in my position. I like that I can look up and find information about anything that might come up in my current position. Your materials are easy to find and make it easy to understand. The information provided by AccountingCoach PRO is easy to research and understand, and has helped me to educate myself on different aspects of accounting.
After more than 25 years as a management consultant, I became the president of a small material-handling equipment company. While my business experience and educational background gave me a solid understanding of accounting and finance, I became a PRO user of AccountingCoach to gain access to technical definitions and examples of absolutely everything about accounting, instantly and completely. AccountingCoach has served at various times both as a refresher on details I had forgotten, as a way to catch back up to speed rapidly to have more productive and intelligent discussions with my CPA, and as a quick how-to guide when tackling a needed but not often used bookkeeping procedure. Overall, AccountingCoach has helped me to stay current and save valuable time and money!
I have worked in my current position as an office manager, accountant and HR professional for 25 years. Wearing multiple hats has given me many opportunities. I joined AccountingCoach to help in the area of financial reporting. The application has provided much-needed information on finances over the years. It has saved me time and money versus having to contact my CPA for answers to financial questions. The website is user friendly, and the materials are accessible 24/7.
I have been a controller and/or CFO in a variety of industries since 1996. I currently have my own finance/accounting consulting practice. Despite the fact that our profession is very fluid and complex, clients don't want to pay for a consultant to get smart on a topic. Let's face it, the field changes rapidly each year and there's a lot to know to remain current. Deep-dive research often isn't an option. That's why I use AccountingCoach as my exclusive quick-reference library. It contains everything you need and more, to help busy accounting/finance professionals like us find the right answer quickly.
As a business analyst at a leading investment firm in Kuwait, I constantly seek tools to enhance my professional skills. My journey with AccountingCoach, particularly as a PRO user, has been transformative. The platform's plethora of benefits—including detailed tests for each section, comprehensive video tutorials, engaging puzzles, and practical cheat sheets and flashcards—significantly enriches the learning experience. What sets AccountingCoach apart is its ability to simplify complex accounting concepts, making them accessible to professionals like me who come from a non-accounting background. The well-designed tests and puzzles are excellent for gauging the knowledge acquired from each section. Moreover, the ready-made forms are not just theoretical tools; they have practical applicability in everyday office tasks. Thanks to AccountingCoach PRO, I've not only grasped the fundamentals of accounting but also developed a keen interest in the fields of accounting and finance. It's an invaluable resource for anyone looking to demystify accounting, irrespective of their professional background.
I've used AccountingCoach for many years while employed by a few companies. I came across the platform while doing some research for information on a procedure. My role is currently Business Operations Manager, but have previously held the roles of Accounting Manager and Controller. AccountingCoach has enabled me to refresh myself on some procedures, as well as confirm calculations for different ratios. I find the website very easy to use and full of information. The greatest resource I use are the quizzes. I have used them to train employees, to develop questions for team-building games, and for presentations to non-finance and accounting personnel. This last use is really great, because how many times do project managers misunderstand the difference between AP and AR?!
I am currently working as an accounting analyst at a large investment bank. I became a PRO user to take the full advantage of the awesome materials offered by the website. I actually started using the site when I was in college, but still use it because of the vast course materials, which is not only helpful to learn accounting basics but also to dive deeper into some advanced topics when needed. What I like about the website and the materials is that I am able to learn through the materials at my own pace without any time pressure like many other sites. The site is also very organized in terms of the topics, and most importantly, the option to receive the Certificates of Achievement! I have benefited a lot over the years using the AccountingCoach website, not only using it as reference and refresher website to learn key accounting concepts and materials, but also to learn in an organized manner and self-challenge my concepts by utilizing the Q&A feature, quizzes, and other problems.
As a bookkeeper, I want to strive for excellence and continual improvement. I don't have an accounting degree, but I have learned through mentors and experience. I started taking the courses in AccountingCoach to help me better see the big picture—to increase my confidence by understanding the “why” behind the books. AccountingCoach is exactly what I needed. The core concepts are thoroughly explained, the quizzes help cement my knowledge, and I love that I can watch them over and over again as needed. AccountingCoach is an incredible resource and provides great value.
I'd love to share my experience with you. I'm in the insurance industry, which is heavy on regulatory credentialing. Your site was recommended to me after I failed the dreaded Accounting 540 exam, which is part of a series of tests for the CPCU designation. After just a few weeks of watching the videos and completing the practice problems, I retook the exam and secured a pass! I have it all to owe to you; while I've not worked through the entire series, there’s no doubt that my pass can be credited to your program. Thank you!
Currently, I am employed as a working director of an agriculture business. Although I am a commerce graduate, I have not been doing any accounting work for a long time. Since I invested and started a partnership I understood the value of a good accounting background. Your materials are precise and easy to understand, and they have helped me a lot in my current job to analyze reports like P&L, balance sheets, etc.—as well as to control our expenses for the future.
I am an assistant professor at a university. This year, I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation. I currently teach courses for students in English, covering subjects such as basic accounting and financial accounting. The materials you prepare are excellent and enable me to conduct classes very effectively. Students really enjoy them. In addition, I am involved in financial due diligence and business valuation in practice. I lead a team of approximately 10 people, and I must admit that I also use your materials for the onboarding of new employees. Thank you for what you do for the field of accounting education.
I am a financial accountant. I have a CIMA and CPA (Australia) qualification, but your website always gives crisp explanations and reasoning for doing something. A PRO user gets all the information in detail, so, as I liked your website, I felt it was best to become a PRO user and get lifetime membership. The articles have benefitted me at work whenever some concepts were unclear. It has also helped me to prepare for exams and assignments.
Hello, I am currently a travel agent but I plan to soon start a bookkeeping business. I already have an associates degree, but it's been a while since I got it, and I wanted to refresh my memory on certain things. I did a search online and came across one of the AccountingCoach programs, where you can get more knowledge on accounting. What sold me was seeing other people in Facebook groups say they took the course, and that it gives you lifetime access. One thing I like is that it's very easy to understand. I plan to go over the materials again just to get a refresh before I take this leap and start my business in 2024.
I am an accounting teacher with over 15 years of experience. I became a PRO user because the resources available and the explanations of concepts really provide a deep and alternative perspective in my classroom. The materials are well organized and align very well with the curriculum. There is so much available, and the examples are very thorough. Students have been referred to your site as a resource to use when current textbooks and resources just don't cut it!
I am the head of finance and administration at my organization. I am currently based in Guatemala, and my experience and knowledge has only extended to local accounting and taxation; however, since I need to align some reports and controls with US standards, it has become critical to me to learn and practice as a PRO user with this wonderful tool. I like it because it provides a lot of examples and clear explanations that help me understand and apply what is needed for my job. Thank you so much for all the support.
As an aspiring online bookkeeper with prior office experience in the same field, I found myself seeking a stronger foundation in accounting. That's when I discovered AccountingCoach PRO, and it's been an absolute game-changer. The site reignited my passion for accounting, offering a well-structured platform that's become my go-to for reinforcing the basics. What I appreciate most is the clarity and depth of the materials; they've not only helped me brush up on concepts but have also enabled me to confidently recommend this resource to my community of aspiring and established online bookkeepers and accountants on Facebook. Thanks to AccountingCoach PRO, I've rekindled my enthusiasm for learning, and am building a more robust skill set to excel in my career journey.
I currently work as a director in revenue accounting. I became a PRO user to help me brush up on my accounting skills and allow me to go back and review select materials when I needed to research different accounting treatments. I found the site very easy to use, and I liked the fact that I could find the area that I wanted to review quickly and easily. The materials are very easy to understand and the site is very user friendly. I was a finance major in college, and this site allowed me to gain the understanding I needed to effectively understand and speak the accounting language and allow me to further my career without having to go back to school to learn and understand accounting. The materials have taught me all of the major categories in accounting. They are always my go-to resource when I need to brush up on a certain area of accounting.
I currently work in accounting as an accounts receivable manager in the healthcare industry. I first found the AccountingCoach website and became a PRO user because I needed to brush up on my accounting skills, as I had been out of the field for 20 years while raising children. I knew I needed a source that would help me achieve that. I like the simple format and the ability to navigate the website easily. I also like how well organized the material is, as well as being able to access the material on my own schedule and find the topics that I'm specifically interested in. The material has really helped me get my skill set and knowledge current again. And to remind me that I hadn't forgotten as much as I thought I had!
I am currently the office manager for a small company that installs and repairs loading docks, in addition to doing custom metal fabrication. I first became a PRO user at AccountingCoach in order to find material to teach my teens about accounting. I continued to use and learn from PRO to brush up on my accounting skills when I was ready to go back to work full time. I like the material because it is accurate and well organized. I also like that there is plenty of practice material available. After brushing up on my accounting skills at AccountingCoach, I was able to comfortably transfer from a cash-based accounting job to a new job which uses accrual accounting. In my interview, one of the things I was asked was to explain FIFO inventory. Thanks to AccountingCoach, the concept was fresh in my mind, and I was able to answer without hesitation.
I have an MBA, and as a manager, the materials have provided me with a great reference when accounting explanations are required. I became a PRO user to benefit from the quizzes, tests and reviews to keep my accounting knowledge up to speed. The materials are easy to understand, and offer a thorough explanation of accounting. They have allowed me to learn new topics and build confidence when working on accounting tasks.
