Featured Review

"I am currently the Director of Accounting in a multi-billion dollar Company. My team and I are responsible for closing the books, consolidation, financial reporting as well as internal management reporting. I became a PRO user because I found AccountingCoach to be helpful in areas when you just need someone to explain in simple accounting terms. This website has helped me in various areas especially with brushing up my skills before onboarding any new team members. Recently my Company changed our health insurance carriers and I needed to understand payroll accounting in a very short amount of time. I immediately utilized AccountingCoach which helped me understand payroll journal entries and the impact they could have on the financials. I am forever grateful for this resource as I know I can easily get an answer and even quiz myself in order to ensure I have a full understanding of accounting concepts. Thank you again for making this resource available at such an affordable rate." - Anila
