"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.
