BUDGET UGETBDFeatured Review
"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." - Caryn P.
