"I appreciate AccountingCoach so much! The information on the site has helped me immeasurably in my financial accounting course. It simplifies the various concepts in a way that allows me to truly understand them. I was struggling in the course for the first few weeks, but now I have a much better grasp of the material -- and it shows in my homework, quiz, and exam scores. Thank you!" - Tamra M.
