Customer Reviews

Very good guide to accounting

I read it after I read the Complete Idiot's Guide, so I might be overrating it slightly, but it answered almost all of my questions. I would recommend getting both books. They're ideal for a small business owner who wants to save a little money--it's a lot cheaper to do the books yourself and have a professional accountant review your work than it is to hire one full time.

Excellent Learning Tool

The best thing about this book is that the lessons are written clearly making it easy to absorb the information and learn. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the basics of accounting. It is a must-read for those setting up a computerized accounting system.

Great Book!

I have been looking for a book like this for years. It explains the basic concepts of accounting in plain english. The page layout makes it very easy to read, so you won't fall as sleep. This book is a keeper!

Great Accounting Overview

It has been over 15 years since I had Accounting in college. I am starting a new business and purchased Quickbooks 2003 to keep track of the books. I was having a hard time grasping Quickbooks and realized that I needed an overview of Accounting to learn how the software should be used. This book is easy to read and provides a good overview to bring someone up to speed on Accounting methodology, how to read financial statements, etc.

CPA's favorable comments

Having looked for a good, simple, in layperson's language book to give to beginning entrepeneurs, this is it. Very well done, understandable, but factual at the same time.
