Product Description
Product Description
This is the new edition of the bestselling guide to understanding and using business accounts and accounting principles, written in a way that even the financially nervous novice can easily absorb. Accounting is generally viewed as a highly technical and complex subject. However, accounts are actually based on simple principles. It's not company accounts that are complex, it's all too often the way that they are explained.
In this simple and easy read book, the author guides you through all the major accounting concepts. Discover how to master company accounts, understand balance sheets, profit and loss accounts and cash flow systems. Learn to analyse and monitor your company's financial performance. Accounts Demystified is the definitive, user-friendly guide to the fundamental principles of accounting that no manager will want to be without.
In this 5th edition of the classic Accounts Demystified, Anthony Rice makes accounting astonishingly simple and pain-free.
From the Back Cover
'Trust me - no other book makes the subject as simple and clear. '
Jamie Reeve, Chairman, The Great Little Trading Company
Accounting principles are actually very simple: it’s the rules and terms to describe them that make it all so difficult. But once you’ve mastered the basics, what seemed so complicated before will become logical and even easy.
Accounts Demystified shows you how. In twelve simple sessions, designed as practical tutorials with worked examples, you’ll be taken right through the basics of accounting – balance sheets, profit and loss accounts, cash flow statements – to more sophisticated analysis and review. By the final session you’ll be fully equipped to tackle even the trickier aspects of accounting with new-found confidence.
Fully updated and now with an accompanying website, this bestselling book is for anyone who wants to be able to understand, digest and talk about numbers, quickly and easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastically clear,
By
This review is from: Accounts Demystified: The Astonishingly Simple Guide to Accounting (Paperback)
I own a couple of businesses but had always left the accounting stuff to my accountants. That's OK up to a point but when you begin to understand the importance of the "numbers" in your business, you cannot, with good conscience, leave it entirely in the hands of others. Whether you like it or not (and I don't), accounts are vital to showing a business what is going wrong, what is going well - and what to do next. No sane business person can ignore this.Years of "learned helplessness", disinterest and apathy meant I always believed accounting was just something that was beyond me. I tried several books (all of which were very dry) but they all tended to start off simply but become more complex. This book is different and it was this book that finally helped me understand accounting. Whilst it won't make you an accountant (and maybe that's not a bad thing!) it will teach you all you need to know as a business owner or someone working in the accounts department of a small business. I can now talk confidently and more intelligibly about my business figures with my accountant and bank manager but also run my businesses more effectively. In particular, I liked how the author would often say, "Think of it as X" or "Basically, all it really is, is Y" - that really helped clear up a lot of the concepts and put accounting in "human terms" that were much easier to grasp. I highly recommend it to any business owner or anyone who has to deal with the day-to-day running of any small-medium business. It will put you in a much better driving position and help you steer your business far more effectively.

I would recommend this book to anyone undertaking Technician level AAT Accountancy.You will find many of the graphical examples and explanations very helpful. A very well written book with good examples for those who already understand the fundamentals of accountancy.

Simple - ideal for the novice,
By
This review is from: Accounts Demystified: The Astonishingly Simple Guide to Accounting (Paperback)
As an accounting dunce, I've tried to read a lot of books about basic accounting to help improve the skills I need in my business. In my experience, most of these books seem to use a lot of unexplained jargon or fail to put the information into a practical context. This book scores highly on both counts - everything is clearly explained and the examples have been very easy to relate to my own experience.Highly Recommended.
