Product Description

Review
 “…a good refresher for any professional who feels rusty on the basics.” (Accounting Technician, May 2007)

Product Description
Are you finding that your invoices and bank statements pile up every month, untouched and shied away from? Does your accountant spend more time on basic bookkeeping than on minimising your tax bill? If you’re a small business owner who wants to take financial matters into your own hands, look no further. Bookkeeping for Dummies will guide you through all the basic skills needed to keep your business efficient and cost–effective – from tracking your transactions and keeping ledgers, to producing balance sheets and satisfying the taxman at year–end. Learn to manage your finances painlessly and clearly, and master the art of bookkeeping!

The book will be adapted from the current US edition of Bookkeeping for Dummies. Existing content will be revised to reflect essential UK information.

2.0 out of 5 stars Be aware! Not for us locals..., 12 Sep 2006
By P. Roberts (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is written from a US perspective. While the basic principles are the same, it uses US terminology and can be a little confusing. The tax section relates to that of the USA and not the UK. I sent mine back for an immediate refund and will wait until the UK version is published in February 2007.

4.0 out of 5 stars What bookkeeping is, 4 May 2007
The book gives an overview of bookkeeping dealing with all aspects of what is necessary to enable someone to understand how and why financial records are compiled and what those records can tell you about the finacial health of the business. The guidance offered in this book will give anyone a better understanding of how a business is performing and an idea of what to do about it. The one criticism I have would be the lack of worked examples in the book. However the book is worth the purchase price.
A companion book would be a work book dealing with actual examples with suggested answers to further reinforce the topics covered in the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Does not deliver what it says on the cover, 30 Oct 2008
Wanted a beginners guide to book keeping that a complete novice could understand. This book does not deliver. More for someone that has an understanding of book keeping than a beginner.
