CPA's favorable comments
4 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
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.

Great concept. Confusing execution.
2 Dec 2004
Format:Paperback
This book has a great idea, and it's exactly what I needed, a crash course on accounting. It's nicely broken up into brief lessons, so you can digest small portions.
Unfortunately, while the examples are generally clear and easy to understand, this text too often showed without telling. You need to follow the authors' logical leaps and work backwards to guess some of these accounting concepts.
Worse, in several examples, the ledgers have typos, with numbers in the wrong columns, along with incorrect arithmetic. I hope the next edition will be better proofread. Aside from losing credibility for the book, these errors made it even harder to follow.
With so many accounting crash course books on the market, next time, I would investigate other titles.

Great Accounting Overview
6 Jan 2003
Format:Paperback
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.
