Format:Paperback
I've read three books on this subject - Silberger's 10 Day MBA, Finance on a Beermat and this one. Initially I thought it was overly wordy, but after persisting I realised how valuable it is. It is the best of the three I cite. It clearly guides you through all the key concepts, reiterating and reinforcing information as the book progresses, plus using representative examples, particularly for three accounting reports. It is a well thumbed tome for me now. To give you an example of how much it has helped, I went to see my accountant recently to discuss setting up a new business, her comment was 'you really seem to know your stuff, if you talk to investors like that you'll be in a good position to inspire their confidence and get their cash'

Colleagues had handed me books on accounting before, which I failed to get to grips with. I have always struggled with getting to grips with the numerical side of what I do for a living. REcently, however, I found myself having no choice to get better at it. Frankly I was desperate and while I'm not the kind of person who thinks of myself as a 'dummy', I hoped that this book would be a miracle pill. Thankfully, it has been really good. The authors clearly lay out the principles and pack the book with simple answers. I also enjoyed the fact that there are plenty of tips rather than a mass of prose (which is what the other books I'd seen before were like). Great effort: someone should give these authors a medal!

.... probably dont mix too well. I'm OK at maths but the concept of accountancy was a bit of a mystery to me until I read this book. It has helped me understand the basics of accounting. That was in fairness all I wanted it to do, so I deem it a success as a book. For people that just want a basic level of understanding this is a good buy.

Does what it says on the cover
As with most "DUMMIES" books, this one gives you a good overview of the topic and a basic level of understanding of the subject. Recommended.
