4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to book keeping., 26 Nov 2001
By luesmail@aol.com (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
After already taking a home study course on practical book keeping, I bought this book to help me with revision. It proved to be of more use than some of the courses supplied text books.
The language in the book is simple to understand and the questions at the end of each topic prove to be a very useful revision tool.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful but not quite enough for a small business, 3 Jul 2005
By A Customer
I was completely new to book-keeping and accounting, and used this to teach myself how to set up books for the limited company my husband and I set up. It was a good book in terms of introducing accounting ideas such as double entry, and I have managed to set up my books and accounts and do now understand the point of double entry.
However it assumes that you are doing books for an already-established business so it was quite hard work deciding what ledgers etc to set up in our circumstances. Also the examples are focussed on retail business and I found it quite difficult to "translate" into what I would need for a property development and rental business. It doesn't show how to cope with employee expenses either.
Overall it is a decent book for teaching yourself what book-keeping is all about, but you would need a companion on small businesses if you were starting a small business, and I still needed the advice of an accountant at the end of the year to turn my books into something that would pass muster at Companies House.
