  1. This book is easy to read and understand. It gave me all the information I needed to understand basic accounting. I immediately used what I learned to help a few people set up their accounting records. This book will stay in my library of resources for a long time!

  3. I read it after I read the Complete Idiot’s Guide, so I might be overrating it slightly, but it answered almost all of my questions. I would recommend getting both books.

    They’re ideal for a small business owner who wants to save a little money–it’s a lot cheaper to do the books yourself and have a professional accountant review your work than it is to hire one full time.

  4. The best thing about this book is that the lessons are written clearly making it easy to absorb the information and learn. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the basics of accounting. It is a must-read for those setting up a computerized accounting system.

  5. The theory of this book is that you can get through 1 chapter (concept) in one hour, then you take a quiz when your hour’s up to make sure you got the concepts.

    The quizes are poorly worded. Any question that an “all-of-the-above” option, was ALWAYS “all-of-the-above”. Worse than that is that the answers were in the back of the book with NO EXPLAINATION. Please at least tell me why “b” was the correct answer.

    I think the book brushed over some of the essential accounting concepts, while focusing on less important topics.

    I wish I would have never written in this book, but I guess I’m stuck with it now…
