Financial Accounting Essentials You Always Wanted To Know

Regardless of where you are in the accounting profession, having a good reference text that will teach you what you need to know and get your questions answered is important. This is an excellent and easy to understand text about financial accounting.

I a an accounting technician by training but also a teacher in Further Education and I felt this publication would be useful for me in helping my learners to understand the basics of Financial Accounting. Sometimes we forget how long ago it is since learning these fundamental features of accounting. I am delighted to say that this publication exceeds expectations. The layout is fairly standard for a textbook but the language is clearer and more broken down for any student tackling this subject. Extremely well set out, with a natural progression from one point to the next. It is for an American audience so the finer details such as revenue requirements for other jurisdictions are naturally not included but by and large this book can easily be translated from dollars to other currencies. I do not hesitate to recommend for any student or interested other this book. It is a neat handbook. Many thanks to the publishers, Netgalley and the author for an essential tool in bookkeeping and accounts.

As an accountant, I always find it interesting to read books that are geared toward non-accountants. It helps me understand where management is coming from when they make strange requests for data. This book was right on the money in terms of explaining various topics related to accounting. It has a very easy-to-read format and you are quickly able to skim through to get to a specific topic, as needed. I highly recommend this book to any non-accountant business people... it will save you time and confusion in the long run. Your accountant will thank you.

A good guide to accounting essentials, helpful and exactly what it says on the tin. A bit dry but good for what it is.
