I have to guide and teach 2 of my family members ( my mother and my sister, we are in business together. I am 46 years old ) , in how to use accounting in order to make decisions about more than 5 different companies we own, or have interests in.My goal is to teach them, how to read financial statements and how to use that information, in order to be a proactive board member and business director. I often find it difficult to explain concepts to people who have no clue about the topic. What a task!!! So I bought 3 of these books. One for each of them and one for me.I have a formal education related to those topics. University degree in business management and a masters degree in general management and in finance. And this book is excelent. I have enjoyed reading the first chapter and doing the exercises. Today we will have our first sesion with them, in order to discuss the first chapter.This book turns something that should be "square and boring", into a very nice learnig process. And is very entertaining. The content is really good. For people who need to learn about the subjetc and how to apply it, it is very usefull. Even for me, you always learn new things.When you finish this book, I doubt you will be able to get a job as a full time accountant. But you will have a solid understanding of the basic accounting principles, and will be able to "read" the story that your business financial statements tell. To interpret them, and hopefully with some common sense, to be able to ask the right questions.As business owners, we "see" through the financial statements and ownership should come hand in hand with beeing able to interpret financial statements in order to direct a business. No matter the size. Even our own household.Excellent book!!! Congratutalions to the authors. You should have a spanish language version available, for people whose native language is not english. Perhaps in the future.Ahh and one more comment. This book , I do recommend that you purchase the print edition. That way you can do the exercises better. 100 points.

Bought for my daughter who is learning accounting. Has been a real nice book, got through all of it. Learned some key concepts such as how to roll up the earnings from one week to the next from the balance sheet, learning that the net profit from the income statement always matches the earnings week to date on the balance sheet, etc.. I noticed on page 50 for total owners equity is has an already printed $15, when it should be an already printed $32. Also, on page 173 for Purchases (12+4+20+20+20+30) on the income statement I cannot find the number 4 for purchases anywhere on prior income statements. It appears to me that it should be the number 24 according to my math, not 4. It’s been maddening trying to find the $4 when it’s obviously not there. So, it must be another numerical error in the book. Even though it has a few numerical errors, it did a fine job with the basics. I’ll add it would have been helpful to have a mention of debits and credits, but overall a good book.

I am going to school to become a CPA and I found this book helpful in my studies. Easy read that was recommended from a friend and I would do the same for you. Get the book!

This was a great book. I highly recommend it. First, I loved the size of the book, the font and the spacing. I loved color graphics and using color.At the end of each chapter, it asks questions and provides the answer. This is really helpful because most of us talk to ourselves when we get stuck and we need to know what questions to ask ourselves to obtain an answer. This was also good for reviewing what you just learned.As you read on, you will fill out the financial statements. Every other page has one and it's in color.Learn and do is how this book operates.It's very easy to understand and the concepts and vocabulary stuck with me. I read the 1st 5 chapters in one day. And I finished the book in 3 days.I hope the authors consider making more books. It was fun and enjoyable to read.

If you are a business owner who doesn't quite understand the details of accounting, I cannot recommend this book enough. I've recommended it to friends and family who have interest in business. I completed the book cover to cover and it was like getting an accounting certificate.This book is so approachable and entertaining you'll find yourself knocking out a couple of chapters every time you pick it up.

This is a great book that covers important aspects of accounting from a perspective kids can understand. I think it is not likely they would get this exposure unless they either start a business out of school or take an accounting class in college.The one issue I had with the book was some of the pages were printed in a way that I could not read them. See picture.
