Accounting Basics: Complete Guide

Thank You. The book is exactly what is described, 'A Complete Guide'. I haven't read it yet because my area is in the form of bookkeeping, but I believe that, down the road this book ill certainly assist me in the right path. The only disadvantage is that it's got American $$ symbols, and not £ English pound system. Nevertheless, its different, which helps.

Very basic terminology - just what was needed to refresh the basics of accounting

I took accounting classes 20 years ago, but didn't use in my career. Eventually, I needed accounting for my job and this was the perfect refresher-- easy to read, clear examples and self assessment questions with answers.

Great book for accounting!

I am a QuickBooks instructor and also teach business accounting and financial literacy. I used Accounting Basics: Complete Guide at Western Colorado Community College in our adult ed classes. The book was a tremendous help, and got good feedback from my students, especially for the self-assessment sections. The exercises were great. Analyzing and recording transactions is what my class liked best. I would recommend the book for educational professionals and career-technical students.

I like how simple the examples were presented and the exercises to re-enforce the learning objectives. But, in USA standards the accounting equation is different from this book where Equity switch places with Liabilities. I have to constantly reorganize my problem.

Accounting Basics help me understand accounting better than some of my accounting classes. Now I know and understand Debits and Credits and what accounts have debit balances and credit balances. I keep it in my desk draw as a cheat sheet for when I run into problems. It is clear and simple. Great stuff!!
