Same as the other book, Mastering Double-Entry Bookkeeping. I found it very informative, but I did not like that when I download the books, it downloads as a solid graphic and not as a graphic with text. This didn’t allow me, who has vision problems, to listen to them with a text reader as well as reading. It took me a lot longer than normal to process the book than I would have otherwise. It would also be nice if videos and other interactive demonstrations were provided with the course. Very limited to be online in book format.

I was pleasantly surprised at my score! The test was difficult which I appreciated because I felt that if it had been too easy, I might not have learned enough or that there would be gaps in my knowledge on this subject.

The information was presented in a concise and easy to understand manner. However, an accompanying CD would really boost this course. Said CD would be a fitting substituted for a lecture.

I am new to bookkeeping only about 2 1/2 years experience, we use QBO and QBD software. This book really helped me to learn the basics with debits and credits. Software does this work for you and now that I have much better understanding of bookkeeping I can use this information to make the software work better for my clients.

The contents are great. Only one confusing part (as I’ve been doing bookkeeping a bit), CPA&Auditors use the expression “deferred revenue” instead of “Revenue collected in Advance” or “Unearned revenue” in real practice. It would be nice to add “deferred revenue” expression in your course. Or, my understanding wrong ?

I really like the illustrations and practice exams at the end of each chapter. I wouldn’t mind going through more practice exams. I’m just about to take the exam at the end of the book, and I feel confident this book has prepared me for it.

I found this a little ha, I had trouble with the use of the word debit and credit. I was under the impression that should only apply to the journal entry and did get mixed up when it also used to the explain the transaction.

Absolute garbage and the customer service sucks. Spent 60 dal’s one ONE PART of the entire book and they refused to return the money when I said I’d rather buy the entire book from amazon. Never buying this again.

This is definitely a great refresher especially after several years of doing accounting. With everything electronic today sometimes we forget the basics. I take the quizzes several times throughout to ensure I know material
