Some of the class was a bit confusing as to how far to take the solution process but other than that it was pretty succinct.

A surprisingly challenging course. I am an experienced bookkeeper and picked up this course to help explain concepts to a new employee but ended up refreshing my skills quite a bit. If any bookkeeper needs clarity on accrual-based entries especially, THIS is the course to take.

When I first started learning accounting, I had absolutely no clue whatsoever about what an adjusting entry was. After I read this book and did the exercises, I knew exactly what they were and how to explain it to others. I ended up being a professional accounting tutor at the university I was attending.
