Mastering Adjusting Entries, for me, was a foundational financial accounting book. It clearly showed the process of utilizing the trial balance to generate financial statements. It’s an easy read and full of great examples/quiz questions. I really like the structure of the AIPB books; concise, easy to understand chapters with examples and plenty of problems to work in the form of 2 quizzes after each chapter. It’s hard not to learn the content!
