I’m quite enjoyed reading this. The author does a good job in writing a lively and accessible book about what many might consider to be a somewhat dry subject.

Used it to train self employed (do-it-yourselfers). I often train folk who want to use Quickbooks to bill their customers and write their checks to pay bills. So, some basic concept of bookkeeping language and process helps them stay on track – then I don’t have as much to “fix” come month end and reconciliation time.
