    Although I have never needed to track inventory for the companies I have worked for I would feel confident to take on a client with inventory.

    All of the AIPB continuing education books are very well done. Easy to understand verbage and a lot of examples and problems to work through. The two quizzes at the end of each chapter are extremely helpful by making it another tool to test how well you are understanding the subject matter.
