This is a very good and useful go-to reference.I have used it a few times learning how to use this resource and in my studies on learning to be a bookkeeper. This was highly recommended by Sandy and she was right about it.

I like the Encyclopedia of Journal Entries. Although I am an accountant sometimes I need help with bookkeeping or journal entries and the Encyclopedia is a good resource.

Excellent but could not find how to handle gift cards allocated to employees at one vendor. Check written for one gross amount. But a minor quibble.

Not what expected. Too complicated to research and use. Was expecting specific topics and the suggested journal entry. May I return it

It is still somewhat confusing. But it helps a lot to have such very concise table of contents and index.

An excellent reference, I rely on it. As a managerial consultant, I’m sometimes at a lo, as to basic accounting entry. The Encyclopedia of Journal Entries allows me to audit, make, and correct journal entries; that are, without a doubt, compliant.

The reference book is exactly what I was looking for. I work at a small business and usually have the same entries; but every once in awhile we have a transaction completely out of the ordinary. This book has really helped me with those.

I really enjoy the encyclopedia and what it has to offer as a guide. Very useful tool for any bookkeeper. recommended for anyone to have. The bad thing about the encyclopedia is that I found it very hard to read. Even though the entries were explained it seemed to me that the explanation of the entry and the example of the entry are not defined. I was expecting to see the entries separated by being illustrated on columnar paper. In this way the bookkeeper could see how it would look on the form. I think it is good for an experienced person but to use it as a tool for someone with limited knowledge or still in the early stages of the profession it is hard to understand. I would pay more money to see the entries illustrated in color as if I were looking at an actual journal page. Overall excellent tool for finding what needs to be done, but making it a little easier on the eyes with entries that look like they are on journal paper would take this reference guide to a new level.

I was a bit diappointed in the book. I did send a message right after I received it stating what my issues were with it. I am concerned about the errors I found on the “How to use the Encyclopedia” page. The page numbers and sections were wrong. It also mentioned a Not-for-Profit section which is not in the book I received. If there are error right in the beginning how can I trust what the rest of the book contains. I don’t know if I just received a poorly put together book or if this is the standard. While I have used the book for a few entries, I do wonder if I can trust what it says so I have verified the entries with other sources for accuracy.

I thought it was a very well laid out book. I found it informational and a good quick source when verifying how to process/post an entry. The size is perfect, not to big where it is burdensome on my desk. I like that it is a paperback.
