This audiobook is intended for people who want to know something about the fundamentals of financial accounting without becoming an accountant. Many people are in this position: small business owners, employers, employees, stockholders, investors, and many, many more. Most of these folks do not need a deep understanding of accounting; they just need to learn what accounting is and how they should be using it. Just as important, they need to understand what accountants are talking about in their reports. They must learn the vocabulary and the most important terms. If you are one of those, you have found the right book for you.

We will examine this subject in some detail, discussing accounting fundamentals, the various areas where accounting professionals work, and the information they produce. We will also examine the measures and ratios that accountants use to analyze an organization's performance and the important relationship between time and money. The fact that information is the product of accounting will remain foremost in this book.

Here are just some of the topics that are discussed within this audiobook:

  • Accounting is Different From Bookkeeping
  • Understanding the Vocabulary

Good Tips

This book offers some great tips. It was very helpful to me because I was able to learn some new info along the lines of payroll, should I outsource some work. If you're thinking of starting your own business and need some quick reference, in addition to professional accountant tips, this would be a great resource.

Just what I needed

I have zero accounting knowledge and this book was just the right amount of help for me. The narrator was easy and clear to listen to and I thought everything was logical.

Not too good

This book may be fine in printed format, but I don’t think it lends well to audio format. I wouldn’t recommend this book even if it’s on sale.

Really easy to understand, good for a refresh!

This audible breaks down what you need to know about business accounting. I have in mind that this is audible for non-accountants and is light on math and huge on theory and practice.

Easy to understand

Great examples and a brief narrative of the historical figures. Not only a coffee table book, but each chapter of the section is easy reading with an in-depth knowledge of those figures.
