Small Business Accounting (Teach Yourself)

Small Business Accounting gives the practical guidance you need to keep the books and prepare accounts for the small business, without overwhelming the reader with accountancy jargon. Small Business Accounting is a jargon-free joy for the small business owner or manager, providing practical examples of real businesses to show the reader, step by step, how to record each transaction. This book does not assume that you know anything at all about business records and accounts and gives a system for real businesses to be operated by real business people who want a simple, easy, and—above all—quick system of book keeping. Forget about debits and credits, journal entries, ledgers, and day books. If you can read a bank statement this book will teach you how to prepare accounts, make cash flow forecasts, and prepare a budget. And when you do need to use an accountant, it tells you how best to find a reliable one.
