What our customer's say!

"Useless book", This book is utterly useless. I wouldnt recommend it.The table of contents seems interesting but it lacks clear depth. I would recommend Financial statements by Thomas Ittelson. Its quite a fulfilling book and covers the contents of this book.

"Not for beginners.", This book isn't for beginners, or even people who know the basics. If you're an absolute beginner, not much of this book will make sense. Some of it was helpful (about 30% of it), but overall i found it frustrating. And since i want to master accounting i will have to find another book on amazon (for a beginner, this time). Then maybe after that book i can come back and read this one and i will understand it. But you cant walk before you can crawl. And at the moment, a book teaching me how to walk is no good to me, i need one that will teach me how to crawl first.

True, the book title is not "Absolute beginners guide to accounting". So it may be harsh to rate it at 1 star. But if the author isn't targeting beginners, then this review should make no difference to book sales because i am only speaking to beginners (from a beginners point of view). However, the book title and sub heading does lead you to think it's going to teach you the basics... and that it is the easy way to learn them. (I.e. for beginners?)

I bought this book because of how many positive reviews are here. I did notice there was one negative review for the book before i bought it which said "not for beginners" but i figured the reviewer might have just been a big dummy, since so many others rated the book 5 stars. But, now, looking back over all the positive, five star reviews, i can see that most of them had some prior experience with accounting, and a few even say "it isn't for an absolute beginner". I should have listened. So this review applies to beginners only.

This would be good book if you just need a refresher course if you've learned a fair bit about accounting before and just need a reminder. But it is definitely not a good book to learn the basics of accounting if you don't know anything whatsoever about accounting. In fact, i even understood the basics of accounting before reading it, e.g. i know how to read a p + l statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, what accrual vs cash method is, etc, and i still didn't understand most of what was written in this book.

Bottom line: get another book if you're a beginner.

"Nice Entry Book", From someone with 4 accounting classes from 10 years ago under their belt, this was a great buy. Not exactly a complete course in the depths of accounting, this book explains most things that are extremely important to accountants. It also help bring back some of the things that I had forgotten. Definitely a good refresher book.

"Definitely for the beginner", This book was my first read as a new business owner to start to learn about accounting. It was helpful for me, but I'm glad I also purchased the "Accounting for Dummies" book as well. After reading "Accounting for non-Accountants" I felt prepared for something a little meatier, and the "for Dummies" title was a good next step. So the two together was a good move for my needs. I recommend the book as a great place to start... but don't expect to be really ready coming out at the end unless you tackle something a little more in-depth as well. This book did what it said it would... it got me started.

"User-friendly, reader will get more confident with this book", That's right! Dr. Label explains basic accounting in a such concise, simple way that YOU will get the confidence you need. Starting with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and ending with Generally Auditing Standards (GAAS), we follow the adventures of entreprenaur Sam and Solana Beach Bicycle Corporation. Important terms are in boldface type. Each chapter ends with a vocabulary review. With each definition, Dr. LAbel tells us how and why the term is used. Mathematical forumalas are demonstrated for the visual learner. Also, Dr. Label builds on the information he gives us. Nothing is ever "lost in space" after Dr. Label mentions it. For example, the Balance Sheet isn't just in one chapter, it's shown again and again, where relevant, throughout the book.

The appendix is financial statements of Station Casinos, Inc. Followed by an index.

"This book is awesome!", I am very happy with this book. I have recently returned to college (having just celebrated the 23rd anniversary of my high school graduation). I needed a text to help me study for the CLEP accounting test. This book was exactly what the Doctor ordered... Accounting for Non Accountants along with the CLEP Study Guide was all I needed to pass (on the first attempt) with flying colors. Might I also add that I absolutely HATE accounting and I did very poorly in my H.S. accounting class 20 + years ago. Dr. Label's explanations are simple and straigt forward. The step by step examples are easy to digest and make sense as they build on each other. Very easy to grasp the GAAP...

"A MUST-HAVE for anyone who wants a solid grasp of the fundamentals!", I love this book!

Topics to be pertinent, concise and very well developed. The introduction leading to the balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, and so forth are all in logical order - with one topic building on the previous. It's both an excellent cover-to-cover read as well as a great reference

"easy to understand", Usually "accounting" is intimidating for ordinary people but I like this book very much because it explains the concepts in a simple manner. It helps you feel comfortable looking at financial statements and making basic analysis. This will help me a lot as I set up my own business.

"Excellent Book for Non-Accounting People", This book is excellent for non-accountants. The chapters are well constructed with examples that are very easy to follow. I have worked in accounting for over 25 years and this is the best book that I have seen to help people with the basics of accounting.

I have bought several copies for my friends (non-accountants) as gifts and they all love the book. I highly recommend this book to anyone that does not have an accounting background. If accounting scares you then this book will help relieve your anxieties.


"Highly recommended", This is a great intro to accounting. It will probably take a couple days to a week to read, depending on your background, but you will come away with a pretty solid understanding of accounting fundamentals.

If you have been exposed to finances and business topics then you'll grock the material quickly. If you are brand new to business and accounting then it will be a bit tough - you'll have to pause and think about the explanations. It's worth it though. You'll learn more faster from this book than from a 1000 page book that covers the same material.
