Financial Accounting For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))

As described

I faked my way into being an accountant thanks to this book.

The best way to describe the book is to learn the main point of financial accounting in about 5 hours. There are multiple ways to read or listen to the book. I selected both to read as well as get the audio book to listen to while I was busy doing other things.

Easy to use Very Helpful in class I am taking in Financial Accounting.

Bough this book as a supplement to my accounting textbook, to help understand the concepts better. I am a huge fan of the Dummies books, they are my go to very frequently because of their format and knack at explaining concepts, etc. Apparently, financial accounting is their kryptonite. This book was just as bad, if not worse than, my textbook, and many of the apparently (according to my textbook) common accounting terms and practices weren’t even in there. (Looked in the index, not there) Even the format of the book doesn’t feel as “welcoming” and accessible as the Dummies series usually does. If Dummies can’t make accounting fun, I don’t know if it can be done.

There is a major crack in the spine in the back and the front was creased, so there is no way this book was damaged during shipping, it was used when it left.

This topic could be covered more concisely.It would have been nice to see more detailed examples with size by side narrative.
