5 out of 5 stars The Numbers Tell The Story   January 29, 2010

When running your business you really need to run your numbers. Keeping on top of your cash flow, income statement, accounts receivable and other reports will make the difference between a well run business and one that's not.

I have always been a shoot-from-the-hip kind of guy when it comes to running my business until someone smarter than me keyed me into the numbers game. That is why my most important 'advisor' is my CPA and not my banker or attorney.

The title claims I can keep my own books and manage my finances without an C.P.A. but I still like to use one to review and make sure I'm on track. Sort of like creating your own agreement, but having your attorney review it.

I think most small business owners could really use a refresher course on finance and accounting. This is just the book for that. It's easier to read and understand than most and makes sense to me.

Even if you are just thinking about starting a business - this should be one of your 'must study' topics.

Get it --- read it --- follow it --- you won't be sorry!

5 out of 5 stars Finally someone who understands   May 6, 2004

I have been in business for the past ten years and have never truly understood or cared about keeping good records. The book breaks down accounting into real life experiences, finally something that I can understand.
It's a must read for all small business people and would recommend it to anyone considering going into business for themselves



4 out of 5 stars recommended for business owners   May 6, 2004

If you are looking for a resource to help you understand the nuts and bolts of small business accounting, this is an excellent start. The book covers the important issues that business owners need to be aware of without adding a lot of fluff.

**** Recommended for all small business owners looking to understand their finances ****
