[Jake Power · Rating 5 out of 5]

This textbook is well put together and gives the information to the student in a clear way. As I am learning this subject in college, this book has made it easier and more efficient to learn accounting. Not only is the book fantastic, but the online version is very useful as well. It gives an excellent summary of the chaos that highlights and bolds the important information needed to apply this to my daily life. I would recommend this book to any student in school or any individual that is looking to increase their knowledge in the business and financing area!
