It's a great read for entrepreneurs looking to understand their numbers and make more informed decisions.
The writing style is not what you'd expect from a book about accounting, in the best way possible!
The book flows from one concept to the next, intricately weaving explanations and practical advice, building a framework to guide entrepreneurs towards building more robust businesses.

Highly recommend this for small business owners who still use the "Lick your finger and stick it in the air" test for their finances.
Funnily enough we used to look at sales as the be all, end all metric. Then when it came time to pay back expenses/debts that required profit we were totally dumbfounded why the accounts didn't match.
Being a creative type myself, Jason's way of writing and framing boring accounting theory into practical insights far exceeded what my business school lectures could achieve on the same topic.
