This book literally put me to sleep. Maybe if I had more of a background or interest in accounting, it wouldn't have been so bad. This was required reading for a conference I attended a couple of weeks ago.
I thought this book was very textbooky, and at times, over my head. I did like the key points and questions for review at the end of each chapter. However, I do wish the answers were available at the end of the book. The CD of example templates included with the book, was useful in the learning/reading process, however, all of these templates are already set up on Quickbooks.
This book seemed geared towards larger companies and manufacturers. I felt that only about 1/3 of the book was applicable to our small business!
