P**S

Not a textbook, not for accountants, and certainly not an 'Ultimate Guide.'

Let's qualify; I was hoping for a guide-book (textbook quality) that I could offer as a reference and learning tool to my employees. What I got was a junior-high-school level handbook to double-entry accounting.This is no "ultimate" guide. If you're a non-accounting person, you *might* get some advice and/or a learning opportunity from this pamphlet (that's right -- it's a pamphlet, not a book). Else forget it, and utilize on-line resources and print them out.I've rarely been taken hook-line-and-sinker by a textbook publisher before; but then, these people aren't textbook publishers, they're hustlers.I returned this product, and Amazon gave me a refund. But I'm still out $4.25 for the return shipping. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Waste of Time: do NOT buy!

This book is worse than useless. It is too superficial and covers nothing in any meaningful depth to be useful at all. Rather than covering fundamental accounting topics, this book chooses to fill a lot of space with useless drivel such as various profiles of accountants including where they went to school. Worst of all, this book contains a ton of serious errors that detract from its trustworthiness. For example, it stated that the lower receivable turnover the better when in fact the opposite is true. It also stated that the cost of equity is equal to the dividend yield of the common stock. If that were true, then companies like Google that do not pay a dividend would have zero cost of equity and can raise unlimited funds by simply issuing lots of common stock? Everyone knows that is simply not true and that the cost of equity should be calculated using the CAPM formula. Do not waste your time with this book.

This was a Great Refresher

If you looking for the basic information on accounting than this is the publication for you. I have a BS in Accounting from the stone age of college. As I get ready to go into my own business; I decided to do a review of material on accounting. Greg's book was tremendous help. I look forward to reading the rest of his series. I would Highly Recommend this book.

Great Start

If you're considering becoming an accountant or want to understand why exactly you are paying your accountant, then this book is perfect -it provides a general overview of financial statements, analysis, and principles followed by the accounting practice.

Clear succinct principles

99 easy to read pages with clear examples illustrating financial statements and ratios. I read the whole book on a one hour flight, and had good comprehension.

Informative

There were some general spelling errors, but I feel more comfortable diving into a study of accounting than I was before reading.

Not Suitable for Australians!

Don't buy this book if you live or work in Australia because it won't be of any use to you.
