Accounting Principles: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Accounting
Accounting is about so much more than crunching numbers. Accounting impacts the lives of everyone, from the average person who does a budget every month to CEOs looking for the best way to invest in their business. It is a truly useful skill that benefits anyone who learns it. But, why is accounting so important?
Established accounting principles make it possible for financial entities to communicate information. Homeowners and taxpayers can also use it when budgeting for the year, either to determine their own personal net worth or for financial planning. It is important that people in many job positions be familiar with reading and understanding financial reports. From business owners to CEOs to marketing managers and banking officials, there are many people whose jobs can benefit from learning accounting.
Many people lead busy lives once they start their career and you may not have time to go back to college or hundreds (or thousands) of dollars to spend on an accounting class. This book is designed for those people, as well as for students that may need a little more help to understand their accounting class.
One of the biggest obstacles to overcome in accounting is understanding the terminology. This book will break down important terms and principles in a way that is easy for the average person to understand. As you read about the principles of accounting, you’ll find clear examples that will help you apply the principles to accounting work, whether preparing statements or interpreting. Finally, we’ll discuss how you can use the principles you’ve learned about to prepare financial statements, complete the accounting cycle and determine ratios that will tell you more about what is going on with a business.
Though we’ll focus heavily on the principles, this book is the perfect starter’s guide to learning everything you need to enter the field of accounting. Complete with detailed examples and information, you’ll be an expert in no time.
Thank you for downloading and happy reading!

There were quite a few typos, and clunky sentences. There were a couple math errors that I corrected with a pencil.
The content itself is fine, if vague and unclear. I had to go to other sources to make sure I understood what the content was trying to say.
Don't use this book as your main reference point.

This was really dry and I wish there was some way to make it more “fun” but I‘m not sure you can do that. This book goes over the very basic principles of accounting and what they mean with general and factual examples.

This breaks down all the basics about accounting principles. It is like a light version of a textbook, probably more useful for readers who want to refresh on the topic.
