A basic book about how bookkeeping helps a business. It is written from the perspective of an owner of a business and not an accountant, therefore, you will not learn anything, but the importance of bookkeeping, different accounting systems, a very basic overview (not showing the statement) of financial statements, and more.

The book is alright if you want to know the benefits of learning bookkeeping and/or hiring a professional bookkeeper. However, you will not learn anything on HOW to do bookkeeping.
