Essentials of Accounting - Robert N. Anthony & Leslie K. Breitner
By Josh Kaufman
Accounting is the language of business, but it’s often difficult and tedious to learn. Essentials of Accounting teaches you accounting by having you actually work through the process of creating and analyzing accounting statements, a simple and relatively enjoyable way to learn an often confusing subject.
Essentials of Accounting is actually two books: a textbook and a workbook. The textbook contains samples of basic accounting statements: balance sheets, cash flow statements, journal entries, etc. The workbook contains a double-sided set of fill-in-the-blank worksheets that guide you through analysis of the statements in the textbook.
You’ll learn how to construct balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements, as well as understand debits, credits, assets, liabilities, equity, and depreciation.
After working through Essentials of Accounting, you’ll have a much better understanding of how businesses actually manage money.
