Accounting All-in-One For Dummies, with Online Practice, 2nd Edition (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))

Great reference material

Great reference for my small business Accounting needs.

I have been working as an accountant for many years and I like to think I am good at my job. Recently, I have been applying for jobs on Indeed. Turns out they have tests with accounting questions on some job postings. I think I bombed the first couple because 1) just because I do accounting doesn't mean I do every aspect of accounting and 2) the accounting software hides a lot of underlying details and I don't really think about them on a regular basis.So I bought this book. I spent a couple evenings skimming the book re-familiarizing myself with accounting vocabulary and such. After just a couple evenings, I aced those tests and started getting interviews.Will this book teach you accounting if you don't know accounting? I have no idea.But if you already know accounting and it has been many years since you took accounting classes, I absolutely recommend this book to refresh your knowledge.

In the midst of an impossible graduate accounting course with a professor I would rather not see ever again, this book saved my GPA. So easy to understand and so many examples that made it easy to learn even for a non-accounting brain. However, this didn’t come with the online practice module for me which was disappointing.

this would be a good book to give to a 12 year old. maybe they would find it challenging. I've read other "for dummies" books and they have been fine. This one though, is literally, "for dummies". Reading this feels like an assault to my intelligence, meager as that may be. Flipping through the pages, I can barely stay focused from one paragraph to another due to its simplistic unengaging manner. It is presented in a way reminiscent of how one would use a "child speaking voice" to a very small kid, when they explain why they shouldn't do something etc.Also, the author constantly references other parts of the book. There will be a paragraph, then at the end it will say along the lines of "which is in greater detail in book 3, chapter 2". The author will do this after almost every single paragraph. as if to remind you he is so accomplished as to call one child's book "9 books", and wants you to remind you of that constantly.All in all, this book will teach you less then the first chapter of an actual college level accounting textbook will teach you. It is a complete waste of money, time, and paper. I gave it 2 stars, only because reading this sad excuse of book made me purchase an actual textbook on accounting.all in all, if you have a middle school child you'd like to expose to some accounting, maybe their less developed mind would be able to be engaged from this.

I had to take accounting two and it had been some time since I had taken accounting so this book was very helpful in helping me get ready for my class.

As someone trying to manage there own books this was informative in pointing me in the right direction and telling you where to build from there

I got this hoping to use it as a sort of text book for a home-schooled high school age child. Everyone should have the basics of accounting in hand, after all! But this is way too advanced for him, and even for me as a functioning adult. It presumes a lot of basics with terms and such are already on board. So while it looks very thorough and covers lots of material, it isn't really made to teach you from scratch.

This book is written for a US audience and many of the processes and techniques are wrong for a UK accountant

Half of the whole book 7 has messed up graphs and figures. I would expect maybe one-off mistake, but not the entire book 7 to have so many mistakes. It’s like “look at the figure 3-8 about contribution margin”, and the figure 3-8 shows debt amortization instead.I assume editors did not do their job properly?

A bit complicated for our teenage son to read before work experience.. but it definitely covers everything an accountant should know and ideal for anyone running a business.

I did not do so well when I took accounting in school, this book helps me clarify that.

Nice bookGot it for ₹1419Book slightly damaged because of careless packaging.
