Bookkeepers' Boot Camp: Get a Grip on Accounting Basics

Bookkeepers' Boot Camp teaches you how to sort through your masses of information and paperwork, how to record what is important for your business, and how to use that information to grow your business for success!

Keeping the Books

Most entrepreneurs enter new ventures because they know something about products or retail or sales and marketing. Despite a burning passion for their new businesses, entrepreneurs will not succeed unless they learn to keep their financial records in order. While even the largest corporations can suffer from financial myopia, new business owners are especially challenged.

Bookkeeping & Tax Preparation

Bookkeeping And Tax Preparation is an excellent "how-to" book for starting and building a prosperous bookkeeping, tax, and financial services business. Bookkeeping And Tax Preparation shows how anyone with a flair for figures can become an expert in their own business, making the most of their capital investment in an entrepreneurial enterprise, find the right market for their services and then marketing their services effectively.

Schaum's Outline of Bookkeeping and Accounting

An ideal key to mastering bookkeeping and accounting essentials, this book also offers practical guidance. It teaches the real-world applications of the concepts discussed via a broad range of 724 answered questions and problems with detailed solutions. Students will also find abundant examples of different types of ledgers and worksheets and how they're used. The exams included, typical of those given at the high school and 2- and 4-year college levels, provide an excellent opportunity to check understanding and boost test performance.

Bookkeeping & Administration for the Smaller Business

Easy to read/understand explanation of bookkeeping and administration with ample illustrations, designed for the business owner, for those starting a business, and those changing careers or returning to the work force. All the information is relevant and to be used on daily operations.

Bookkeeping the Easy Way

As a CPA, I frequently encounter small businesses who have hired bookkeepers and accounting clerks with little to no experience. Thankfully, these people have been bright and eager to learn, and I am often asked if I could recommend a course or book on the subject. Your local high school will probably have adult education classes in bookkeeping. In addition, your community college will offer relatively inexpensive courses in accounting (though these courses can be quite challenging and too indepth for the bookeeper who simply wants to record cash receipts and disbursements and balance the check book). To recommend a book, I had to do a little research.

Small Business Bookkeeping System Simplified

This book only has a few business forms. Considering its low cost, it's not a bad book overall. I thought it would teach me how to do bookkeeping, but it basically just gives you a few business forms. I would not pay more than five dollars for it. The word "simplified" in the book's title is really what the book is all about entirely.

Rich Dad's Guide to Investing

The rich are different from the rest of us, if for no other reason than U.S. tax and securities laws allow them to invest in ways that keep us from catching up to them. That's why 90 percent of all corporate shares of stock are owned by 10 percent of the people. Kiyosaki believes it's possible for anyone to move up into that 10 percent, but it takes a different view of investing than most people have: it takes a plan to be a successful investor. And a plan is more than simply buying and selling, or collecting "assets" that bring in no cash and are thus more akin to liabilities. The way most people invest, "they might as well be pushing a wheelbarrow in a circle," he writes. A plan is "mechanical, automatic, and boring," a formula for success that has worked historically for most of those who've used it. Kiyosaki's "rich dad" (actually, the father of his best friend) tells him the simplest analogy is the game Monopoly: buy four green houses, trade them for one red hotel, and repeat until you become rich.
