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.
