Accounting Demystified, 2nd Edition, Paperback

Accounting information and tips you can take to the bank

You may not know the first thing about debits, credits, and cash ratios now--but when you're done with this book, you'll be able to juggle profits and losses with your eyes closed and read any balance sheet like it's a good novel.

Accounting DeMySTiFieD, Second Edition, is a curriculum-based, self-teaching guide that makes learning accounting easier than 1-2-3. With graphs, plain-English explanations, and real-life examples, it starts with the fundamentals--such as basic financial terms, balance sheets, and cash flow statements--and eases you into the more complicated stuff, like adjusting entries, double entry bookkeeping, profit ratios, and liquidity.

Completely updated and revised to cover finance terms, theories, and best practices, Accounting DeMySTiFieD teaches you the ins and outs of accounting in no time at all.

This fast and easy guide features:
