Rohit Srivastava ，

A very short summary。

Matthew Borton ，

Great Quick RefresherVery good for what it is: a quick overview of accounting。 I took some accounting courses back in college and this is exactly the refresher I need as I start my own business。

Sara McClellin-Helmer ，

So good！！I’ve been searching for something to explain simple accounting concepts & basic statements needed for my business。 This was perfect！ So easy to follow！

Luis Cancilleri ，

This is a really good book。Even though I'm studying a career in business and I've seen accountability I want to see what else could be in this book， or anything new whatever。 To my concern， I haven't learned anything new but I learn the terminologies in English and see that Mike made an outstanding work condensing and explaining in 100 pages or Less A LOT accountability， of course， this goes much further， but as he says， this is a basic introduction， and he did it very very good job。 This is a really good book。Even though I'm studying a career in business and I've seen accountability I want to see what else could be in this book， or anything new whatever。 To my concern， I haven't learned anything new but I learn the terminologies in English and see that Mike made an outstanding work condensing and explaining in 100 pages or Less A LOT accountability， of course， this goes much further， but as he says， this is a basic introduction， and he did it very very good job。 。。。more

A beginners guide to understanding the principles of accounting， very informative。

David ，

Decent book for what it is （just a short overview） but without specific examples， case studies， or applications it's difficult to absorb in a meaningful way Decent book for what it is （just a short overview） but without specific examples， case studies， or applications it's difficult to absorb in a meaningful way 。。。more

Clear， concise， essentialThis is an excellent book for those who want to get a good overview of accounting without getting overwhelmed by technical terms and details。 An excellent help so that you can understand what your accountant is telling you。 Written in a very pleasant and friendly way， too。

Not quite what I was looking for。

Hisham Ahmed ，

The author did as exactly as he claimed he was going to。 A brief rigorous presentation of very fundamental concepts of Accounting laid over 100 pages！A book that serves its purpose is a good book！ This book certainly served its purpose。

Abhi Yerra ，

Not a great introduction but a great refresher。

Adam B ，

Brilliant easily digestible intro into accounting！

Avishay Kadouri ，

Great book。 Explain the basics of accounting very good， it will help you to read important documents like income statement， balance sheet and more！ I enjoyed to read this book and will definitely benefit from this new knowledge in future！

Steven R。 ，

A Nice Primer or ReintroductionWhether you’ve never been exposed to accounting principles or you haven’t used them in years， this is a great primer。 I suspect most companies would benefit from having all officers， and maybe directors too， read this book。

Dipesh Pandey ，

Just what I needed for learning Accounting。

J King ，

Nice and simple for a beginner like me。

Ken Daniells ，

High level （necessarily） but very helpful primer in the basics of GAAP and general accounting principles。

Anthony ，

I was primarily interested in this book to learn about the very basics i。e。 balance sheet， income statement， cashflow。 In addition I learned about liquidity ratios and methods used for larger businesses。 Great way to learn the basics， a YouTube video might suffice now adays， unless one wants less screen time。

Robert Keegan ，

One for my library concise not too much jargon able to read in a short frame did bookkeeping in school so had a background in some concepts good refreshet

Easy-to-read book explaining accounting at a beginner's level。Mike Piper's "Accounting Made Simple" is exactly what it says。 The book contains the very basic accounting fundamentals with short definitions of accounting terms as well as super simple examples。 This book is meant to teach the bare bones of accounting to the reader so that they will at least have an idea behind it and apply some of the ideas to their assignments。Although the simplicity of the examples provided to back up the account Easy-to-read book explaining accounting at a beginner's level。Mike Piper's "Accounting Made Simple" is exactly what it says。 The book contains the very basic accounting fundamentals with short definitions of accounting terms as well as super simple examples。 This book is meant to teach the bare bones of accounting to the reader so that they will at least have an idea behind it and apply some of the ideas to their assignments。Although the simplicity of the examples provided to back up the accounting terminologies is the book's strength， I would say that its weakness is the lack of real life accounting case studies。 I understand that the author may have chosen to opt out of adding real scenarios for the sake of simplicity， however if there were at least simplified examples of such scenarios then the readers would have had a better opportunity to show interest in more advanced accounting techniques later on。Nevertheless， "Accounting Made Simple" is still a good solid read and ideal for people who want to have a core understanding of accounting。 It is better to know some of the subject than none at all， and I really appreciate that Mr。 Piper created a good starting point for readers。 I can see this book becoming a nice little handbook for core beginner's accounting in the future; it is worth adding next to the other must-read business books on your list。 。。。more

Lea ，

Excellent。 Exactly what it says， and well done， too。

Blvck ，

Quick and to the point。 Simple enough I could understand the basics of each concept and the basics and importance of accounting yet detailed enough to let me know I should hire a professional accountant who understands it perfectly。 I got the information I needed， It's quick to read but It's not an easy read nor is it hard。 Combining math and learning new vocabulary at the same time makes the comprehension of this book a 3/5 for me along with how boring the book is。 There's examples of why to us Quick and to the point。 Simple enough I could understand the basics of each concept and the basics and importance of accounting yet detailed enough to let me know I should hire a professional accountant who understands it perfectly。 I got the information I needed， It's quick to read but It's not an easy read nor is it hard。 Combining math and learning new vocabulary at the same time makes the comprehension of this book a 3/5 for me along with how boring the book is。 There's examples of why to use different methods of accounting to help visualize and simplify the teachings but it's still a boring book。 。。。more

The_Crawfords ，

Covers the absolute basics but that is the point of this book。 He could have elaborated more on Debits and Credits to clarify them。 Great book for a vary initial introduction to accounting。 It left me realizing how little I really know。

Artem Lebedev ，

Very brief， hopefully gave mea basic understanding of accounting concepts。 Balance， credit， debit， double entry， pnl， owners equity and the purpose of closing books。

Ethar ，

It's a great book for everyone who has no previous knowledge with accounting。 The language is simple and there's no much text so you can't get bored or distracted by the literature。 I wish it had more examples though and practice problems with answers in the back or something。 It's a great book for everyone who has no previous knowledge with accounting。 The language is simple and there's no much text so you can't get bored or distracted by the literature。 I wish it had more examples though and practice problems with answers in the back or something。 。。。more

An MP Simplistic Approach to Accounting （AMS） （AEI100POL）MP has presented his approach to simple accounting。 In this instance he is absolutely correct。 As a programmer who began programming in Fortran and COCOL ， which means， if I remember correctly， Common Ordinary Computer Operation Language。 I have wasted many hours trying to understand the simplistic vernacular of the Principle of Accounting and being able to form the necessary instructions to establish a computer accounting program。 This is An MP Simplistic Approach to Accounting （AMS） （AEI100POL）MP has presented his approach to simple accounting。 In this instance he is absolutely correct。 As a programmer who began programming in Fortran and COCOL ， which means， if I remember correctly， Common Ordinary Computer Operation Language。 I have wasted many hours trying to understand the simplistic vernacular of the Principle of Accounting and being able to form the necessary instructions to establish a computer accounting program。 This is an excellent read for the genre。。。。。DEHS 。。。more
