Learned more about accounting then I had in class.

This is a collection of teachings. I thought the book ended, 'was it 3 times?', several times before its final ending. There was one surprise and was the best part of the listen.

I hate accounting

I hate accounting, and I’m having a really hard time understanding the concepts being taught; however, this is the best book on the topic I’ve heard so far.

This book is only okay.

This book is written as if you already know the basics.
Presented examples and key terms are not explained as it should be; it is just supposed you understand.

Not helpful as an audiobook

this audiobook is very hard to understand because of its format. Seems like the reader is just reading off numbers and equations at certain times, which for me and probably most people are better absorbed visually than through audio. The book also repeats itself about same terms.

Good Basic Book

This book goes over basic structures of businesses. One thing I learned that is so valuable is to keep business and personal financials separate. If you're just starting out, you'll want to read about the different roles accountants play in businesses.

tooo bad experience

It was not helpful as it was geared more toward electronics and software. I wanted a ledger and pen and ink.

Enjoyable book to listen and learn when at home.

Whether you’re a newcomer or a specialist, you still can learn many things from this book. This is the fourth book that I have picked up about Bookkeeping and Accounting, and feeling this much better than the last three.

good book

Lots of good information for new American businesses. However I did not like that it was read by a British gentleman. Too many pronunciation variances made it difficult to follow along at times. I had to rewind a few times just to figure out what he was saying. Also there were a lot of references to PDFs that were included with this book. However it's difficult to pull out the PDF when you're listening while at work or driving. So it made it difficult to follow along there as well.

Great information

I liked all the information and it flows well. It gradually gets more advanced. However, you can hear whenever this dude swallows and it gets on my nerves.

Definitely recommend

Bookkeeping and accounting have been two ideas that I regularly try to resist off.
This step-by-step guide was surprisingly straightforward to follow.
You can tell this author (Greg Shields) loves what he does.
