A Quick and Dirty Introduction to Accounting,
In brief, Dr. Label’s 10 Minute Guide… is a godsend for those of us who are ‘MBA challenged’. Written in simple, easy to understand language, the book opens up the world of accounting to those who have no formal training in business. The Ten Minute Guide… serves as a useful guide and reference for those who want to keep their own books, or to better understand the finances of another business.
Dr. Label skillfully introduces the four key areas of accounting- GAAP rules, the balance sheet, the income statement, and the cash flow statement. For each area, he painstakingly defines the components that go into each area and the relationships between the individual components in an area as well as the relationships between different areas. He broadens his explanation of each area by introducing simple to follow examples of their use throughout the text. Although most of the book’s emphasis is on the accounting required by sole proprietorships or partnerships, Dr. Label does extend the concepts to the stock corporation, and devotes two chapters to the analysis of a corporation’s financial statements.
In addition, Dr. Label takes the reader through audits and auditors, the basics of keeping a general journal, the use of various financial statements for short and long term analysis, and the use of budgeting in business. Finally, one chapter covers some basic information on the internet and accounting (a subject that is a book unto itself), and Dr. Label thoughtfully provides a comprehensive and understandable glossary of key terms for quick reference.
Although the book is small, it is packed with a lot of useful information which is presented in a clear and succinct manner. It serves as an excellent springboard into the world of accounting, and provides a firm basis for understanding financial data and making good judgements based on such data. After reading this book, one can safely and confidently converse with an accountant and walk away with one’s wallet full of cash still in one’s pocket. Imagine that!

|Not for beginners,
This book was maddening. I’d find myself re-reading a paragraph over and over, 5 or 6 times, attempting to translate its meaning. Sentences like “The Income Statement reports this activity on the accrual basis and the Statements of Cash Flows reports it on the cash basis” lie throughout the book. Terms like ‘accrual basis’ and ‘dividends’ are suddenly announced, without any prior explanation. I bet the author is a great CPA, and extraordinarily smart. But there is no way this book was tested the way it should’ve been: by handing it to an otherwise savvy business person with no accounting experience, and WATCHING them read the book to see if it made any sense, and where they got hung up. If you’re a real beginner, this won’t be an easy answer to your questions.

|Worth the cost…,
This book is a great refresher. It is easy to read and works examples in a logical step-by-step fashion that non-accountants/non-accounting-majors may need. This book makes a great supplement to formal accounting training (introductory accounting coursework). It would also be very helpful for someone who needs an accounting refresher (like business education majors who plan to take the Praxis II). Check out the table of content to determine if it meets your needs.

|Review of Schaum’s Principles of Accounting,
Handy little book. Have a 2-inch thick accounting text and use this Schaum’s paperback to make sense of it all. If you are taking Principles of Accounting or Financial Accounting or Accounting 101, this book is perfect for you. I am not the brightest lad and this book helps me to “get it.” Inexpensive and succinct. Ah, if only I could find a woman like that!
