Accounting fundamentals in a compact guide

Mike Piper’s guide organizes introductory accounting around the concepts and tasks used to understand financial records. It covers the accounting equation, financial statements, journal entries, and the distinction between cash and accrual accounting, alongside inventory, cost of goods sold, depreciation, and amortization. Separate sections address financial ratios and the assumptions behind Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The breadth makes the book a concise overview of core accounting topics, with attention to both how figures are prepared and how they are interpreted.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginners seeking an introduction to accounting concepts and terminology.
  • Small-business owners or students looking for a compact overview of financial statements and accounting methods.
