From Booklist
Most small-business owners understand the basic concepts of marketing and management and even economic principles, but many become nonplussed when faced with financial statements, tax forms, or charts of accounts. Sitarz is a business attorney who has written nearly a dozen books and legal guides for the layperson and the small-business owner. Unlike most introductory accounting texts, his guide provides practical explanations of the record-keeping and bookkeeping requirements faced by small businesses. He simplifies bank accounts, petty-cash procedures, cash reports, inventory statements, payroll, balance sheets, and tax forms. Sitarz provides a checklist of financial forms, and most of them can be photocopied from his book. Even an accounting novice will want to consider automating these procedures, and though Sitarz does not explain how to do so, he simply and clearly provides the underpinning for those who need it.

Not Even One Star
What a waste!
The title of this book should not be allowed to use the term "accounting." There are a plethora of very inexpensive computerized accounting systems for small businesses. I purchased Simply Accounting from Best Software and was looking for a text to supplement my knowledge to assist me in implementing the system. This mechanized accounting system from Best works beautifully and then I discover this accounting book uses "single-entry accounting" which in my opinion doesn't even exist except in the author's mind or can't be defined that I am aware of. This book comprises a system of manual forms to manage your business and as I said before, should not be able to use accounting in its title. At least label it something like "Use Manual Forms to Manage Your Business."
