Builder's Guide to Accounting

Summary: Builders Guide to Accounting is for Builders!
Review: I think this book would be very helpful for those small to medium builders who have not come up with an acconting system, or need to improve it. It deals with many different topics of which builders need to be aware. In some cases, the book seems very elementary in its accounting terminology, then becomes technical in other cases. Some builders would not be able to follow the terminology in this book. I read this book from the perspective of an accounting professional who needed some basics in building accounting. There were some chapters that were very helpful for me, but others that dealt with such basic accounting, that I lost interest. However, this book is geared toward the builder, and I think it achieves its purpose.

Summary: out of date topic & procedures
Review: Manual bookkeeping in lot of detail but we live in a computerized world. Better books show how to use QuickBooks and other automated programs, this one is designed for doing everything by hand. Outdated! Recommend looking for more up to date books with computer emphasis instead.
