    I took some accounting classes, but the pace was too fast, and all I could do was memorize things in order to pass the class. But by reading this book with its colorful examples, I was able to increase my understanding of the functioning of accounting on a different level. It clarified things that I learned in the classes; although, I plan to reread this book until I am completely satisfied that I thoroughly comprehend the material.

  • Now I understand the whole concept!

    An excellent overview of "Accounting and Finance". Mark and Peter have come up with an unique way of teaching double- entry accounting and showing how the overall business process works in a fun parable. They give you real value for a very small price!
