Managerial Accounting

The book is laid out very well and easy to read. I actually had to go buy the book from a local used book store because the seller took over two weeks to get it to me and my class had already started. The book I got from the seller wasn't in as good of a condition as I thought it would be. The one I got from our local store was like new and cost the same price.

Study Guide is great help

This book was a great help in understanding each chapter. The extra problems (with their solutions) were wonderful.

Great One

This was such a great experience. Book was reasonably priced, great condition and received it on time!!!

Very Practical Book,Classic

Jerry really knows how to help people learn accounting. Learning accounting is about practising but not reading. Reading helps but it won't solve problems. The one thing I really appreciate about this book is Jerry uses real life accounting practice within companies from different industries to illustrate every single chapter, within which all the accounting theories and principals naturally flow. You can see all the kinds of accounting problems with actual number and data being solved with the application of relevant accounting theories,principals and methods. You know how real things are done. I have read many accounting books, among which loads of books lack exercises for me to practice after I read certain chapter. But buying Jerry's book, you get two books, one for reading, and one for exams. Nearly half of the book is Exam Questions, which emulate my real exams quite well. I can't believe an accounting without good exercise questions is an book. If you seriously want to pass exams and know how the real accounting is done,this is the book for you!

A Big Dose of Managerial Accounting

This book is very good for teaching you managerial accounting. I used this book in college and found it to actually be of use, unlike a lot of college textbooks. You could read the chapter and be able to do the exercises at the end of the chapter.I mean, you know the types of books where they have questions and it's literally impossible to deduce how to answer the questions from the chapter. This book is not like that. It teaches you how to prepare specialized documents for internal business usage. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I felt that the information could be better organized as to make it easier to find.
