Numbers can be difficult to process and nerve wracking to deal with — a deadly combination that will have you scratching your head most of the time. It’s a good thing, though, that numbers and information are now presented in an easy-to-decipher language.
Well, difficult or not, there are plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t ever give up on accounting no matter how much it makes you want to, particularly if you’re part of a business. Some of them include the fact that accounting:
- helps you systematically maintain business records,
- aids in preparing financial statements,
- lets you compare the results of the current year to the previous year and analyze the changes,
- helps in the decision-making process,
- provides relevant information to everyone involved in the business, as well as other parties,
- helps in matters of taxation,
- and helps in the valuation of a company or a business.
If you still aren’t convinced that accounting can be easy, then perhaps the best books on accounting will change your mind. Unlike regular textbooks, the ones that are part of my roundup offers unique and effective approaches to learning beginner, intermediate, or advanced accounting.
This time around, accounting won’t be boring you to death. You’ll know exactly what to do with the numbers, figures, and super detailed information presented to you, and learn to love accounting.
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or AICPA defines accounting as a tool that allows you to record, classify, and summarize, in terms of money, and in a significant manner, events and transactions that are, at the very least, of financial character, and interpret such results.
