Who it is for
New and aspiring bookkeepers, accounting students who want more practice, and small-business owners who keep their own books.
Not the right fit if
You need tax preparation, a step-by-step tutorial for one software package (QuickBooks, Xero), or advanced accounting beyond a first course. Not tax or legal advice.
Why it is different
- Worked examples line by line, so you can see how each entry is built, not just the answer.
- Answers are worked out, not just letters, so a wrong answer shows you where you went off.
- Both formats in one download: EPUB for e-readers and phones, and the print-layout PDF.
What is inside
- 12 modules. From what bookkeepers do and the accounting equation, through receivables, payables, reconciliations, payroll, adjusting entries and inventory, to the financial statements, closing the books and working as a bookkeeper.
- Practice in every module. Key terms, exercises and a quiz at the end of each one, with worked examples you can follow line by line.
- A practice set. One complete month of books for Harbor Lane Coffee, an invented small business, from the first entry to the statements.
- Final exam and answer key. A final exam, and every answer in the back, worked out, so you can check yourself.
- Glossary and chart of accounts. The terms, and the chart of accounts the examples use.

Common questions
What formats do I get, and what can I read it on?
Both, in one zip: an EPUB for e-readers and reading apps (Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo, most Android reading apps, and Kindle through Amazon's Send to Kindle, which accepts EPUB files), and the 272-page print-layout PDF for any computer, tablet or phone. There is no DRM. The download link shows right after payment and comes by email. The free sample is the first 10 pages of the PDF.
What's inside?
Twelve modules, from the accounting equation and debits and credits to reconciliations, payroll, adjusting entries, inventory, the financial statements and closing the books, plus a chapter on working as a bookkeeper. Each module ends with key terms, exercises and a quiz. A practice set walks through one complete month of books for an invented coffee shop, and a final exam tests everything. Every answer is worked out in the back.
Is this tax or legal advice?
No. It is general education in how bookkeeping works. Tax rates, payroll figures and filing rules change, so check current ones with the IRS, your state and a tax professional before you rely on them.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If it is not right for you, email us within 14 days of buying for a full refund, as the terms say. If a file will not open, reply to your order email and we will make it right.
