Bookkeeping All In One For Dummies by Alex Epstein

A practical, beginner-friendly guide that walks readers through the fundamentals of bookkeeping and the full accounting cycle, explaining double-entry recordkeeping, journals and ledgers, chart of accounts, reconciliations, and the preparation and analysis of basic financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, cash-flow).
