Default Accounting for small shop

Hello,

I am looking for a book that would cover accounting/bookkeeping for a very
small manufacturing business.


Years ago, I found this in my local library, and it helped me:

Not flashy, but very helpful.

Quickbooks, Peachtree, or even Excel spreadsheets can greatly simplify
everything you'll do. Having a local CPA do your taxes, at least at the
beginning, can also teach you a LOT!

I've found Quickbooks to be worth it's weight in gold in several small
ventures. The less time you spend on bookkeeping, the more time you can
spend on profitable activities.

Have fun,
Barry
