Description

Finally, an Accounting Guide That Speaks Your Language.

As a contractor, you’re an expert in your trade, not in debits and credits. But to build a profitable and lasting business, you need to understand the financial side. Most accounting books are dense, confusing, and written for accountants—not for you.

We set a clear goal: explain the core concepts of accounting in a way a contractor can actually understand, in 25 pages or less. We succeeded.

This Isn’t Just a Book – It’s Your Financial Field Manual.

“Accounting For Non-Accountants” cuts through the jargon to give you the practical financial knowledge you need to take control of your business. While the core lesson is concise, this is a comprehensive toolkit designed specifically for the contracting world.
