Ask HN: Good Basic Accounting Book for Entrepreneurs

4 pointscgherb9112 comments

I'm a engineer by training doing a start up. I find myself suddenly in charge of our companies books. We're extremely small and I'm managing alright with a single accounting class and Quickbooks software. Please recommend any blogs, books, or sites that can "upgrade" my accounting knowledge and keep our books straight for investors to come in.

get yourself an outside bookkeeper and another accountant.

That's really a total waste of time and effort, also you will not be maximizing your use of tax breaks and such. I know this is not what you are asking for but some things you are better off outsourcing, this is one of those, same with legal stuff (though a bit of basic knowledge certainly helps).

Thanks for your input!
