“Keeping the Books” provides a comprehensive hands-on tool that will help business owners:

• Set up an effective bookkeeping system and keep the right records.
• Prepare projected and historical financial statements that show where business is headed and where it stands at any given moment.
• Analyze cash flow and develop important financial benchmarks with ease.
• Maintain records required to prevent tax time disasters and maximize profits.
