Very useful!
I have found this book to be very useful, especially in my bookkeeping business.
Excellent review of Acc’t’g 101. Haven’t taken the test yet but liked the material and format
Well organized, succinct
This is a great textbook. Truly one of a kind. In fact, all universities with accounting programs should make this required reading and a required resource. AIPB is the best I’ve ever seen – all of your books. Please consider adding personal income tax to your collection of tax books.
Tons of great information in this book
the Encyclopedia of Journal Entries is a great book. The book contains detailed information of specific accounts and or cases that I can utilize on my daily work. I believe this will be a great investment especially for professional bookkeeper or accountant.
Information is very good, but the navigation is a little difficult.
The 2 times I wanted to check on an entry, I could not find what I was looking for. I find this reference tool difficult to use.
Excellent reference guide. Very comprehensive.
Excellent book. Good investment
Presently clearly and concisely with adequate examples.
Great reference book. I’ve already used it to look up entries related to cost accounting and lease accounting. Very handy resource.
Very good
I refer to the Encyclopedia frequently in the preparation f clients’ financial statements. I also refer to it in illustrations when I am teaching bookkeeping/accounting classes. I consider it a very handy and excellent reference.
Have not used it a lot. When I did look up a question, the information was not helpful.
As a beginning bookkeeper these past couple of years I keep this book on my desk. It has saved me many times.
Love the book!
I’ve tried to use it a few times but have found it difficult to find the entries I need. For example, the owner of the company I work at sold some real estate and I was trying to figure out how to record it. Maybe when I know more it’ll be easier to find what I’m looking for.
Superbly useful and a great reference.
Not very helpful for day to day J/E questions
I am an accounting instructor in a 2-year business school and I purchased the reference book so our students would have a reference for journal entries which seemed to be more challenging. Although no one has have the opportunity to use it to it’s potential as of yet, I have looked the book over. The book is well written and organized in a structured manner. If I were in business for myself, I would consider the book to be a valuable asset. I would recommend the book to anyone. I have been pleased with all the books and how they have been written from AIPB. We use them for certification and review for our students at the end of their program and it has proved to be an extremely useful tool
Excellent learning tool.
This is a very good and useful go-to reference.I have used it a few times learning how to use this resource and in my studies on learning to be a bookkeeper. This was highly recommended by Sandy and she was right about it.
I like the Encyclopedia of Journal Entries. Although I am an accountant sometimes I need help with bookkeeping or journal entries and the Encyclopedia is a good resource.
Excellent but could not find how to handle gift cards allocated to employees at one vendor. Check written for one gross amount. But a minor quibble.
Timely reference — use it regularly. Glad to see the updated edition.
Great book, I like how everything is outlined and everything is very clear. Highly recommended
Pdf version would be a great add value to this book
Not what expected. Too complicated to research and use. Was expecting specific topics and the suggested journal entry. May I return it
