James Burton, dean of the Middle Tennessee State University, wrote the original edition of this book, and I joined him on this new edition. The book is designed for small business owners, targeting the need for operational and capital budgeting, cash flow planning, and the analysis of finances and operations. Jim's writing is exceptionally clear and easy to understand.

This book is essential for any small business owner, manager or accountant’s business tool kit. This easy to read book distills complex subject matter into meaningful and understandable information and is a great refresher course for those deeply involved in the accounting and financial matters of a small business. The book contains many examples that can be used immediately in daily operations to improve the quality of information for better decision making. The book provides those involved in small business the framework to manage what they measure. -- Jim Bologa, CFO of Daticon, Inc.
Here is a "must read" for anyone owning or starting a small business. This is not a "Small Business for Dummies" book, and not a business school MBA text. This book is "Just Right", filled with proven techniques and sound strategies to guide you through the complex maze of critical accounting and financial issues. There are also many ready-to-use forms, checklists, sample spreadsheets and calculations showing practical applications of real-world examples. These are not the dreaded debit/credit type stuff in accounting texts. These are easy to understand examples. Highly recommended, 5 stars for this book. -- Bob Snare
Eminently accessible, this book is a must-read for the entrepreneur, both new and established alike. Organizationally, the work flows smoothly and logically in a way that is valuable for the start-up as well as the veteran needing a refresher on specific aspects of the small business accounting/financing picture. I found particularly useful the rich resourcefulness that Messr’s Burton and Bragg brought to the table in compiling the essential check-off lists for every conceivable corner of the entrepreneur’s financial realm from fraud prevention to financing options. As a small business owner myself, I was well-pleased with the real-world guidance and instant “useability” this book offers. -- David Struthers, J.D., Facilitator/Trial Lawyer
Once again, Bragg has turned his discerning eye and formidable talents on a topic and the results are outstanding. Both those new to the business and the long established entrepreneur will benefit greatly when he joins forces with E. James Burton to produce this outstanding work. -- Mary Schaeffer, Editorial Director of Accounts Payable Now & Tomorrow
