Radically Simple Accounting is an easy-to-read guide on the basics of accounting. Every day analogies
turn technical concepts into real-world examples that even the most novice business person
can understand and identify with. By using the chart of accounts to teach accounting,
students and business owners alike understand it immediately since they're
already familiar with bank and credit card accounts.
Radically Simple Accounting for Instructors
You want your students to do well and learn something of value. You also want good
evaluations and an interesting classroom experience. Although debits, credits, t-squares, and journal
entries are all part of learning accounting, none of these terms make much sense in the beginning.
On that premise alone, QuickBooks Accounting Software has become hugely successful, however
students are still challenged by the accounting part. Think of the book as the starting point for creating your
own creating your own lesson plan. Students who understand the material become engaged learners,
ask interesting questions, and give you an opportunity to showcase your talents.
"Madeline Bailey's Radically Simple Accounting keeps its promise to make bookkeeping
and accounting both enlightening and engaging, if not actually fun. Don't get me wrong...this is not
a lightweight book, but Madeline does what every good teacher does; she makes it possible to
learn a traditionally tough subject with ease! Radically Simple Accounting was a total bargin...a great
investment in both reading time and money."

Radically Simple Accounting for CPA's
Some clients require a huge amount of patience; sometimes too much. But instead of getting rid of
"problem" clients and investing in finding new ones, why not educate the clients you have now? Often they
don't understand your role as a CPA. Also, if you clients become familiar with the basics--such as whether
the accounting will be done on a cash or accrual basis -- it raises the bar on your practice.
When clients can provide you with clear financial reports, you're in a position to provide strategy, planning,
and guidance services. Before long, the "problem" clients could turn into your most lucrative, satisfying
engagements. You create a pipeline of future work, and fuel your business growth.
"I am a CPA in public practice and I highly recommend this book. I met Madeline at
a meeting of the Professional Society of Accountants and bought her book. I'm amazed at how simply
Madeline explains accounting for small businesses. She capitates the reader with charm and humor
while enlightening non-accountants with the basics necessary to run a business.
Chapter 3; "Liberation from Chaos" is exactly that! As a C.P.A's, we advise clients to do what they do best
---their speciality--and leave the accounting to us. With a clean set of books the small business
owner can easily manage the necessary bookkeeping to pass their files to us at year end. "

Radically Simple Accounting for QuickBooks Consultants
When clients are happy with your work, they're happy to pay you on time,
and recommend your services to others. If there's one thing that makes a client happy, it's their business model.
By going through their chart of accounts, one account at a time, you give them a chance to learn accounting according
to their business model. Or if you have a structured chart of accounts you want your clients to use,
stepping through it with the client will help you clarify the posting process.
By including this book in your practice, you'll increase client satisfaction and win more referrals.
"For those of us professionals in the accounting field, we have all read many
accounting reference books, however Madeline has a great writing style and easily teaches the
principals necessary. I wish it was one of my first books in accounting.
A must-read for anyone interested in the accounting field. "
