Understanding Your Accounts: For The Uk Business Owner

Understanding Your Accounts: For The Uk Business Owner

by PennyLowe (Author)

Synopsis

Penny Lowe is sometimes referred to as an unusual accountant. She would rather help and encourage the business owner to understand their figures and use them to manage and grow their business than keep accountancy as a hidden art. She has seen the transformation of many businesses and their owners as they start to realise that, like the internet, the accounts are a wealth of knowledge that can make the difference between success and failure. She runs an accountancy practice and training courses for accountants as well as business owners. This book is a way to tap into her knowledge if you are not lucky enough to work with her personally.
