5.0 out of 5 stars Good, solid advice, March 15, 2006

This review is from: Accounting and Financial Management for Residential Construction (Paperback)
Despite some "sexist" references to everyone being female in this book, it certainly provided me with the information I was looking for in a format that was easily managed and a good read. Since I am not an accounting type, I think Emma really met the challenge when she wrote a book that I found easy to follow.

This review is from: Accounting and Financial Management for Residential Construction (Paperback)
Well written and easy to understand but a bit on the simplistic side for anyone who has been working in the industry for an extended length of time.
