More About the Author

I have been writing professionally since 1978 and fulltime since 1984. Previously, I was an accountant.
From 1978 to 1984 I wrote part-time and also was a consultant in the financial services industry. Once I began writing fulltime, I began in the magazine journalism field as a freelancer. In 1985 and 1986 I wrote approximately 500 articles in business, trade and professional magazines. I then switched over to books exclusively and have written over 70 books. These include my own as well as ghost-written projects.
Today I like to work on multiple books at the same time, normally two or three projects. Being able to switch back and forth keeps the writing process fresh and interesting. I generally write from 7 a.m. until noon and spend afternoons on research.

4.0 out of 5 stars Builders Guide to Accounting is for Builders!, July 16, 2000
By 
I think this book would be very helpful for those small to medium builders who have not come up with an acconting system, or need to improve it. It deals with many different topics of which builders need to be aware. In some cases, the book seems very elementary in its accounting terminology, then becomes technical in other cases. Some builders would not be able to follow the terminology in this book. I read this book from the perspective of an accounting professional who needed some basics in building accounting. There were some chapters that were very helpful for me, but others that dealt with such basic accounting, that I lost interest. However, this book is geared toward the builder, and I think it achieves its purpose.

1.0 out of 5 stars out of date topic & procedures, July 10, 2003
By 
This review is from: Builder's Guide to Accounting (Paperback)
Manual bookkeeping in lot of detail but we live in a computerized world. Better books show how to use QuickBooks and other automated programs, this one is designed for doing everything by hand. Outdated! Recommend looking for more up to date books with computer emphasis instead.
