This is the only budgeting book I will ever need." -Thomas Farrell Director of Business Development, Ernst & Young LLP "Total Business Budgeting goes beyond presenting a set of basic budgeting guidelines and applications-along with helpful exhibits and forms-for all segments of business operations.

budgets for beginers,
This review is from: Total Business Budgeting: A Step-by-Step Guide with Forms, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
this book provides a thinking basis and initial insight into the budget process.
It will take people on a beginers level and upgrade their thinking to a medium level. The book does not provide advanced techniques and methods and does not take into account the advances of new technology. Overall I do not recommend this book - their are better ones out their.

Small book, high price, manufacturing focus, no CD,

This review is from: Total Business Budgeting: A Step-by-Step Guide with Forms, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This book is good but for the price I expected more. Most issues are only given a couple of paragraphs, examples and topics are geared towards manufacturing and there is no CD with the forms in excel - you have to recreate them yourself. I wouldn't call this "total" business budgeting. If I saw this in a bookstore I probably wouldn't buy it unless the price was more like $40.
