Okay, so I’m not a numbers person—like, at all. But my side hustle needed some serious adulting, and this book? Total game-changer.

First off, it doesn’t make you feel dumb. The way it breaks down assets vs. liabilities had me nodding like 'Ohhh, so THAT’S why my spreadsheet was a mess.' Real-world examples? Chef’s kiss. Suddenly, my coffee fund tracking made sense as 'cost management.'

The GAAP chapter almost made accounting… fun? (Never thought I’d say that.) Diagrams saved me from drowning in jargon. Though fair warning—if you’ve taken Accounting 101, skip the first few pages unless you want a refresher on 'What Is Money.'

Bonus: The practice questions made me feel like I was back in school (minus the pop quizzes). Now I annoy my friends by casually dropping 'Hey, did you consider your equity ratio?' Worth every penny.
