I did not find the book helpful or useful. You might as well have a 10th English grammar book.
I had to buy this book for my college class. It is a good book that takes the knowledge one should already have and puts it in the context of writing for accountants. Nonetheless, it is very important to know what the book teaches because much of what accounts write ends up in court. It is definetely worth the expense (investment?).
Had to buy it for a class. It's informative, if compact and a tad dry. And it would be nice to have the answers with the questions. (Not for the class, but for my own life)
It is an used book but meets my expectation. It is an older version but it is what required for my class. I got it on time for class. Thank you.
Book has been a very good resource for my class. I highly recommend this book for any accountant looking to improve their writing skills.
I work in a CPA firm and found this book to recommend simplification in writing to the point of absurdity. It is a fact that there is a 'language' for business, and this book spends far too much time advising the reader to take complex or wordy phrases and simplify them to an almost moronic degree. While I agree that business writing is often overly and unnecessarily convoluted, this book seems to ignore a business-like paring down and instead invite the reader to return to elementary-school quality writing. I definitely did not feel that the book was a worthwhile investment, especially at the inflated price for which it retails. It is possible that it would benefit those in the accounting field whose clientele are completely non-business oriented or have little business knowledge.
Came in the right amount of time and is perfect for the class I am taking and to use in the future is necessary!
This book was needed for a class I was taking, and I wouldn't have gone out and bought it otherwise, but it's truly a great book. I have used it a few times outside of class. It is filled with examples to follow from, which are extremely helpful.
