"[Color Accounting] has the advantage of showing how accounting works visually. As such, I believe that it is of value to anyone who is interested in understanding accounting, from high school students to undergrads to MBAs to business executives." – Professor Paul Healy, Accounting and Management unit, Harvard Business School.
For anyone who has struggled with accounting comes this easy-to-read book like no other.

Background:  In the early 1990's two “Big Four” accountants envisaged a world in which EVERYONE could understand finances and communicate about them powerfully. They set out to find a better way. After a decade of research and listening, playing, epiphanies and real world trials they found that better way. And it will come as no surprise to you that it is highly creative and involves color, movement, language, visualization and breathtaking simplicity. They called the system Color Accounting. Now for the first time that system is available in book form. Accounting Comes Alive: The Color Accounting Parable represents an epoch in accounting education.
