No, managerial accounting (management accounting) isn't what your regular CPA does. Of course if you are looking at this book, you are probably very much aware of what a managerial accountant does for a living. Rather than focus outwardly preparing reports that make the public and the IRS aware of what's going on in the company, the managerial accountant does a lot of analyzing, evaluation, and "planning and budgeting for the future" of a business. In other words, if you want your company to succeed, you have to have someone on board who will help you achieve your goals. A managerial accountant is that rare breed who will do just that.In the "Dummies" books there are usually a few assumptions and this book is no exception. Primarily books like these are geared toward students who are currently taking a managerial course or plan to in the future. Other interested parties may include people who would like to brush up on the subject, business or entrepreneurs, or those who need certification for their career. Whatever the motivation, this book is packed with information that will benefit anyone interested in managerial accounting.The book itself is not progressive, but rather one in which you can focus on a particular topic or topics you are interested in. Any newbies to managerial accounting would do well to work with the book from start to finish. The book is generously illustrated with charts, graphs, formulas, and numerous informative sidebars. For example, one sidebar differentiates several companies as to whether they are service, retail, or manufacturing.Each chapter is prefaced by bullet points outlining what is in the chapter and a brief commentary and overview of it.
