STUDENTS LEARN BETTER WITH REIMERS!
If you're an accounting major, here's some good news! Jane L. Reimers' Financial Accounting: A Business Process Approach covers all of the core topics critical to the financial accounting course. If you're a non-major, you're in luck too. Why? Because Reimers emphasizes how accounting relates to and reports on business activities. The accounting issues are presented in the context of running a business-something you are very likely to do in your future career!
You always know what's important in Reimers. How? Because each chapter sets the stage for students with a quick overview of what they just learned ("Here's Where You've Been...") and where they're headed ("Here's Where You're Going...") so that students are prepared to tackle new concepts.
Have you ever wanted to run your own business? In Chapter 1, you are introduced to Tom, an entrepreneur who decides to create a t-shirt business. In subsequent chapters, you learn financial accounting concepts through Tom's experiences as he grows and expands his business.
Excel is a critical business tool for all students to master. In every chapter, you see Tom's Wear monthly transactions illustrated in Excel. And, the optional in-text Understanding Excel Problems in each chapter enable you to build your own Excel skills. In addition, Reimers has a unique Getting Started w/ Excel for Tom's Wear that takes the essential concepts from the text and puts them into a handy manual for students to use in the lab or at home.
In-text "Study Breaks" appear frequently throughout the chapters to enable you to pause and assess your understanding of recently covered material.
