Accounting is a pretty broad field. Can you be more specific about the topics or job functions you’re interested in? If you’re just looking for the basics, I’d recommend asking your local colleges about the textbooks they use. If you need the accounting information in the context of a computer system, you might look for books that focus on the software you’ll use. ---
