This review is for the audio version (posted originally on audible):This is a quick start guide on taxes for small businesses. There are specific examples and advice that help clarify some of the deductions that are available to small businesses. I don’t think it is substantial enough to do your own taxes off of, but that is why it is a quickstart guide. It presents a nice gentle lead into the deductions and rules. Always consult a tax professional or get them to do your taxes every few years after doing your own; or when vastly different rules are introduced. The value in the book is that it should allow you to have a less confusing conversation with a tax professional as you will at least have had a primer and should be able to understand the gist of the conversation. It also reminds people that if you do your own taxes you need to keep upto date on relevant tax rules as they are always changing. Additionally, I would recommend this to someone starting out with their own business, as it is better to know ahead of time what kind of records and receipts to keep and organize them accordingly, rather than waiting until tax time to tackle a mountain of receipts.The narration was good. Everything was clear and well paced.Full Disclosure: I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review”

My husband and I own a new small business and I handle the finances. I have a few years of bookkeeping experience, but this added to my tax knowledge. I read the book in less than 2 hours and will move next to and more detailed small business tax book. This was and good foundation.

Was an easy read. Very basic outline. Was hoping for more info and an actual plan on how to organize for taxes.

This book was full of good information! I read it and also listened to it in Audible and then it was magnificent. While listening I cam across several things I missed by just reading it myself.

Very brief overview with sound advice on a very complicated stressful topic. I feel more comfortable and confident in understanding my obligations

When I was deciding between a sole proprietor or LLC I wavered prior to reading this. I have the info I need to get my business plan rolling. Great read...

The serious of this books are based on American Tax and Legal system.

I was looking for a book to help me understand taxes for just starting up a small business. This book is about the American system and this was not stated. I only noticed once on holiday with no decent wifi to be able to return it or contact Amazon and now I can't seem to do anything. A complete waste of money.
