Book recs... actual reading books.

[Valarie Anderson]

Tried to do a search, but of course struggled because 'books' can mean your financial books and paper books. I have experience with QB and bookkeeping for my own business, personal, and other businesses. Not looking to switch programs, just up my knowledge base in a few ways:

1) Skilled in basic double entry bookkeeping, but would like to expand on this to become advanced (not necessarily expert). 

2) Increase my knowledge on coding entry items, per tax laws, for small business and single family home rentals (we have both). I'm also likely missing tax write offs and depreciations due to lack of accounting knowledge. Bookkeepers are not accountants after all.

3) Remain independent of a CPA/office doing all the work monthly/quarterly etc, analyze my own books for profitability and next ventures, report the necessary information directly to accountant for end of year tax purposes. 

I would appreciate any physical paper book recs on these topics. If you have direct experience with an online program etc I would take those recommendations as well. There are just too many to chose from, and it's hard to tell if the knowledge will be too basic for my skill level (ie repetitive and not worth my time/money). Also hard to tell when to stop educating myself. What's the threshold for roi on my own knowledge?!
