Starting and Building Your Own Accounting Business, Third Edition
Amazon: “This book is awful. I have read the entire thing, and it says nothing that is useful. I have been in public accounting for 10 years, and i am now ready to start my own firm. I wasted my money on buying this book. I know it is tempting to buy, since the title is exactly what i was looking for, but trust me, choose another book. The accounting Guild website that the author constantly refers to is no longer in existence.”

The book is copied from the operations manual of the defunct “Comprehensive Accounting Corporation.” A franchise organization started in the 70’s and run out of business by the feds back in the 80’s.
Mr . Fox appears to have been a franchisee who got burned by the system so he stole the information and got Wiley to publish it under the guise of being an author.
Besides being stolen content, the material is dated and does not take into account the technological and business changes that have taken place in the last 25 to 30 years.
