Any of you bros have a financial background and can help me with a book rec? I'm a programmer and I recently joined a company that works on accounting software, I want a theoretical understanding of the things I'm working so I can interpret my clients better. What's a good book you would recommend? It can be dense I don't mind that just not a deep dive into a overly specific topic.

Just take that free course on coursera. The math is easy as fuck and it’s just about learning the terminology. No point reading a whole book unless you personally want to learn. If that’s your goal, I recommend Financial and Managerial Accounting 4th edition by weygandt. But really any textbook would do, it’s not like there’s a shit ton of variance for this sort of thing. Just learn about how depreciation and amortization works

Word of advice; if their personal statements show a shit ton of cash sitting in the bank and nothing invested in stocks or RE, you may want to look into possible fraud. It’s probably not likely but it’s a warning sign

This is way deeper then I will probably ever interact with a client, for me it's much more about which sort of data will the client want access to quickly on an income statement. Thanks for the book rec, I just like learning a new topic in general so a textbook would be fine.
