Book Description:
This book explains the methods used in accounting and business valuations by using the fictional story of a new start-up business, from original concept to eventual acquisition. Enamoured with entrepreneurial spirit, a business woman buys her family’s secret salad dressing recipe from her brother and sets up a business.
