Ask HN: Good Basic Accounting Book for Entrepreneurs

I'm a engineer by training doing a start up. I find myself suddenly in charge of our companies books. We're extremely small and I'm managing alright with a single accounting class and Quickbooks software. Please recommend any blogs, books, or sites that can "upgrade" my accounting knowledge and keep our books straight for investors to come in.

  • get yourself an outside bookkeeper and another accountant.

    That's really a total waste of time and effort, also you will not be maximizing your use of tax breaks and such. I know this is not what you are asking for but some things you are better off outsourcing, this is one of those, same with legal stuff (though a bit of basic knowledge certainly helps).
