While this book is full of useful information, it seems better suited to the novice than to someone with experience. I can see how the book may provide insights into how client accounting works, but I found very little that I could apply to my own job as a client accounting/billing coordinator. If you work at a large, established firm, or hope to find employment in one, avoid this book. These firms already have their own entrenched systems with extensive training. This book will be useful if you are with a smaller firm or one just starting out. It will assist with ideas on how to establish your own systems.
