Can someone recommend a basic textbook/guide for accounting principles?

I have a lot of different responsibilities at my job, and one is them is accounting, but I don't have any formal training in that area. I can use excel and am decent with statistics so I can definitely run the numbers, but I need some help with the technical terms and layouts used in accounting--could someone recommend a basic book or two that could help me? Something that wouldn't be too technical for a regular person to understand, but not something too basic (I don't want to get 'accounting for dummies'). Thanks.

As the previous poster suggested, a financial accounting textbook might help. You can also look at a couple of books titled something like "Accountant's Desktop Handbook" and "Controller's Handbook". Both contain more practical guidance than a textbook - e.g. how to prepare budgets, financial statements etc.

There are a lot of accounting books out there but I would suggest you go to any college and buy an Accounting 101 textbook from their bookstore.
