Looking for a basic ERP and Accounting overview for the ambitious kindergartener in your life?  

The Birds & the Ts is a new book that introduces your child to these topics with colorful characters, stories, pictures, metaphors, and a dash of family-friendly humor.  All intended to help your kid crush it when “Bring your child to work” day rolls around again this year.

In this series of tales we follow the adventures of Little Red, a young bird who recently graduated college and is starting his first job in the accounting department at a mid-market birdseed distribution firm.  In other words: Living the dream.

Little Red learns about the various buying and selling transactions of the business, such as Purchase Orders, Customer Invoices, etc.  For each transaction, his colleagues explain the underlying business Activity, the Bookkeeping impact in the company’s accounting system, and an explanation of how Computers streamline and automate the process.

The ABCs of ERP, so to speak.

Sadly, there may be cynics among us who think that presenting this material in the form of an illustrated children’s book is just a lighthearted way to give busy adults and recent college grads a refresher on accounting and ERP topics so that they can be more effective at work.

To these skeptics, the author issues the following challenge: Read this book to a young person in your life.  Prove us both correct.
