      I used to work as a management consultant for senior executives of tech companies. I learned the essentials of accounting by going through this workbook on a five-hour flight: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0132744376/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

      It's filled with simple fill-in-the-blank examples, but the repetition really helped it stick.

      I have degrees in finance and economics and worked in banking for a few years. Skip the heavy advanced texts and get Essentials of Accounting by Anthony and Breitner.
