Accounting and finance for Small Businesses
After writing a small ebook on UX Journey Mapping @ www.madintelligence.com, I am looking to write another E-book on Financial Statement Analysis, Financial Accounting and Simple Management Accounting. I'd love to hear what topics innovators want to find out about and dominate - this is more of my topic of concentration, having worked as an accountant, so I'd love to target it specially to the innovators here!

For some background, the topics that I was thinking about:
1. Introduction to accounting
2. Differences between accounting systems (cash vs. accrual)
3. How to effectively use information in an accounting system
4. How to account for expenses/income/assets/liabilities
5. What is a financial statement?
6. How to use accounting for managing your company
7. How to analyse a financial statement
8. What is finance? How does it affect financial accounting?
9. How to account for intangible assets?
10. How to account in different geographies (America, Australia, England)
That's a good list to introduce accounting, managerial accounting, and financial accounting.

You could write about more entrepreneurship topics:
Salary negotiation and valuating yourself.
Sunk costs and how to walk away from a bad decision.
Understanding stock options as a prospective employee.
Understanding venture capital investing from the VC perspective.
Different types of business entities and their benefits (sole proprietorship, s-corp, etc).
Advantages of incorporating in certain states or countries (like Delaware) and disadvantages (like Megaupload).
