In Managerial Accounting for Managers, the authors have crafted a streamlined managerial accounting book that is perfect for nonaccounting majors who intend to move into managerial positions. The traditional Process Costing, Statement of Cash Flows, and Financial Statement Analysis chapters have been dropped to enable instructors to focus their attention on the bedrocks of managerial accounting—planning, control, and decision making. Noreen/Brewer/Montague/Garrison focuses on the fundamentals, allowing students to develop the conceptual framework managers need to succeed. The text doesn’t cover journal entries or financial accounting topics so students can focus on principles of managerial accounting with a focus on decision making and analytical skills. Entrepreneur Spotlights and current business examples help students see real-world applicability and students gain a balanced coverage of business models from nonprofit, retail, service, wholesale, and manufacturing organizations.

Brewer's Introduction to Managerial Accounting has earned a reputation as the most accessible and readable book on the market. Its manageable chapters and clear presentation point students toward understanding, just as the needle of the compass provides direction to travelers. However, the book's authors also understand that everyone's destination may be different. Some students will become accountants, while others are destined for careers in management, marketing, or finance. Not only does the Brewer text teach students managerial accounting concepts concisely, but it also asks students to consider how the concepts they are learning will apply to the real-world situations they will eventually face in their careers. This combination of conceptual understanding and the ability to apply that knowledge directs students toward success, whatever their final destination may be.
