This cover for "Small Business Accounting Simplified" by Thurston Pope, M.S.W., blends professionalism with clarity to attract small business owners. Inspired by U.S. currency, a green-to-ivory gradient reflects financial growth, while bold typography and a banner-style "Simplified" emphasize ease and accessibility. Key benefits—"Grow the Business," "Reduce Costs," and "Save Time"—are highlighted with bullet points for clarity. A "2025 Edition" gold badge adds a touch of prestige, and a golden arrow motif suggests upward success. The clean design communicates simplicity, growth, and stress-free bookkeeping.
