I have several of the "for Dummies" books. This one in particular has been a great resource. It is easy to find what you need and get the answers you're looking for. Love it-thanks!

This book could have been called Quicker Quickbooks for dummies. It got me through my online class and will continue to be of good use. Thanks Amazon

Excellent. Well written and well organized , but comprehensive. A little too long on the humor, which may make some more comfortable, but it seems to just slow me down slightly.

Well-designed software can make accounting chores seem less tedious. And a well-written instruction book - like this one - can help you learn your accounting software faster and with less frustration.

However, this is more than just an instruction book. Of course, it tells you how to install your software and set it up for your business. And it explains in detail how to perform tasks like invoicing, receiving payments, and generating reports. But it also explains some basic accounting concepts - in easy-to-understand language. And it provides some helpful management advice that could save you money. As well, the author has a sense of humor that makes the learning process more fun.

This book is not intended to be read from cover to cover, all in one go. Instead, follow the instructions to install your software. Then, use the book's advice to set up your business accounts within QuickBooks. Next, read up on just one of the tasks you perform most frequently, and try it out on your software. After that, move on to another task, read the instructions, and again, try it with your software. You'll learn better by practicing each step immediately after reading about it in the book.

As one of the Dummies series, this book is intended mainly to help you get started. It may not coach you to the pinnacle of QuickBooks expertise. But it offers a fairly fast and painless way to master the basics and get your accounting system up and running.
