Works for us:
Got this for the office because I know the Missing Manual series of books is exceptional. Accounting doesn't wind my clock, but this book has made it easier.
Quickbooks doesn't NEED its own manual..use this one!:
I am not a professional reviewer, but I needed to comment on the value of this book. I just started my own business and am lost in software land. I heard Quickbooks was the way to go, so, I followed suit and purchased it. Upon recommendation, I took part in the "online tutorials". It helped me learn a few things. "What next?", I inquired. "Use the help menu", was the catty reply. Forget that...I went searching for and found this book. Immediately, I found what I was looking for..Explainations! Examples!... more info
Effective material:
I haven't read the book from cover to cover, but instead by using the index and table of contents to find what I am looking for. The book is well laid out and does a very good job of covering the key components of the QuickBooks system. It's a little more comprehensive that many other books, but that is what I wanted so its a good choice.
Very Good for nubies:
Very good book for those just starting out. It goes over the basics of setting up. I've worked with QB for 7+ years and thought the book was about shortcuts and secrets and workarounds, so I was dissapointed in my choice. My part time assistant finds it invaluable.
