 Help for QuickBooks - with a Dash of Humor January 7, 2008
Indispensable Marketing Strategies author Paul Francis Musgrave
33 out of 34 found this review helpful
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.

 Good reference, but fell short July 13, 2008

I got this book because I was trying to navigate Quickbooks 2008 as part of my job for a local raspberry co-op. The book was helpful in getting things set up, which for the most part, was already done; however, I was looking for something to get me out of some jams, namely how to delete a duplicate paycheck, and how to correct some entries I had made for accounts payable. So far, I haven't been able to find those instructions, if they exist. The book is well written and easy for the beginner to understand, but again, I would have benefited from a chapter or two on how to correct some mistakes.
Great Resource to get you started on the right foot! February 10, 2008

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.
Excellent Help! March 3, 2008

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
