Clear Answers!:
Clear, easy-to-read (and follow) directions on Quickbooks 2009. The humor laced throughout only helps highlight the lesson at hand rather than distract. (look for the shady tattoo parlor!) I'm no computer expert, but I AM fairly savvy on picking up new programs- & this is one of the best manuals I've read in a very long time.
dissapointed - no help to my business:
Have been using Quickbooks for three years and want to move beyond basic record keeping (expenses, income & payroll) and into more analysis of my business practices - job profitability, etc. This book seems great in telling you what you can do within the Quickbooks program, but little guidance in applying it to real life situations. For a Quickbooks beginner its probably too complex and for an experienced user trying to improve their skills, too simple.
NOW YOU CAN REALLY LEARN QUICKBOOKS!!:
QuickBooks Pro 2009 WOW!! THIS BOOK MAKES QUICKBOOKS UNDERSTANDABLE FOR SOMEONE WITHOUT AN ACCOUNTING DEGREE. I WAS AFRAID I WOULD HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR $500 IN CLASSES JUST TO KEEP TRACK OF ONE SMALL BUSINESS. THANK YOU FOR CREATING "THE MISSING MANUAL". I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU. QuickBooks 2009: The Missing Manual THIS IS TRULY "THE BOOK THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE BOX!"
Not for Mac users:
On page four of this manual, the author warns that this book will not be useful for people who are using Quickbooks for Mac. I'm rating this four stars because I am required to rate the product to submit a review. I have not used this book.
