• Gets the job done

  So far Quickbooks pro 2008 has had an option for everything I've needed to do relating to business accounting. It is easy to make minor form changes, invoice customers, create estimates later turning them into invoices, and tracking payments. It is not so great as a time tracking application which I've ended up going back to my old system then at the end of the month enter in my hours from that. In case you are looking for a product to track time I find Timeless Time & Expense very easy to use for tracking project times. For me it isn't overly difficult nor overly easy to track down all the features I use in Quickbooks. However I purchased Quickbooks 2008 the Missing Manual and highly recommend it to any newbies which makes locating those features much easier and aids in my comfort level knowing I'm referring to an experienced users approaches to the software. Even with it's shortcomings I can recommend Quickbooks. It gets a little easier to use as well as powerful each year, which is something I find is usually contradictory. Also for all you get in the package the price (though I hate to spend money on business accounting software) I must admit is much less than I'd expect from such a full featured product.

  This book is for the 2008 version of Quickbooks. This book was written by the experts on this program. The book is easy to read and understand. There are hints and tips scattered throughout to help you even more. Many illustrations are also included to help the reader understand each section. The index at the back is extensive and helpful so that you can quickly find what you need. Some accounting knowledge is needed to be able to understand what the program is doing with each account, general ledger, etc. This is a great guide and I feel it is essential to have if you want to use all the features of the program. It was definitely worth the cost of the book.

  I just received the book and I'm so happy that I bought it. I had taken a course in college on one of the previous versions and they only did part of what QuickBooks can do and that was a service company. I have a retail business and this book tells me what I need to know about setting up everything for a retail store, inventory, invoice, etc. With this book you don't have to be a CPA to use it but if you have one that's great as CPA's can help you stay out of trouble. Very informative and check with your CPA to see if it's deductible as a business expense and this book will show you how to enter it in as such.
