This review is from: Computer Accounting with Peachtree Complete 2009 with CD-ROM (Spiral-bound)

This is an amazing book that is simple enough for my grandparents to understand and follow. The instructions are literally step-by-step, with pictures and screenshots to compare with your own work as you complete each process. Anyone can go through this book, even with very little computer knowledge or skills. "Fantastic" doesn't come close to describing this book!

No problem with software or book. However, no where any where on this listing or anywhere else does it say that it is NOT mac compatible. Please be aware that if this is intended for school that it is NOT compatible with a mac. If it weren't for me having a pc as a backup I would have been screwed for school!

This is the only problem that I have had. All information is great and the book is very easy to use and follow. Steps and precise step by step.

PeachTree is easy to use and understand. I am going to school for an accounting degree and have never used any accouting programs before. This software is explained in depth in the book and I would recommend this software to anyone with or without experience.
