Am teaching myself QuickBooks for my husband's carpentry business, and this book is very helpful. The QuickBooks tutorials are great, but without this book, which is specific to carpentry, it would be much more difficult. I recommend getting the book before you start setting up accounts in QuickBooks. It even comes with a CD for a sample company and estimator program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Introducing contractors to an exceptionally comprehensive understanding of the computer-based programming system, June 7, 2006

This review is from: Contractor's Guide to Quickbooks Pro 2006 (Paperback)

Enhanced with an accompanying CD-ROM, the Contractor's Guide To QuickBooks Pro 2006 by the team of contractors, accountants, and QuickBooks Pro experts Karen Mitchell, Craig Savage, and Jim Erwin is an in-depth, "user-friendly" guide to coordinating and knowledgeably approaching using the software programming of QuickBooks Pro in building construction contract development. Introducing contractors to an exceptionally comprehensive understanding of the computer-based programming system, QuickBooks Pro 2006 guides readers through QuickBooks Pro 2006's national estimator, an easy-to-use program with over 100 pages of construction cost and estimating data for general contractors; the Job Cost Wizard which swiftly converts the National estimates into QuickBooks Pro estimates for ease in creation of invoices and track job costs; as well as a collection of blank construction forms for customization and use with customers and subcontractors. QuickBooks Pro 2006 is very strongly recommended for its concise and thorough coverage of the often difficult dealings of construction contract estimates and bids.

The book is very well written. I bought the book to learn about QuickBooks Job Costing which there is very little about, but it did have easy to follow instructions on the basics of QuickBooks. I gave it to a client who is a roofing contractor. My customer already had an estimating program so I did not use the estimator program that came with it.
