5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny, March 3, 2008

This review is from: Learning Quickbooks 2008 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I wanted to take a course in QB, but I could not afford several hundred dollars, so, I did some research on training aids and found this to be the best bang for my buck and no gimmicks. I have never used QB and being new to bookkeeping in general, I found this to be easy to comprehend and follow (with or without a full-running copy to follow along with).

It covers the basics of accounting principles and the basic functions (common tasks) of QB. In my case, this was all I needed to apply for a job which required QB...

I am satisfied.

This learning tool is very simple, very clear and well produced. Obviously designed for people who know little or nothing about QuickBooks. It is a very good introduction to QuickBooks.

I used to use a spreadsheet to track my expenses and thought I had a pretty good handle on things. Then my mentor convinced me to get Quickbooks. It took me a bit to get the feel for the program and get all my data entered, but when I did I wanted to cry. Quickbooks opened my eyes to some of the drains and strains on my business. This program has given me the tools I need to make sure that I keep my costs in check and my profits in my pockets.
