Editorial Reviews

Review

"Organize Your Books in 6 Easy Steps" is great! It is just what the novice entrepreneur needs. In our 13 years in business, we have been through many trials and errors. We overcame a lot of the administrative headaches during startup. This book would have eased those pains. -- James C. Smith, President/CEO of SEMA, Inc.

Cash flow mismanagement and problems with the IRS for bad recordkeeping are the primary reasons small business owners go out of business. "Organize Your Books in 6 Easy Steps" is an easy read and good primer for the CEO of a small business. A must read! -- Cheryl Broussard, Author, Sister CEO & A Black Woman's Guide to Financial Independence

4.0 out of 5 stars A genuinely practical primer for sole proprietorships., August 10, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Organize Your Books In 6 Easy Steps: A Workbook for the Sole Proprietor Service-Oriented Business (Paperback)
Donna Murphy has succeeded where many have failed. She provides a genuinely practical primer that sole proprietors can use to keep their books in order--and avoid that dreaded letter from the IRS. With a generous sampling of forms, a sensible six-step approach to the material, and a wise and witty writing style, Murphy has produced a winner that is sure to go into many subsequent editions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good needs tear out forms, April 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Organize Your Books In 6 Easy Steps: A Workbook for the Sole Proprietor Service-Oriented Business (Paperback)
The book is pretty good, it really helps the small business owner and is oriented towards services. It's short but to the point. It got me moving on my recordkeeping, bank statements are not enough. Now I can tackle quickbooks knowing a little more about the basics, most books are too technical. The author does need to make the forms tear out in the back, after I took them out, there is no way to keep them, tear out forms with a way to three hole punch them would be great.

Good websites in the back. Only thing is, a namesearch company would be appreciated.
