Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Intuit's QuickBooks 6 is perfect for businesses that have their own checking accounts and yet aren't big enough to merit a big accounting package. This book shows you how to convert your business to QuickBooks accounting with as little disruption as possible. After a quick accounting primer, Gilbert details the elements of the QuickBooks universe: accounts, customers, jobs, items, and so on. She also presents quite a bit of information on procedures, such as setting up a new customer record and generating mailing labels from your customer database. The book emphasizes getting business done, though it also gets into QuickBooks' utilities. Financial reporting--one of the main reasons small-business owners switch to computerized accounting--receives thorough coverage. A couple of remarkable chapters not only show how to generate financial documents, but how to analyze them, too. The author provides tutorials in accountants' tricks for assessing the health of a business.

Gilbert, a certified public accountant, includes informative (and frequently funny) asides about small businesses. She covers accounting decisions, business law, tax considerations, and more. She explains the relative merits of sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations of various kinds and details how each legal structure fits into QuickBooks' organizational system. --David Wall

From Library Journal

QuickBooks software targets small businesses that have few employees. These three QuickBooks titles cover everything from the basics for establishing a QuickBooks profile, to data management and security, to inventory control, payroll, and taxes. Advanced users will learn to use the program to analyze business performance. All three books will work for beginners, but even after new versions of QuickBooks are released, Gilbert's volume will be valuable as a reference source for experienced users.
