Book Description

Missing Manual March 3, 2005

Every company large and small wants to boost its sales, control its spending, and keep the auditors at the Internal Revenue Service happy. But, no company wants to waste time on more paperwork. These days, a growing number of companies are turning to QuickBooks accounting software not only to speed up their bookkeeping efforts, but manage their businesses more effectively.

Organizations come in all shapes, sizes, and business models, so it's no surprise that accounting practices can be a convoluted road to travel. QuickBooks can handle many of the financial tasks companies face, but the price you pay is an overabundance of software features. To make the learning curve even more challenging, QuickBooks doesn't come with a manual.

Fortunately, to help pave the road to accounting success, there's QuickBooks 2005: The Missing Manual, a comprehensive guide from O'Reilly that examines everything the QuickBooks Pro edition has to offer, from invoices and inventory to assets and accounts payable.

With QuickBooks 2005: The Missing Manual, financial managers can quickly learn how to use the program's tools to implement and maintain critical accounting processes. By covering details in a friendly and light-hearted way, the book explains when and why a feature is useful, and then offers indispensable, relevant advice. Each page of this Missing Manual provides insightful tips and tricks to help readers become more efficient, sophisticated users no matter what the extent of their existing knowledge is.

Whether you're interested in QuickBooks for its basic bookkeeping features or its more powerful, business planning tools, the only way to truly harness its power is to read the book that should have been in the box: QuickBooks 2005: The Missing Manual.

More About the Author

Bonnie Biafore has always been a zealous organizer, whether setting up software demos, cooking gourmet meals, or scheduling a vacation to test the waters of spontaneity. Ironically, fate, not planning, turned this obsession into a career as a project manager. When she isn't managing projects for clients, Bonnie writes about project management, personal finance, investing, and technology. As an engineer, she's fascinated by how things work and how to make things work better. She has a knack for mincing dry subjects like accounting and finance into easy to understand morsels and then spices them to perfection with her warped sense of humor.

Bonnie is the author of QuickBooks 2012: The Missing Manual, Personal Investing: The Missing Manual, Project 2010: The Missing Manual, Successful Project Management, Your Project Management Coach, the Better Investing Stock Selection Handbook, Online Investing Hacks, and many other books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book--tons of useful advice, March 11, 2005
By 
Sarah Milstein (SF Bay Area & New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: QuickBooks 2005: The Missing Manual (Paperback)
Full disclosure: I'm the editor of this book, so the fact that I think it's an extraordinarily useful guide should come as no surprise. I am, however, in a good position to comment on the inaccuracies of RH's review, posted on March 8, 2005. First, although the reviewer says s/he bought "QuickBooks 2005: The Missing Manual," returned it and then bought "QuickBooks 2005 The Official Guide," in fact, s/he had posted a positive review of "The Official Guide" three months earlier. More important for other potential readers, the reviewer's comments about sales tax are plain wrong: pages 298 to 301 of "QuickBooks 2005: The Missing Manual" are devoted to setting up sales tax payments, with step-by-step instructions, and additional discussions are sprinkled throughout the book--and all cross-referenced, where relevant. Finally, the book is jammed with tips and advice about QuickBooks,and how to use it to make good financial and business decisions--all things you can't find in either the Help files or other books on the subject. We hope this Missing Manual is truly helpful to many readers!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have guide, March 11, 2005
This review is from: QuickBooks 2005: The Missing Manual (Paperback)
This book is clear, concise and detailed. It tells you what you need to know to get the most from the software as quickly as possible.

I took over my company accounts a few months ago, and none of the available books were much help - until this was published.

Buy it - it's exactly what you hope it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a usable manual for Quickbooks!, September 2, 2005
This review is from: QuickBooks 2005: The Missing Manual (Paperback)
Ms. Biafore has taken a subject which can certainly be incomprehensible, and created a manual that is not only readable, but understandable as well. My company has nothing to do with financial information, but I certainly wouldn't be able to function without Quickbooks, and now, Ms. Biafore has given me the ability to work quickly through the items requiring my attention, check things that might bite me later, and move on to my primary function, finding ways to make money for the company. Thanks!
