With QuickBooks, you can build a budget, process payroll, track income and outgo, and make tax time a little less stressful.

  • Build a perfect budget
  • Print checks and generate reports
  • Manage your payroll and prepare payroll tax returns
  • Estimate, bill, and track jobs
  • Prepare customer invoices, record sales, and pay bills
  • Take care of those necessary tasks that happen at the end of the week, the month, the year, or the billing cycle

About the Author

Stephen L. Nelson, CPA, MBA (finance), MS (taxation), has a simple purpose in life: He wants to help you (and people like you) manage your business finances by using computers. Oh, sure, this personal mandate won’t win him a Nobel Prize or anything, but it’s his own little contribution to the world.
Steve’s experiences mesh nicely with his special purpose. He’s a CPA in Redmond, Washington. He’s an adjunct professor of taxation (S corporations and limited liability companies) at Golden Gate University graduate tax school. And, heck, he even used to work as a senior consultant and CPA with Arthur Andersen & Co. (er, yeah, that Arthur Andersen — but, hey, it was 20 years ago). Steve, whose books have sold more than 4 million copies in English and have been translated into 11 other languages, is also the bestselling author of Quicken 2008 For Dummies (Wiley).

3.0 out of 5 stars Good reference, but fell short, July 13, 2008
This review is from: QuickBooks 2008 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) (Paperback)
I got this book because I was trying to navigate Quickbooks 2008 as part of my job for a local raspberry co-op. The book was helpful in getting things set up, which for the most part, was already done; however, I was looking for something to get me out of some jams, namely how to delete a duplicate paycheck, and how to correct some entries I had made for accounts payable. So far, I haven't been able to find those instructions, if they exist. The book is well written and easy for the beginner to understand, but again, I would have benefited from a chapter or two on how to correct some mistakes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Terribly Useful for LLC's, October 19, 2008
This review is from: QuickBooks 2008 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) (Paperback)
If you are setting up an LLC there is alot missing in this book that you will need. For example in the payroll section there is no real informaton on how to deal with members and their salaries and how that should be tracked. This is a very common situation that newbie business owners will have to deal with and I figured a "Dummies" book would have had a step by step instructions on how to do just that.

Also the book was real chatty. The author spending lots and lots of paragraphs talking to you like you were his buddy over a beer. Most of those paragraphs were wasted ink and paper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource to get you started on the right foot!, February 9, 2008
This review is from: QuickBooks 2008 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) (Paperback)
If you are just getting started with QuickBooks, then you really should get this book! QuickBooks is easy to use, provided it is set up properly. This book will help you understand QuickBooks so you can get started on the right foot. If you're already familiar with QuickBooks, there is plenty of information so you're sure to learn something new! It is a great resource to have on hand!
