Missing Manual November 7, 2008

QuickBooks 2009 has impressive features, like financial and tax reporting, invoicing, payroll, time and mileage tracking, and online banking. So how do you avoid spending more time learning the software than using it?

  • Set up and manage your files to fit your company's specific needs.
  • Use QuickBooks reports to evaluate every aspect of your enterprise.
  • Follow the money all the way from customer invoices to year-end tasks.
  • Discover new timesaving features like like better multi-user performance, a homepage dashboard, revamped online banking.

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 Excellently Insightful and easy to read, May 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: QuickBooks 2009: The Missing Manual (Paperback)
I have been using QuickBooks for the last 5 years and I recently became a quickbooks pro advisor and have access to Intuit training and support information. Despite that I would buy this book every year! It is well written - providing a lot of practical information and basic examples of why you would or would not use certain features. The advantage with third party books is that they will tell you when a feature does not work the best and will tell you work arounds. I use this as a reference book, and to refresh me on features I may not be using. I seem always to learn a new tid bit whenever I pick it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Guidebook, April 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: QuickBooks 2009: The Missing Manual (Paperback)
I love this book! I have no formal training in accounting, but I don't need it thanks to The Missing Manual. Basic concepts are explained in a lively, conversational style, and if you already know that material you could skip around to what you need with ease. Don't give up on QuickBooks Pro 2009 until you get this book! NOTE: Does NOT cover the Mac version of QuickBooks.

3.0 out of 5 stars good reference, but not connecting the dots..., May 25, 2009
This review is from: QuickBooks 2009: The Missing Manual (Paperback)
accounting is tricky. credit dedit... learning on the fly is my usual way to get through something new. quickbooks IS easier than some software products, but not easy enough to hack through it. their support center is huge seeming but i rarely get a direct reply to my questions... i got this book for these reasons. and as a reference it is thorough, very detailed and written well, it does not tie things together like i needed it too... still searching, may end up in a class or formal training situation after all...
