5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent choice!, February 9, 2010

This review is from: QuickBooks 2010 on Demand (Paperback)

I'm a techie with no interest in accounting or QuickBooks, but out of necessity to take care of my business I bought this book. I must say it has painlessly taught me everything that I need to know, and the style of it is just fantastic to keep as a reference manual. The plain language, diagrams, and "learn-what-you-need" format make it a valuable addition to any business owner's library. If you don't like searching pages and pages of text to get that one little bit of info you need, then this book is a perfect choice. If you'd like a book to read cover-to-cover for in-depth knowledge of QuickBooks, then this book is also the perfect choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for QuickBooks users who want to actually get things done., March 13, 2010

This review is from: QuickBooks 2010 on Demand (Paperback)

This is a great book for the average QuickBooks user who needs a good tutorial on how to get things done in the application. Unlike many other "dopey" books, the authors have included screen shots from QB2010 as well as lots of good practical information for novices and advanced users without being too technical. The book is printed in full color, but it's done in a way where it's not too "busy", and is easy on the eyes. The book includes things users know they need to do but don't usually know how to handle (like bank reconciliations), as well as things that will save them time but they don't know about or don't understand (like time tracking, job costing, etc.)

A must for your QuickBooks bookshelf.
