5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource for All Quickbook Users, December 30, 2009

This review is from: QuickBooks 2010 The Official Guide (Quicken Press) (Paperback)

As a CPA who has had experience working with various accounting software products but, at the time, new to Quickbooks, I found this book to be a fantatic step-by-step guide to setup your company file, lists and items with detailed instructions and insider tips. This book effectively conveys the sometimes technical language and processes of accounting in a way that allows users to understand some of the "behind the scenes" things in Quickbooks and, more importantly, how to best utilize the software. For those who are more advanced Quickbooks users, there are chapters about running specific, detailed reports to customizing Quickbooks to your business. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to get more out of their Quickbooks accounting software.

This review is from: QuickBooks 2010 The Official Guide (Quicken Press) (Paperback)

So, I bought this book at the same time I bought QB 2010 for Mac. I wasn't really thinking that it would be for the PC version of QB 2010 when I bought it. That said, the books step by step and section by section guide to setting up and using QB 2010 translated well to the Mac world. Sure I would have liked a book specifically for the Mac (which you do get by the way as a FREE download when you buy QB 2010 for Mac, found this out after the fact), but all in all it was nice to have a physical book in hand to be able to address certain sections/situations. This would be a great book for the PC QB 2010 user and is a nice to have to for the Mac QB 2010 user.
