I am returning this book because I was disappointed with it. For $50 I was expecting more information than this book has. The publisher's description mentions that there are over 300 pages of information... well, the font is large and the screen shots take up half of a page. The information presented is not much different than you would find with the less expensive guides to quickbooks. And the payroll chapter is worthless, it suggests you might as well outsource your payroll because you might make a mistake!

Reviewed by: Susan D. Smith, Consultant in Philanthropy [Barneveld, NY] wrote an in-depth review of the book for The Charity Channel.

A quote from the article, "The only shortcoming when purchasing QuickBooks in any version is that you don't usually receive a manual for its use. Sure, you can find answers to your questions on use online, but if you're like me, you want a manual by your side so that you can learn to use the software fully.
That's where QuickBooks for Not-for-Profit Organizations by Christine L. Manor, CPA, comes in. Christine, as many of you may know, is a frequent contributor to CharityChannel discussion forums. She has developed, along with Douglas Sleeter and Joe Woodard, a terrific guide to using QuickBooks for Not-for-Profits software. "
...
"If your nonprofit group or organization is thinking about switching to new software and donor reporting software, I would highly recommend both QuickBooks for Not-for-Profit Organizations, available from Intuit, Inc. and Ms. Manor's guide, available from the Sleeter Group. It fits the bill on all scores, including the all-important issues of affordability, efficiency, accessibility and long-term use. And, if your Board commends you for becoming a financial maven, you can smile and accept the thanks proudly."
