Book Description

0789737116 978-0789737113 December 7, 2007 1

QuickBooks 2008 Solutions Guide for Business Owners and Accountants contains a wealth of information useful to both the business owner and the accountant who services such businesses. To make finding the right information easier,  the book is organized into chapters specific to each accounting module in QuickBooks.

 

The author has worked many years with businesses that use QuickBooks to manage their financials and knows that every company has its own unique needs, yet all share one common goal—to more accurately track how the business is performing financially.

 

The goal of this book is to provide easy-to-read and easy-to-follow QuickBooks “consulting” advice that business owners, bookkeepers, or accountants can use. After reading the chapters in this book, business owners and accountants will be able to efficiently troubleshoot a QuickBooks data file and make needed corrections, so they can accurately report how the business is performing financially.

 

This book helps you

o        Get started with a QuickBooks data file and learn how to modify the file you already have

o        Analyze your data and troubleshoot reports

o        Review and correct any data errors in your balance sheet accounts such as Banking, A/R, Undeposited Funds, Employee Advances, Inventory, A/P, Sales Tax, and Open Bal Equity Account

o        Use the tools in QuickBooks to properly review your payroll data and avoid costly mistakes

o        Efficiently share your business data with your accountant

o        Make the most of the QuickBooks reporting tools

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource Book to always have on hand, February 5, 2008
This review is from: QuickBooks 2008 Solutions Guide for Business Owners and Accountants (Paperback)
This book is a great book to keep handy. I supply it with many of my QuickBook classes as a resource for the students. It's easy to follow for the new user but also in depth where it needs to be for the experienced user. The table of contents and index allow you to find what you need quickly whenever you need it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Referrence Book That Needs To Be On Your Desk!, August 14, 2008
This review is from: QuickBooks 2008 Solutions Guide for Business Owners and Accountants (Paperback)
This is one of the pivotal QuickBooks reference books! As a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, I have my own little "QuickBooks Library" that I refer to on a regular basis. And this book is THE book I reach for first, each and every time!
It is jam-packed full of readable and easily understood information needed by users, business owners, accountants and QB ProAdvisors alike.
Don't just bookmark this page and tell yourself you're going to buy it tomorrow or next week - buy it today! You can't beat the price!
And, as QB 2009 is released, I'll be buying the 2009 version of this book, immediately!
