Amazon.com Review

Kathy Ivens knows what QuickBooks really is. It's the entire management information system for thousands of small and mid-size businesses around the world. The software is up to the job, but the challenge is for managers to learn how to use it without taking too much time away from their duties. That's where QuickBooks 99: The Official Guide comes in. This tutorial and reference explains all the accounting and reporting features in QuickBooks 99 and QuickBooks Pro 99.

You won't want to read this book cover to cover--it's not structured for that sort of approach, and who has the time? Rather, you'll want to use the index to look up the subjects that interest you. Most tasks have sections dedicated to them, each with a combination of explanatory prose, screen shots, and step-by-step procedures. Throughout, Ivens--who received help in the writing process from a tax accountant--includes business advice in addition to her software documentation. While her QuickBooks examples are contrived, the business recommendations--encapsulated in readable miniature case studies--are valuable. --David Wall

Topics covered: Accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, inventory, tax accounting, budgeting, job estimates, reporting, transferring accounting records to the software for the first time, and coverage of time tracking.

From Library Journal

This well-written and well-organized title is for small businesses trying to use QuickBooks 99 to customize their accounting systems. Ivens explains how to manage payrolls, process invoices, monitor inventory, create budgets, and manage money online. This volume will streamline the process for those familiar with accounting practices; in combination with the QuickBooks software, it will instruct everyone else.

This review is from: Quickbooks 99: The Official Guide (Paperback)

The Author tells of her experience using Quickbooks Pro and gives plenty of tips along the way. The book covers everything in Quickbooks that I had questions about. I am an Accountant so I was able to quickly understand the book. I'm not sure how a novice would rate this book.
