dissapointed - no help to my business - 2009-09-12
Reviewer Rating:
Have been using Quickbooks for three years and want to move beyond basic record keeping (expenses, income & payroll) and into more analysis of my business practices - job profitability, etc. This book seems great in telling you what you can do within the Quickbooks program, but little guidance in applying it to real life situations. For a Quickbooks beginner its probably too complex and for an experienced user trying to improve their skills, too simple.

Not for Mac users - 2009-07-25

On page four of this manual, the author warns that this book will not be useful for people who are using Quickbooks for Mac. I'm rating this four stars because I am required to rate the product to submit a review. I have not used this book.

Really helps to have this book - 2009-07-25

This is a good book as far as quick books goes. It had some insight that the "Official Guide" did not have. I would have to recommend it along with the other two if you are serious about understanding this program. Do youself a favor and buy the other two books. QuickBooks 2009 The Official Guide, and QuickBooks 2009 Solutions Guide to go along with it. One of those three will most likely have the answers that you are looking for.
