Quickbooks All-in-One for Dummies 2015 1st Edition

Great reference.

In the past 12 months I have needed to learn 4 different software packages that were new to me. This book starts from the beginning and is very thorough. And even though it was written for dummies, it doesn't make you feel like one! Of the 4 new software packages I have learned, QuickBooks is the one I understand the most, thanks to this book.

Gives a great overview of all aspects of QuickBooks 2015 since QB seemed to have decided to save money by no longer producing a manual to their product. Don't expect this book to get into the finer details like how to create sub accounts under line items for a budget or how to remove an Accounts Receivable transaction. (But it does give a great description of how to create a budget in three different approaches) I found this book more knowledge based than I did transactional as to how to use the program. However, I suppose that is the whole purpose of the "For Dummies" theme as to not get too technical.

While this book was very helpful, it just didn't go far enough. I was looking for a book that would link my knowledge of accounting practices with how to perform them in QuickBooks 2015, and while the book touches on this, it did not go into the detail I was looking for. I will say that this book would be quite helpful for someone who has very little knowledge of accounting practices, because it does explain the "why" of the things you do in QuickBooks. My complaint is that it does not link the why to the how of accounting and QuickBooks.

It's been years since I worked with QuickBooks, so when my husband retired from a job he hated to go into business with our son, I knew I needed to purchase the QuickBooks Pro for the business. After loading it and trying to stumble around and work it, I decided this book might be a great help and it is.

Bought this as a donation for a charitable org that was learning their way through Quick Books. Very helpful information in an easy to understand format.

It has been a real help and great for when I am having an issue. I find it much easier to use the the programs help files.

Written by a CPA for other CPAs. If you don't know the accounting jargon, it is exceedingly difficult to find what you need. When you finally ask the "right" question, there is still no step by step help readily available. From my standpoint, it has been a waste of thirty bucks
