The Barnes & Noble Review
Don￯﾿ﾽt just buy QuickBooks 2005: use it. Get all the practical, friendly help you￯﾿ﾽll need, from Kathy Ivens￯﾿ﾽs QuickBooks 2005: The Official Guide. It￯﾿ﾽs the only Intuit-authorized guide to QuickBooks 2005, but more important -- it￯﾿ﾽs really good.

Step by step, Ivens helps you get over the ￯﾿ﾽhump￯﾿ﾽ that keeps many small businesses from getting results with QuickBooks. She covers every facet of basic bookkeeping: invoicing, payables, receivables, inventory, payroll, account reconciliation, and much more. That￯﾿ﾽs the hard work, but Ivens doesn￯﾿ﾽt scant the payoff: the financial reports, job costing assistance, and business insights your QuickBooks data can deliver.

It￯﾿ﾽs not just in plain English: it￯﾿ﾽs realistic. Ivens specializes in bridging the gaps between the world of accounting, the somewhat different world of QuickBooks, and the real world small-business people actually live in. Bill Camarda, from the January 2005 Read Only
