Turning Dummies into smarties :) May 17, 2007
I have had my Quickbooks software for almost two years now. The only part of the whole entire download I could ever figure out how to use was my employees information files, and sending invoices. I own a construction company and have no bookkeeping education, and figured my investment was a very big waste of money. The language was geared towards college graduates in the field. The different catagories did not pertain to my business needs...and without understanding what those catagory titles meant to begin with...I may have well been reading greek. My last resort before scrapping the whole intire software and hiring a firm to do my bookkeeping, was to buy the Dummies book for Quikbooks. Within the first hour of reading a few pages..and scimming over topics of importance to me and my company..I was entering invoices that had been paid, setting up ledgers, writing payroll checks etc. My first dealings with the Dummies books was years ago when I happened across one that was Internet for Dummies. Every Dummies book since then has been nothing short of a blessing to me. They ALL are so brilliantly worded and illistraited, that it is as if someone is standing right in front of you talking to you in every day lamen language. I truly believe that anyone who has a problem with anything where there is a Dummies book to help on that subject...you'd be a fool not to buy it. I look forward to having my own library section of Dummy books and will continue to learn learn learn!

I am a network administrator, so I don't use this book directly. It seems to serve my end user's purpose though, so from that perspective it's a good book.

All of the 'dummies' series of books have been helpful. This one is no exception. Whenever the 'docs' from any program are written for programmers, I turn to this series to find out how to really run the software. It should be included with the software package.

Quickbooks 2005 for Dummies - Good for new users! Nov 05, 2006
The Quickbooks 2005 for Dummies Book worked quite well for me... Well written with plain english explainations it got me going. It is understandable even if you don't understand the accounting lingo. This book does not assume that you are an expert at operating a computer either. It is great for beginners that have to do the accounting for a small business themselves and yet don't have a lot of accounting experience. It explains everything needed to perform the most needed accounting functions of a small business.
The only reason the book I didn't give the book 5 stars was that it doesn't cover some of the more advanced features of Quickbooks 2005 which I still need to learn. But this book was written for the person that needs to computerize their small business accounting quickly.
