Description:
Managing Your Business with QuickBooks 6 goes to great lengths to explain what's involved in converting an existing accounting system to QuickBooks. That information is valuable, since many small-business owners are reluctant to tamper with proven systems. The authors tell how to prepare for the conversion, and walk you through the process of carrying it out. This book then explains how to use all the key features of QuickBooks and QuickBooks Pro, though other books provide more thorough information in this area. The authors also make recommendations about how to integrate computerized bookkeeping into your established business procedures. In that way, Managing Your Business with QuickBooks 6 is perhaps better suited to providing advance information to those who have not yet installed the software than solving problems for those already using it. This book's strong point is its appendix, which lists the customizations you should make to tailor QuickBooks to various kinds of businesses. This appendix suggests, for example, that construction companies use classes to distinguish new construction work from remodeling jobs, and that lawyers track multiple cases for the same customer as jobs. --David Wall
