Format:Perfect Paperback
Having tried the new Microsoft Office Accounts Professional I felt I needed some help with setting up and using it.
Well this book is written for the USAnian user. It doesn't mention VAT but does gives examples of USA tax forms. It gave little advice about the use of Departments or Jobs for analyis.
No real help about which template might be most suitable for different organisations - for example an organisation which has members and does not sell things.
Much of the book is rather pointless re-stating of the online hints.
I was disappointed and can only warn UK/EU users that this book is not for them.

Yes the book is written for the American market, but does go a long way to explaining how the software works. microsoft has altered the names so items in the American software become jobs in the English version. That was the only question that I had to ask the Microsoft support people, and had i not got the book, i am sure there would have been a great deal more. But the book was a great help to me in explaining how things work, and got me to be happier with the software than i would have been if I hadn't read it. As a result of the book explaining to me the depth of the software I am going to take the plunge and buy the multi user version of the software, and am treating myself and the company to a fully fledged network so that I can grow my business and remain profitable while i am doing it.

Only one Book on the subject
16 July 2008
Format:Perfect Paperback
This book is not written for the real world small business owner. Whomever wrote this book has no concept of pedagogy. The simplest tasks are rendered difficult because the writer failed to explain trivial but yet crucial steps to take in some instances. I usually don't write negative reviews. However, this book has given me so many headaches that i had to tell the truth about it. The only good thing about this book is that it is the only one written on the subject. If microsoft cannot get good writers to write books about MS accounting 2007-2008 therefore keep your money and buy Quickbooks software instead. By the way there are at least 20 books written on Quickbooks.

Great opportunity
3 Oct 2008
Format:Perfect Paperback
Microsoft Press met its responsibility to support a new product like Microsoft Office Accounting (MOA) in its usual way -- a rushed, superficial account of program features and a simplistic set of examples. This is a far cry from the Microsoft Press of twenty years ago, which produced knowledgeable, detailed and genuinely helpful books about a smaller line of Microsoft products.
Over time, as has happened with other Microsoft products, independent writers will invest efforts to learn the product's long list of currently undocumented features and behaviors, experiment with it in realistic settings, and write books oriented to more than casual users. We have used the precursor to MOA to manage a business for a little over two years and found, despite a clumsy and confusing user interface, that it provided good value for the cost, as compared with other popular over-the-counter accounting software, which we previously used.
A major missing element to make MOA a success is a detailed description of all program features and behaviors, including migrating, upgrading, importing, exporting, and using the several add-ons that connect to banks, payroll, collections and other third-party services -- with realistic examples that include the numerous variations required in a variety of practical business settings. As of fall, 2008, this remains a great opportunity for a technically inclined writer who understands business practices and accountimg.

Adequate

Format:Perfect Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Program advertised as not requiring accounting skills. This book should have taken on the same philosophy. It tells you how to manipulate through the tabs but is lacking in scenarios for common accounting situations...how do you handle employee expense acounts for example. Tech folks are smart but they often have a problem communicating with a user.
