Product Description
Product Description
Running, or working in, a small business can be a highly rewarding experience – especially if the businessowner knows how to make the most of financial management tools, such as the accounting software QuickBooks.
QuickBooks 2003 For Dummies shows you how to turn your PC into a valued business partner. Bookkeeping becomes a breeze as you discover ways and means to
- Track accounts receivable and payable
- Set up online baking and bill paying
- Monitor inventory
- Print checks
- Pay your employees
- Prepare quarterly and annual tax returns
The number–crunching know–how of QuickBooks automation comes in several flavors: QuickBooks Basic, QuickBooks Pro, and QuickBooks Premier. QuickBooks Pro adds advanced job–costing and time–estimating features. QuickBooks Premier build on all that with features for accountants and auditors who want to use QuickBooks for rather large small businesses. QuickBooks 2003 For Dummies explores the nuances of these variations, with information and insight into
- Entering names of products, employees, customers, and vendors into lists
- Installing QuickBooks for network use
- Printing credit memos in a batch
- Tracking customer open invoices and collections
- Adjusting inventory records to reflect what′s really in stock
- Balancing a non–online bank account
- Restoring your QuickBooks data (if you lose it)
You don′t need to know much about accounting or double–entry bookkeeping to use QuickBooks, which is most of its appeal. With the power of QuickBooks 2003 For Dummies, financial details can be tamed the fun and easy way as get down to the business of building your moneymaking enterprise.

Format:Paperback
Thia book is not for me. Too much padding and not enough factual information. I like to be able to find straightforward answers to questions and carry out functions in a logical sequence. The book fails on both counts. It should show far more screen shots to guide and prepare the reader. The Microsoft 'At a Glance' series has the right format for guiding one through use of software. I would not recommend 'Quickbooks 2003 for Dummies' to a new user of Quickbooks. Maybe I will find it more useful once I have the thing up and running for a while.

Important information missing...
4 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
While I enjoy the lighthearted style of any "For Dummies" book, perhaps a book focusing on two of the most frustrating topics for small business owners - computers and accounting - might want to concentrate more on useful content, and minimize the space used up by cutesy comments.
I was disappointed with the lack of information on using classes, and customizing billing items and invoice forms.
I use several Intuit products: QuickBooks, Quicken, and QuickTax. The software is generally very good, but it does have it's limitations in "customizability" for special accounting/ bookkkeeping requirements. I had hoped that I might also get some helpful workarounds in those areas from this book. I didn't -- and am now looking to other QB authors in the hope of finding that "not-necessarily-power-user" information. Perhaps the 2002 version will cover different issues.

Dog-eared and coffee-stained, for good reason!
15 July 2003
Format:Paperback
I have 4 different books on using QB, including this one. Know what? The book I always finding myself reaching for first is this one!
The chapters 17 thru 21 are an especially nice treat; they are not really QB-specific, (so some might argue that these chapters are "filler"), but they are incredibly interesting ways of looking at your business! Like a said, a nice treat. This is the first book I've found that gave a CLEAR and interesting explanation of double-entry bookkeeping. (It doesn't make sense to learn QB if you don't pick up at least a **little** accounting rules along the way!)

The "style" of this book is very friendly, and you'll find it is a very fast read; maybe it's because the explanations about WHY QB does things the way it does MAKES SENSE!
Keep up the good work, Mr. Nelson, this book is a gem!

Not Recommended
22 July 2003
Format:Paperback
I am disappointed with this book. The author does not get to the important points, but distracts the readers with unnecessary details. He started off some sections by introducing two methods, recommends one of them and says that he will talk about the other one. But he never did.
Unless you have not used a computer for the last few years, you will not learn much from this book.
