About the Author
Stephen L. Nelson, CPA, MBA (finance), MS (taxation), has a simple purpose in life: He wants to help you (and people like you) manage your business finances by using computers. Oh, sure, this personal mandate won't win him a Nobel Prize or anything, but it's his own little contribution to the world. Steve's experiences mesh nicely with his special purpose. A CPA in Redmond, Washington, his past small business experience includes a stint as an adjunct professor of taxation (S corporations and limited liability companies) at Golden Gate University graduate tax school and a few years working as a senior consultant and CPA with Arthur Andersen & Co. (er, yeah, that Arthur Andersen - but, hey, it was nearly 30 years ago). Steve, whose books have sold more than 4 million copies in English and have been translated into 11 other languages, is also the bestselling author of Quicken 2012 For Dummies. Loredana Stroup, DPhil (Oxon), MBA, has over a decade of experience working with businesses in various capacities including management consulting, software training, and technology systems design and integration. Her passion is to help people run their businesses more efficiently and effectively, especially through the use of proven digital technologies. She founded and runs Alta Training Limited which specialises in QuickBooks setups, training, and troubleshooting. Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks, has recognised her expertise and tapped it in the development, testing and launching of QuickBooks (UK), and also in engaging her to write training materials and deliver training programmes across the country.

If I were to wait until I'd reached the end of the book, either the book would be out of date - or I would. Suffice to say that, so far, it's certainly working for this dummy. It's easy to read, sometimes too easy and quite easy to understand as you go along.
Looking at further chapters which I haven't yet used, I can see that the questions (or problems) which occur should be covered sufficiently for me not to have to employ an accountant. In the end, that's the point. A small cost for the book and hopefully a large saving in fees down the line.
If you have the software, I would have thought the expense of this book would be well repaid, if only to answer some of the most obvious questions which, from time to time, seem to appear just at the wrong moment.

"QuickBooks 2012 for Dummies" is a great book. I like the programme QuickBooks, and even though you don't need to be an accountant to use this software, it does help to be a little computer savvy as the initial set up can be quite time consuming, as the size of this "manual" shows - there is much to learn about the whole recording system, when it comes to recording receipts and payments (in all their various forms) and knowing which ledger to use. Plus there's VAT, payroll, reconciliations and reporting to think about. it's all so much easier to handle with QuickBooks, but you do have to set it up correctly and practice using it regularly to get the best out of this programme and "QuickBooks 2012 for Dummies" really helped me with this.
There is so much more you can do with this software as in appendix B, where if numbers are your best friend there is much more to learn about your business with more in depth solutions.
The usual common symbols are used throughout the "For Dummies" book range, including the "Warning" bomb, which describes some things you really shouldn't do and the "reminder" icon that acts as a friendly reminder to remember to do something.
Overall, I'm impressed with this book, it's a chunky tome with lots of helpful information to improve your QuickBooks accounting skills whether you use this for your own small business or where you work.

I use Quickbooks to keep my small business accounts in order. The official manuals and tutorials are good but assume you are familar with book keeping / accountancy.
I am an Electronics Engineer and was able to cope but the Dummies book has allowed me to uncover and understand many useful features.
I now feel confident that any time I have a question about Quickbooks. I will refer to the Dummies book first.
Highly recommended

Useful, but not for dummies
This Dummies book is probably not ideal for Dummies at all. It's full of quite complicated financial and technical stuff, and it's quite a slog if you read it cover-to-cover. Read more
