Very Pleased 1 Sep 2009

By Sweetpea

Format:Paperback

I was very pleased with Sage 50 Accounts for Dummies. I had previously ordered Sage 50 Accounts 2009 in Easy Steps, but when it arrived I didn't feel it had enough detail for me so I returned it. I wanted something that would really "hold my hand" as I learnt more about our accounts procedures at work. I work in an accounts department where there are only 2 admin staff so there will be times when I won't have anyone else to ask. This book certainly fits the bill. It is very clearly laid out with lots of screen shots and explanations on how to deal with all the paperwork that comes in to an accounts office and getting it on to Sage. I think it would be very helpful if Sage actually issued this instead of their own very wordy and rather daunting manual!
