Good Book, but not what I was looking for
Rating  (4)

I have everything set up in Quickbooks already, so I was really looking for a book that would teach how to use what you already have. Instead, this book is more designed for someone who is just getting started and needs to set everything up...like payroll, inventory, etc. It's not that the book did a bad job, it just wasn't what I wanted. The Amazon explanation should be more detailed. I'm going to have to buy a reference book now which is what I should have gotten to begin with.

Learned Nothing

As a CPA I find QuickBooks frustrating and difficult to use because, sometimes, it does mysterious things with transactions and does not provide reports (also known as an audit trail) that permit someone to verify that the reports are correct. For example, transactions (receipts and disbursements) that it does not know how to handle end up in a balance sheet account called "Beginning Equity". For another, a user can get a report of cash disbursements with a total; but one would not know whether the report is consistent with the general ledger since the total of the disbursements cannot be traced to the reduction of the cash account.
QuickBooks for Dummies does nothing to remove the mystery of QuickBooks and explain how the system works. It only tells the reader how transactions should be processed but says nothing informative about how to correct mistakes. Specifically. a client received from one of his customers a check that bounced. He deleted the entry that showed the debit to cash and credit to revenue. However, in the bank reconciliation the deleted deposit showed up as a check outstanding! Why? What can be done to correct this problem without causing other, unintended consequences elsewhere in the system? The book gave no guidance how to deal with such an event.
