QuickBooks 2012: The Missing Manual

Your bookkeeping workflow will be smoother and faster with QuickBooks 2012 for Windows--but only if you spend more time using the program than figuring out how it works. This book puts you in control: you get step-by-step instructions on how and when to use specific features, along with basic accounting advice to guide you through the learning process.

The important stuff you need to know:

• Get started. Set up your accounts, customers, jobs, and invoice items quickly.
• Manage your business. Track spending, income, invoices, inventory, and payroll.
• Spend less time on bookkeeping. Use QuickBooks to create invoices or timesheets in batches.
• Follow the money. Examine everything from billable time and expenses to year-end tasks.
• Find key info quickly. Rely on QuickBooks' vendor, customer, inventory, and employee centers.
• Exchange data with other programs. Move data between QuickBooks and Microsoft Office.
