Packt Mastering QuickBooks 2024 - Fifth Edition: Bookkeeping with US QuickBooks Online for small businesses

This book has been very helpful. I would highly recommend for beginners.

Currently studying accounting, I was looking for a book on Quickbooks because at my school we do not learn it. It is rather Sage and Acomba who are put forward.As a French Canadian, it was difficult for me to find a book on QBO that was complete so I chose this book even if it is in US Edition. Of course, the United States and Canada do not have the same laws, forms (Ex: 1099 Contractors(US) while it is a T4A(Quebec, Canada), but understanding how QBO works was my priority because I will be on internship with a company that uses it and I could understand all the functions even more because I only took the basic option on QBO as part of my self-taught study. I find this software very modern and will be even more popular for years to come.Thank you Crystalynn for your expertise, you explained very well the functions of Quickbooks!

The author did a very thorough job of explaining much of QBO - how it works, what you need to do, and where to start. Since initial set-up is so key to getting the information you need, my only criticism would be that it did not have a good explanation of Categories vs. Classes vs. Tags vs Projects vs. Customer Type and best practical uses (suggested) for each. To be fair QBO is constantly changing so information may have not been available at the time of writing. It's a great resource for information though. If you use QBO, get it!

I am happy I got this book. I wish it had more practice that I could do.

I am still going back to this book to help out, I suggest sticky tabs for quick reference.
