Computer Accounting with QuickBooks 2004 teaches students how to use the QuickBooks 2004 version computer accounting software. The first part of the text provides a hands-on introduction to QuickBooks, and the second half of the text focuses on a service and merchandising business, as well as advanced features of QuickBooks. This book provides step-by-step instructions for easy learning with an abundance of exercises and projects to reinforce new concepts. Using a hands-on approach, the text integrates understanding accounting with mastery of the software. Each chapter builds on the previous chapter as you progress from entering simple transactions to using the QuickBooks advanced features. The text provides both the big picture overview (Where am I going?) and step-by-step instructions (Where do I click?).
