QuickBooks Online For Dummies (For Dummies Series)

Just what I required. Pretty easy to understand.

Average it didn’t have all the information I needed

too early to say. ask me when I have had a chance to work with it in more detail

So so

It explained QuickBooks very well.

I use it as a reference the odd time, it was bought for me by wife as a present, but if you have the basic understanding of bookkeeping, and only do a limited amount then it's great. I think if you want to pursue a occupation in bookkeeping then a proper course would be far more beneficial, especially one that is classroom based rather that online. Again if it's as a quick reference not bad ? But most questions can be answered online using QuickBooks or Google.

Great for most of the capacities of Quickbooks but I'm sure there are features inside that evolve faster than any publication could keep up with.

Pluses: Thorough explanation of QuickBooks Online. User oriented presentation. Advice and guidance as promised. Minuses: Not really aimed at dummies, or maybe I'm dumber than most. Very basic setup (e.g. what income categories to use; how to categorize expenditures) isn't presented. The screenshots are helpful, even necessary but they're printed so lightly that they're hard to read.

This book is well written: it flows and is an easy read. The reason for only 3 stars is no fault of the writer but of the software and print quality. I started using QuickBooks Online some months ago and was enormously frustrated by it so advance ordered this book. I thought it was my learning curve but the books shows that QBO cannot do what I thought would be its basic strengths as on online system. In fact, it cannot do anything but very basic accounting and payroll. So, about a third of this slim version is devoted to the average QBO user. At least a third to CPAs who use this for their clients. The last third is about the Chrome browser. So, with two thirds of the book useless to me, I am returning the book and looking for new accounting software. One other problem is that the publishers scrimped on ink so the diagrams and screen shots are difficult to see any detail; kind of grey and blurry.
