Summary

Contractor's Guide to QuickBooks Pro will walk you step-by-step through QuickBooks Pro's detail setup procedure and then explain item-by-item how you should be using QuickBooks Pro every day in a construction office. In days, rather than weeks, you'll create a first-rate accounting system that's an asset to your company.

In this "fully -loaded" manual, you'll simple, well-illustrated instructions for customizing the QuickBooks Pro setup. It shows what each screen on your monitor should look like, and explains every choice you need to make and every button you need to click on. But this isn't just a book about QuickBooks Pro. It includes a trial version of QuickBooks Pro and two programs you'll want to use when estimating costs with QuickBooks Pro.
