Editorial Review:

Take your students well beyond simple data entry with this latest computerized accounting solution from proven author Glenn Owen. USING PEACHTREE COMPLETE 2008 FOR ACCOUNTING, Second Edition, introduces your students to the leading Peachtree software while emphasizing the underlying accounting concepts behind the system. While other books limit their focus to how to enter data, this book underscores the importance of and need for effective accounting systems in business today.

The book combines an inviting narrative style with a self-paced format that requires minimal instructor direction. A step-by-step approach and abundance of screen captures reinforce a strong conceptual understanding of accounting without sacrificing practical applications. A continuing case, interactive learning features, and an emphasis on service and merchandising businesses further demonstrate how accounting concepts apply in today's actual computerized business systems. An academic version of Peachtree accompanies each new text, which makes this book ideal as a companion for your core text in the first accounting course or for use any time after your students gain a basic accounting background. Go beyond data entry with your students as they master the Peachtree skills and conceptual understanding found in Owen's USING PEACHTREE COMPLETE 2008 FOR ACCOUNTING, Second Edition.

A very valuable little book 5 out of 5 stars.

I consider myself very lucky. The person who gave me my Quicken 2004 software also gave me a copy of this book. The author has a real knack for explaining difficult things in terms that anyone can understand. He got me up to speed very soon and showed me a bunch of tricks for tracking my investments and handling tax stuff in Quicken.

I recommend this book to anyone who has Quicken 2004 and wants to learn it, and learn it well, in a hurry.

Publisher refuses to provide the answers for the work!! 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The book is not quite as "comprehensive" as you are led to believe since the publisher refuses to release the answers to the public! There are multiple choice questions and of course reports and other work you are required to do from chapter to chapter -- but with no answers provided! Many adult learners enjoy teaching themselves, I know that I do, but I cannot recommend this book since there is no way of knowing if you are on track or not.

Editorial Review:

Computer Accounting with QuickBooks Pro 2007 provides hands-on, step-by-step instructions for easy learning with an abundance of exercises and projects to reinforce new concepts. Each chapter builds on the previous chapter as the student progresses from entering simple transactions to using advanced QuickBooks features. The first part of the text provides a hands-on introduction to QuickBooks, and the second half focuses on maintaining a service and merchandising business, as well as on advanced features of QuickBooks. Computer Accounting with QuickBooks 2007 provides both the �big picture� overview (�Where am I going?�) and step-by-step instructions (�Where do I click?�).

Integrated Accounting for Windows 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This book assumes you have taken a basic course in accounting, or have basic accounting background. (I find that you can get by without the accounting background, but it will take longer to complete the course). I find the text very well laid out, almost self explanatory. This is the text that most Junior Colleges are using at this time. The company is very quick at resolving any questions/problems you may encounter. I reccomend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about computerized accounting.

Editorial Review:

Quite possibly the easiest-to-understand learning program you'll find, Klooster and Allen's INTEGRATED ACCOUNTING FOR WINDOWS teaches you all of the aspects of computerized accounting and the operating procedures for all Windows-based programs at the same time. The text's accompanying software mimics the commercial software packages used in business, which will help you hit the ground running when you enter the workplace. As you move through the software, more bulleted directions are available to walk you through each step. All problems feature the extremely popular Student Checker, which provides immediate feedback as you work through the problems.
