Unlike any other resource,
I was very leary about spending the 89 dollars for this book but the other reviews hooked me. I am so glad they did, because this book is so helpful. I have read many, many books to teach you this or help you get started at that, and they are usually so general and vaque that they don’t really offer much in terms of real world applications. With this book, you could get started tomorrow (assuming you know bookkeeping, of course). It is honest and chock full of really great ideas and advice. I can’t believe she is sharing this with all of us- it feels like talking to a good friend who is willing to tell you all the advantages and pitfalls of her line of work. It is not written as an inspirational book but it ends up being one because it really makes it clear that this dream of owning your own business and being successful can become a reality- at least if you follow the great advice in this book. Buy it, you won’t regret it.

|Wouldn’t have had the courage without this book!!,
I have owned this book for almost a year now. I was looking for a new, preferably stay at home, work for myself career and I had worked in bookkeeping before. I began to brush up on my bookkeeping skills and I found this book online. I have the e-book from Julie’s website. I read it all in about 2 days and got inspired. Now things are really beginning to happen for me. I completed the 2007 QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program certification about 1 week ago. I would not have had a clue about this program if it hadn’t been for Julie’s book. You get over $1000 worth of software and benefits for under %500 and once you complete their program you get listed on their website and get your own free website, plus many other benefits.
That being said, I am now also beginning to get referrals from clients and working with a local CPA (as recommended in the book). I have checked out many of the links and resources Julie recommended and found them invaluable. I currently choose to work out of the home only 3 days/week, and I don’t have to ask anybody’s permission to do this – it’s my choice.
I have also purchased Julie’s other 2 books on QB and budgeting and when I get a chance to read them and review them I will. But my current success has sort of limited my time at the moment. I have written Julie a few times by email and she has always responded, not with an auto reply, but a real genuine and helpful answers. Can’t say enough good things about that.
Oh, and for you stay at home moms who are wondering if this is for you – I got involved because I was burned out on my current job and I wanted more time at home with my twin tots and family!

|Gives you the basic start you need.,
So you’re going to start a business, and if you have any money left over at the end of the year you’re going to save part of it and spend part of it. OK, but your business partner isn’t going to like that very much. ‘What, you say you don’t have a business partner?’ Yes, you do, and he usually goes by the initials IRS.
Since you’re reading this review, you obviously have, or have access to a computer. Your first thought is to go buy an accounting package. OK, that’s a good idea. But those packages start throwing around funny words like ‘General Ledger,’ ‘Accrual,’ and ‘Balance Sheet.’
This book starts earlier than that and starts you off with a paper based accounting system. After you know what you are doing, then it discusses three accounting packages: Simply Accounting Pro, Peachtree Accounting, and QuickBooks. Hint: A lot of banks seem to like QuickBooks and may sell it to their customers at a deep discount, or even give away at no charge.
A Request to the Author, or to anyone else reading this. There are a bunch of free accounting systems on the net. Are any of them any good? Maybe one (or more) of them could be included in the next edition of the book, or on the eTips website.

|Great Book!,
I am a Business Manager and I have read this book myself. I think it is an essential guide for anyone who is apart of a bookkeeping staff. It is a really good book that has the basics of accounting principals, but offers more information on supporting Accountants or Accounting Pros. I have given this book to others who are in Accounts Payable or Receivable positions or those who may want to understand their own personal financials. I highlighted throughout the book. Sometimes you forget the foundation to accounting and finance is bookkeeping. I found it to be a nice refresher/reminder. Worth the $$$

|Maybe I just have a mental block –,
I’m a smart girl but I STILL cannot make heads or tails out of bookkeeping. Although I now understand credits and debits, the journal entering and what not just didn’t make sense. The book seemed to be too general for me. I really needed more detailed, beginner-friendly information and guidance. Maybe if you have a general idea of how bookkeeping works, this book will work for you. I, on the other hand, bought this book having absolutely no knowledge of bookkeeping, and unfortunately, I still don’t.
