Reader Reviews
I got audited once by the IRS. When I went in I took four or five inches of paper, most of it generated on the computer by Quicken. Any question I was asked I simply pulled out the appropriate printout to show how I had gotten to the number I had put on the form. I can't say how much having all this documentation saved, but I suspect it was substantial. Quicken is probably the most popular generalized accounting packaged in use by individuals and small businesses. Over the years it has gotten better and better. So have the books that describe Quicken. This book describes the new Quicken 2007. The author uses the Premier version, but most of what he discusses is applicable to any version, (Premier has more stuff on handling investments). In keeping with the Dummies Books Philosophy, it is written in a light and amusing manner while providing the information needed to get the most out of the software package. Also, as a 'Dummies' book, this book really isn't intended for dummies, but for people with little or no experience with Quicken. As such, some of the fancier features are not treated with the depth you might want if you're already a Quicken user. But if you're just getting started with Quicken you'd have to look a long ways to find a better place to start.
