Computer Accounting with QuickBooks Pro® 2006 makes learning QuickBooks software convenient and easy.

What distinguishes this book is quite simple: while software training materials usually focus on the software, this text focuses on the learner—incorporating sound pedagogy and instructional techniques that make learning software as effortless as possible.

Using a hands-on approach, the text integrates understanding accounting with mastery of the software. Each chapter builds on the previous chapter as you progress from entering simple transactions to using QuickBooks’ advanced features. The text provides both the “big picture” overview (“Where am I going?”) and step-by-step instructions (“Where do I click?”).

Designed for flexibility in meeting the learner’s needs, the text can be used either in a QuickBooks course or by an individual who wants to learn QuickBooks at his or her own pace. The text can be used with QuickBooks® 2006, QuickBooks Pro® 2006, QuickBooks Premier® 2006, or QuickBooks Premier® 2006: Accountant Edition.

The text begins with a vignette describing the realistic travails of a software user. Subsequent chapters continue the case that runs throughout the text. The case approach requires the learner to apply both software skills and problem-solving skills. End-of-chapter exercises and virtual company projects offer additional practice using the software.

Online assignments in each chapter provide web sites with useful information for small business accounting. A real world project walks students through the design and development of a QuickBooks accounting system for a real company.
