"Any lawyer using QuickBooks in his or her office will find this a very valuable resource."
- Julie Zevchek, Executive Office Solutions, Inc.
A very well written book and easy to follow and understand. Caren also makes sure that we understand the legal terminology and how it applies in QuickBooks. I really appreciated the many QuickBooks screenshots she included in her book because it made it that much easier to follow along and see how transactions and reports were created and later used (especially great for us visual learners).
