Designed to present accounting concepts and their relationship to QuickBooks 2015, QuickBooks® 2015: A Complete Course is a comprehensive instructional learning resource. The Sixteenth Edition uses fictitious companies and the QuickBooks® Premier Accountant 2015 accounting program to provide hands-on training while it introduces major accounting concepts. Readers have ample opportunity to apply the concepts they learn about in the book and software, and transition from training to using QuickBooks 2015 in an actual business.
While the book was written using the 2015 Accountant's version of QuickBooks Premier, it may be used with the Pro version of the program as well. (Because of the many differences between the Windows and Mac versions of QuickBooks, this book should not be used for training using QuickBooks for the Mac.) No prior knowledge of or experience with computers, Windows, or QuickBooks is required; however, an understanding of accounting, specifically the accounting cycle and how it is related to a business, is essential to successful completion of the coursework.
