Glencoe Publishing:
Introduction to QuickBooks®

by Douglas Sleeter

For individuals and small businesses, QuickBooks® continues to be one of the best ways to manage accounting. Learning how to use QuickBooks is made easy in the tutorial, Introduction to QuickBooks®, by Douglas Sleeter.

Using Sleeter’s tutorial method, students will gain confidence in every aspect of QuickBooks® by trying out each feature, accomplishing problems and simulations of “real” businesses. The well-illustrated text leads students step-by-step to understanding. With their student template disk, they get the practice to achieve operating skill. This is a book they’ll want to keep for reference, with a comprehensive appendix, a valuable index, and a helpful glossary of terms.

Instructors receive a student disk, and manual with teaching ideas and test answers.

The package was developed by Douglas Sleeter, a leading U.S. educator on QuickBooks®, along with a consulting team of accounting teachers, business computer specialists, and prominent industry systems managers. In short, this tutorial shows students the tips of the trade by those who know how a business works; and it gives teachers class-proven ideas in getting students up-to-speed.

In a clear fashion, students move from recording transactions, to recording adjustments and finalizing the records. They learn to use the cornerstone equation—assets equals liabilities plus equity—to accomplish everyday record keeping and business management. They will be able to use QuickBooks® to handle receipts, invoices, sales, deposits, payments, and billing. They will know how to manage transactions involving checks, cash, or credit cards. The practice disk gives them an opportunity to try out taking care of sales discounts, partial payments, finance charges, vendor credits, reconciliations, and bounced checks. Students will create reports, set up inventory, collect sales tax, handle year-end, and print checks. Although many diverse features are covered, the concepts are presented in graduated order to facilitate understanding.
