Hi, I've downloaded Quickbook Simple Start and I found "What do I do first?" and "Check out the tutorials" to be quite helpful. Does anyone know where I might find a more complete tutorial, something that, say, takes a typical company thru a few months or so. Yes, I know that one way or the other I'm going to have to buy Quickbooks Pro sooner or later, but working with the free version for a while will tell me if what I have in mind is doable without spending anything to find out.

Simple is so crippled that I doubt anyone can make a sound assessment based on what they see. Its like trying to deside if you want to marry a someone and the only part of that person you have knowledge of is their arm pit.

Do you recall the poem: "Ode to a lump of green clay I found in my armpit one morning?"

You might find some of the materials here useful: http://www.quickbooksgroup.com/qblibrary/tutorials/. Even the tutorials for Pro might help you if you are new to QB. -- Laura "Gary" <gary412@verizon.net> wrote in message news:8HHXj.353$ju1.301@trndny06...

What do you have in minde? Maybe we can tell you if it is doable or not. Or, you can get a 30 day trial of QB Pro or Premier to try it out. Michelle L.

Thanks Laura and Michelle, Laura's suggestions were helpful. What I hope to do is start a mini-busines doing bookkeeping for small businesspeople. I did an "internship" with a guy today, and he's been using Quickbooks Simple Start for a while, snd he says it's quite adequate for his needs.

Wow, you want to make a living using QB and choose Simple to learn on. So it is you who shall inherit the earth.

Gary If you want to keep the books for others, you REALLY at least QB Pro. Simple Start is too limited and doesn't have very many reports at all. You're right that SS is ok for small, service based businesses, but not if you're be doing bookkeeping for several businesses. Besides, most people outgrow SS fairly quickly and want more featues & report. You can get QB Pro for close to $150 at a wholesale club. Later, you should try to move up to QB Premier Acct edition (or better yet, join the QB ProAdvisor Program). Michelle L.
