Better than QuickBooks

Better than QuickBooks® Tutorials, New Book Teaches Easiest, Simplest Learning Method Yet











Better than help tutorials, the new book “QuickBooks Made Fast and Simple” is the quickest, easiest way to learn QuickBooks


Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 15, 2011

QuickBooks Tutor today announced the release of its new book, QuickBooks Made Fast and Simple. The book, which poses the question, “Why pay a high-priced accountant to get caught up when you can do it yourself quickly and easy?” is available on Amazon.com in paperback and as an instant e-book download on the QuickBooks Tutor website.

Written by Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor Mike Russell, the book is radically different from other how-to books and tutorials on the popular accounting software because it helps users learn the Cash Basis method of accounting.

“This is significant,” says Russell, “because it streamlines the learning process for small business people who don’t need to use more formal Accrual Basis accounting. It cuts hours off the learning curve and makes QuickBooks much easier to use.”

According to Russell, “It’s also the only book in the world that helps QuickBooks users catch up with their bookkeeping after they have fallen behind while using the popular QuickBooks accounting software.”

Most small businesses already use the Cash Basis method for their bookkeeping anyway, explains Russell, noting that it’s also how most file their taxes. This makes the approach particularly useful for businesses that are three or more months behind in their bookkeeping and want to use the fastest possible method to get caught up.

QuickBooks Made Fast and Simple provides easy, step-by-step instructions and screenshot illustrations that walk users through the entire process. Users follow the pictures and simple guidance screen by screen. By completing practice sets for a fictional business, users quickly learn how to adapt the approach to their own books.

Russell estimates the average user can complete the 238-page book in four hours or less—a significantly faster path to proficiency than other QuickBooks tutorials or manuals.

Russell says the book is suitable for learning virtually any recent Pro, Premiere or Enterprise version of QuickBooks. This book is not suitable for the online or simple start versions of QuickBooks.

According to small business owner Nick Johnson of Innovative Systems, the book delivers on the promise of its title. “QuickBooks Made Fast and Simple is so easy to use that I now understand how my bookkeeping work comes together. This book just saved me a lot of money in bookkeeping fees, and I’m sure it will for others,” he said.

Russell is so confident that the book is exactly what small businesses need that he offers a satisfaction guarantee if readers aren’t completely happy with it. “You’ll either love this book, or I’ll give you your money back,” he said.

For more information about QuickBooks Made Fast and Simple or QuickBooks Tutor, or to purchase the e-book, visit the company’s website at http://www.quickbookstutor.com. Or, to order a hard copy version, search for the title on Amazon.com.

Austin, Texas-based QuickBooks Tutor provides hands-on QuickBooks classes, bookkeeping, tax preparation and QuickBooks tutoring services to help small businesses. As an Intuit site licensed teacher and Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Mike Russell is one of the most experienced QuickBooks users in the country and has taught hundreds of small business owners and employees in QuickBooks classes since 2004. His new book is based on what he learned from his students as a classroom instructor.

Experience the Wonders of Heaven in This New Book

Experience the Wonders of Heaven in This New Book











Belchertown, MA (PRWEB) August 02, 2011

Many questions of what Heaven is like have been asked time and time again. In the new book Jonathan Stone and the Kingdom (published by CrossBooks). The author A R Duprey writes about the wonders of Heaven through the eyes of a fictional character named Jonathan Stone.

Jonathan has already passed away and now lives in eternity in Heaven where he enjoys all the benefits of the kingdom. Readers will join him on this spectacular journey that normally takes a lifetime to experience. Jonathan sees how the Lord has met everyone’s individual needs, he is reintroduced to people he met on Earth and even gets to hear the preaching of not only Moses and the Apostle Paul, but the teachings of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit on a very personal level.

The book is very simple to read, with easy language that speaks of the deep truths of the faith, introducing readers to a loving and just God and an all-sufficient Savior. The reader will experience God through the life of a fictional character. The book speaks to the heart and the words tugs at the heart strings of man. Anyone who reads it will be greatly encouraged because it is not a book of condemnation, but a book of the God who continually demonstrates his love and meets all the needs of his people.

Jonathan Stone and the Kingdom was written using over 243 Scripture references and many, many more were weaved throughout the conversations within the book. Mr. Duprey formed each topic by hearing a sermon or reading the Bible.

Readers will experience what the second coming of Christ may be like: the judgment, the great assembly of the Saints, the coming of New Jerusalem and exploring Heaven itself in the life of Jonathan Stone and the Kingdom.

Having previewed over 1000 book apps, reviewer Carisa Kluver selects 25 apps she recommends as a foundation for a well-rounded collection, including “Treasure Kai and the Lost Gold of Shark Island,” a treasure hunt adventure book she describes as having “a wonderful game quality that gets kids reading and nice animated elements that don’t overshadow the story…a reading experience that is like no other.”

Responsible Readers Rejoice: America’sBookShelf.Com Poised to Make Accessing Quality Books Both Socially and Ecologically Sound

Responsible Readers Rejoice: America’sBookShelf.Com Poised to Make Accessing Quality Books Both Socially and Ecologically Sound












Minden, NV (PRWEB) May 16, 2006 –-

Each new best selling book title represents a chance to be informed or entertained, to see things in a slightly new way. Unfortunately, too many of those books are read once and then placed on a shelf to catch dust. For all the joy people know in passing on a cherished book to another reader, few of us have the chance. And every book not passed on represents a use of paper that will never be reclaimed.

America’sBookShelf.Com (http://www.americasbookshelf.com) is a brand-new web site dedicated to both book sharing and ecological stewardship made easy. Readers enjoy a chance to pass previously enjoyed titles on to other readers and can receive a steady supply of new books delivered conveniently by US Mail. And for a limited time, they are offering free one year memberships to the next 10,000 new members.

Home delivery can be very important to people who live in the country, shut-ins, or anyone who simply wants convenience. “We read a lot of books, enjoy movies and live in a semi-rural area,” said Deb Denkler, COO of America’sBookShelf.Com, and co-owner of the site with her husband, Bill. “When Netflix came along, Bill and I found it perfect for our lifestyles.”

The couple decided to combine the Netflix business model with their desire to save trees and create community. America’sBookShelf.com works for both people needing books and for readers willing to share. The service lets members request books from among titles listed on their website, keep them with no late fees and hold on to the books for as long as they please. Hardcover or paperback books are delivered to their door for $ 3.50 each, using pre-purchased Book Credits. Members can request books they want to read from the site at http://www.americasbookshelf.com and receive them in the mail.

However, the books do not come from some sterile warehouse in Delaware. Instead, the books come from the users themselves. The Denklers realized that people have a lot of books they have read and are anxious to share. Passing a well-loved book between members is, a unique and satisfying way to build community. As such, their site allows users to post titles they are willing to pass along. When someone requests a book featured on the site, America’sBookShelf.Com sends the person listing the book post-paid shipping materials. Simply place the book in the mail and soon someone will be enjoying a recycled book.

“We wanted each member to be part of the America’sBookShelf community,” Denkler said. “Our members easily upload 10 or more books into the database.”

This is not just an issue of helping people be good neighbors, though. It’s a way for the Denklers to make sure their business is part of the forward-looking eco-friendly business community. They purchase green tags from Nativeenergy.com, supply their office with as many recycled products as possible and are a certified member of Co-opAmerica.org’s Green Business Network. They have been featured in SustainaBlog.com and Treehugger.com.

“We wanted America’sBookShelf.Com to be involved in the green movement by helping people recycle books between their homes and across the nation,” Denkler said. “America’sBookShelf.Com members can help save one tree from the pulp and paper mills with every 65 books shared.”

To coincide with their Earth Day launch, America’sBookShelf.Com is giving away the next 10,000 one year memberships for free.
