eXplore
Practice
Master
eXplore QuickBooks using the chapter with numerous screen shots and detailed instructions. While we eXplore, we will focus on learning how to navigate and use QuickBooks. Chapters in Computer Accounting with QuickBooks are designed as tutorials to introduce the accounting software features. All chapters are based on realistic, virtual company scenarios to enhance your understanding of QuickBooks in the business environment.
Practice entering information and transactions into QuickBooks with end-of-chapter exercises. Exercises are designed with fewer instructions to test your understanding and, when needed, to develop your skills at quickly seeking out additional information to complete tasks. The ability to seek out information as needed, is an increasingly important skill in a rapidly changing business environment. Computer Accounting with QuickBooks is designed to facilitate your development of this crucial skill.
Master QuickBooks with projects and case studies. The projects and cases cover QuickBooks tasks from setting up a new company and entering transactions to generating QuickBooks reports. To improve long-term retention of your software skills and mastery of QuickBooks, the virtual projects and cases challenge you to apply and develop both software and problem-solving skills. Two additional mastery opportunities, Chapter 12 and Chapter 14, are comprehensive case studies to integrate your knowledge and QuickBooks skills.
