Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐PeachTree software for accounting professional is losing out to QuickBooks. As an instructor to find a textbook for PeachTree, this book is the only one. It seems easy to follow. But some of the exercises are outdated, due to the new version of PeachTree. Overall it is not a bad value.

⭐GREAT

⭐The book takes the technical users manaul and puts into a much more understandable format. The step by step process flows are very helpful. Again, Peachtree for Dummies removes the techie language and adds plain english. All in all, well done.

⭐On page 2 is the list of “Foolish Assumptions. Item 1 You already know a little something about the day to day stuff that you need to do financially to run your business- You know, write checks, bill customers, pay employees, and so on….”Of course I am starting a company and do not know how to do any of those any of those things.This book needs to be about book keeping and about book keeping on Peachtree or it can not be used by a DUMMY.The authors did not even recommend a book to do the job of teaching the materials that they assumed the user would know.You have to be an experenced accountant / bookkeeper to understand the material.-

⭐I bought this out of desperation–there is NOTHING ELSE OUT THERE, at least nothing worth using for learning Peachtree. AVERAGE usefulness for a help-me-I’m-dying guide.Can be used for a read-through tutorial, but I suggest this only if you are extremely stupid and accounting-illiterate and very bad at navigating self-explanatory computer programs. I’m 17 and have only been doing this accounting thing for 6-7 months, and was totally able to skim/skip the first 3 1/2 chapters.Don’t get me wrong. I needed this book. It simply works better as an index-reference tool (although I will warn you, the setup of the book is unusual, and you will probably need to reference 2-4 different places each time you have a question).The only thing that really bugged me was that the book is somewhat outdated and needs to be re-vamped. This book was last revised in 2004. I have Peachtree 2007 Pro. In some places, the navigation (Go Here–> Click here) was not applicable to my version of Peach and I was left on my own to find the phantasmic feature.WOULD RECOMMEND. Although finding the exact info you need can be tricky, it’s certainly faster than trying to find the answer yourself or, even worse, online.

⭐Making the jump to Peachtree from Quickbooks was difficult — not only does Peachtree do things differently than QB but it assumes and demands more accounting acumen than QB — and I found I needed help to get everything working for my small company. Peachtree is not the friendliest piece of software I’ve encountered and this book helped me “tame the beast”. I would recommend it to anyone who is starting to use Peachtree or even considering Peachtree for their business.

⭐This book is really bad. First of all, it talks about things that may not even pertain to a version of Peachtree that you’re using. For instance, it refers to the “Business Status Center” and talks a lot about it. But there is no “Business Status Center” in anything but Peachtree Complete and higher versions. It doesn’t even state that though. I went through the whole book trying to set up a small company on it and I ended up doing much better paying for Peachtree Customer support. Don’t waste your time and money!

⭐Peachtree for Dummies is an easy way to learn the basics of Peachtree Software. The book is laid out in a logical order and troubleshooting problems is a simple. I would recommend this book to anyone who is starting out in Peachtree or has just a small working knowledge of it.
