CPA's opinion of Contractor's Guide to Quickbooks Pro

I consider this book to be the best on the market for contractors who use quickbooks. I recommend this to clients who use Quickbooks and are in the contstruction industry, or any other line of work that uses job costing. It has many illustrations which make it easy for bookkeepers for whom English is a second language.The attached CD-ROM is a nice addition which can help contractors who are just getting started get their books set up quickly.
