This text captures students' interest by putting them in the role of an accountant for a small business. Students learn the QuickBooks software while completing assignments for the company owner.
Abundant End-of-Chapter Material continues with the student in the role of accountant by providing additional assignments from the president of the company. These assignments range from entering transactions to generating complex reports and financial statements. Internet assignments in each chapter connect to web sites with useful information for small business accounting.
Fearless Paint Company is an integrated example used throughout the second half of the book where the student assumes the role of small business owner. The company starts out as a sole proprietorship, then grows and becomes a merchandising corporation. This building block approach is used to gradually introduce students to new concepts, while maintaining the continuity and interest in the company.
In Section 2, there are two comprehensive projects in each chapter that review concepts and provide students practice in setting up businesses. Appendix B presents a comprehensive project as a capstone for the course. This project guides the student through the process of using QuickBooks for a real company, from setting up the chart of accounts, to creating memorized reports.
For both currency and flexibility, two new topics, Using Word and Excel with QuickBooks and Online Features of QuickBooks, will be covered in their own appendices.
