Anyone know Quickbooks?

I need help with Quickbooks...

I've never used it before. The guy that did it last year is gone and now its my job to enter everything from the year into it now and do all that stuff. So I have the company and the info from 2005, and I have to start doing 2006. I want to enter stuff into the profit and loss detail sheet, but I dont know how to actually enter an item, make a category for that item to go into, etc. I did the tutorials and i can do the other stuff, but it never said anything about actually how to enter items and create different categories. I need a different category for each business that we do business with, for telephone bills, etc., and then in that category I need to put all of the bills that we paid out or income that came in. How do I do this? All the accountant needs is the P/L sheet, nothing else.

Help Me!

I've never used QuickBooks--I've only seen my boss use it. However, I remember him right-clicking to add a lot of categories, details, and other things. Personally, if I were you, I'd get a copy of QuickBooks installed on your computer and play with it. Just create an imaginary company, and create a P&L for it, using made-up numbers. Consider it a learning experience--and don't be afraid to make mistakes or even start all over if you have to do so.

If that doesn't work, I would buy a book on QuickBooks from the bookstore or on Amazon. I've sure I've seen "QuickBooks for Dummies" somewhere. I'm pretty sure you could buy it for the version of QuickBooks you're using.

Finally, if all else fails, take a course in QuickBooks next semester. They offer the course at my local community college. Maybe there's one offered in your area.

I hate quickbooks. I just started using it a little for my new job and it's annoying. I'm glad I don't have to use it often. Good luck.
