[A. Catherine Noon · Rating 5 out of 5]

I bought this when I joined the board of a non-profit and agreed to help with the bookkeeping. While I'm no longer on the board, and don't use QuickBooks, I found this book enormously helpful. It's a great primer for setting up your financials, running the right kinds of reports you need to run, etc.

Highly recommended.
