This is a fantastic book!!! I love all the screenshots! It is not too advanced but is also a great resource for those already familiar with QBO as well! Alicia is fantastic - I have watched some of her webinars and she is a genius! I love the conversational way she writes, too. This book is like an instruction book/dictionary for QBO...just turn to the section you need a little help with and there it is! There are a lot of tips and tricks that she shows, too!
