Summary: I found this book useful, informative and practical
Comment: I bought this book as part of my research into setting up my own financial services consultancy. I found the book informative and practical. Even though it is unlikely that I will include the provision of basic accounting / bookkeeping in my final business model, I would still recommend this book for those planning to offer these services.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Motivator
Comment: I intended to start my own business but had absolutely no idea how to go about doing it, until I started surfing the internet for ideas and stumbled upon this book. It was definitely a blessing! I read the entire book within a few days, because it was so captivating and concise on what to do and not do. I will continue to recommend this book to others who are serious about starting their own home-based business.

Summary: Okay, but certainly not worth the price
Comment: I purchased this book based on the reviews and I have to say I was disappointed. There is some decent material in the book but it was not worth the $79 I spent on it.

Summary: Wouldn't have had the courage without this book!!
Comment: I have owned this book for almost a year now. I was looking for a new, preferably stay at home, work for myself career and I had worked in bookkeeping before. I began to brush up on my bookkeeping skills and I found this book online. I have the e-book from Julie's website. I read it all in about 2 days and got inspired. Now things are really beginning to happen for me. I completed the 2007 QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program certification about 1 week ago. I would not have had a clue about this program if it hadn't been for Julie's book. You get over $1000 worth of software and benefits for under %500 and once you complete their program you get listed on their website and get your own free website, plus many other benefits.
That being said, I am now also beginning to get referrals from clients and working with a local CPA (as recommended in the book). I have checked out many of the links and resources Julie recommended and found them invaluable. I currently choose to work out of the home only 3 days/week, and I don't have to ask anybody's permission to do this - it's my choice.
I have also purchased Julie's other 2 books on QB and budgeting and when I get a chance to read them and review them I will. But my current success has sort of limited my time at the moment. I have written Julie a few times by email and she has always responded, not with an auto reply, but a real genuine and helpful answers. Can't say enough good things about that.
Oh, and for you stay at home moms who are wondering if this is for you - I got involved because I was burned out on my current job and I wanted more time at home with my twin tots and family!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Overhyped
Comment: I was disappointed with this book. After reading all of the reviews it sounded as if it would be insightful and useful. I found it to be neither for the price that you pay for the book. Bookkeeping for Dummies was much more insightful then this book.
