Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting 2006 Step by Step [With CD ROM]

Curtis Frye and John Pierce have put together an excellent tutorial for its intended market. The market for this book appears to be small business person(s) with little or no accounting training. Business owner(s) that have grown enough that they have a few employees (two to ten) or are about to start employing a few people. They produce a product(s) or they wholesale products. For other categories of small business owners, the book is of limited value. This book like all of the books that I have seen produced by Microsoft (MS) falls far short of helping the independent entrepreneurial spirit that is developing his business and has no employees as such. Business people like the authors of books, magazine writers, independent sales representatives, any independent professional, and many others. Although, Microsoft has a set of tools that can be used very successfully used in all of those endeavors, and many others I'm sure. In particular, MS Small Business Accounting, the subject of this book, tied into MS Office for Small Business with Contact Manager is of great potential value to these types of business people.
