I wish the help menu was more extensive and allowed more information on reports and general ledger.
Jennifer replies:
I agree that the internal QB help is somewhat lacking.
I have a question for you. Are you saying that you wish the instructions had more help for CREATING reports, or are you saying that you wish that the instructions had more help to understand what the reports mean?
If you want help to understand what the reports mean, you can do an internet search for any of these terms:
balance sheet help
profit and loss help
general ledger help
income statement help
cash flow statement help
You’ll get a ton of sites where these reports are explained.
My name is Jennifer Johnson and I’ve worked in the accounting industry since 1992, mostly as a freelance bookkeeper and QuickBooks consultant for small, privately-held firms. I had clients across the country and was certified in QuickBooks from about 2004 to 2011. I wrote a number of ebooks about QuickBooks during that time. In 2011 I accepted a full-time staff position with my largest client, and sold my bookkeeping practice. I finished my undergraduate degree in accounting in 2016, and then my masters in accountancy in 2018. I now teach accounting at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, one of the top accountancy programs in the United States, if not the world. AMDG
