Getting started with QuickBooks? - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm a firm believer in the "do what you love and pay someone to do the rest" philosophy. I love running my site. I hate accounting :P

However, with a new corporation, my bookkeeping requirements have increased and I am avoiding QuickBooks like nothing else right now because I am not comfortable I have it set up right. Apparently the Premier edition comes with a bunch of templates for common service/bricks-and-mortar business types. Is there anything like this for a web-based business?

How did anyone else out there using QuickBooks Pro get started? Are there some kinds of templates you can get? I should ask my accountant on Monday, but how much would it cost to have someone set things up? Any bookkeepers out there want to do a barter for web design/coding stuff?

I'd just hire someone and not think twice about it except I'm broke as hell right now and trying to go the DIY route as much as possible for the next couple of months.

we got our accountant to do it for us ... well worth the money to know it was done correctly!

There is a great two CD video tutorial available for QuickBooks that I used called "Learning QuickBooks 2007" Just search for it on amazon. However I recommend you talk to a CPA to get everything set up right.
