Author’s Acknowledgements

I hope that this book will help many of the small business owners who struggle to keep up to date with their finances.

This book aims to assist those who need a simple accounting system which will provide them with enough information to help make sensible business decisions. Throughout the book, I try and provide practical examples when using the software, to help make the monthly accounting process as straight forward as possible.

I’d like to thank the staff at Wiley, who have been very kind and supportive during the process of writing and reviewing this book, particularly Jo Jones and the rest of the development team, who have worked hard to produce the For Dummies book that you see before you.

Finally, I cannot possibly end without thanking my husband Malcolm and my daughter Megan, who have put up with my long absences from family life whilst I’ve been buried under paperwork in my office.

I hope you enjoy reading the book ...
