Getting Started
Before you can use QuickBooks Pro to manage your company’s finances, you need to install it and configure it for your use.
Installation is as easy as drag-and-drop, as you’ll learn in the first part of this chapter. Copying QuickBooks to your computer’s hard disk takes just minutes.
Configuring QuickBooks is a bit more time-consuming. Fortunately, QuickBooks comes with a New Company Setup Assistant, which makes the job easy. You’ll use it to enter general information about your company, as well as specific information for accounts and opening balances.
